"Come to the edge. "We can't. We're afraid"
"Come to the edge. "We can't. We will fall!"
"Come to the edge. And they came.
And he pushed them. And they flew.
- Guillaume Appollinaire

"And once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return..." - Leonardo Da Vinci

Second Life is better even though I've never played. Best online game is APB and it's FREE to play.

LOK'TAR OGAR! . :)

warcraft all the way, and FOR THE HORDE!

[NE0TIMELESS]

Secondlife is better, you are more free in secondlife, and it is Free to Play. You can do business in secondlife, Sing live songs, being DJ, many many other sings. WOW is a game, secondlife is the future =)

nice video. have some of you people looked at the wow cheats pack at warcraftbotsXinfo (replace X with .) ? it's amazing, i just down loaded it. its got totally every thing inside it, gold guides, bots, hacks, glitches and even the new arena glitch. i probably should not tell people about it however at the very least it offers you all a fair chance to obtain it before i own all of you

[MadmunchkinMontages]

u cant put hese 2 side by side and select the best they're both completely differernt WoW is an mmorpg where as SL is a virtual reality

[Kelzek93]

Why would you even debate this? Is it not obvious WoW is better i mean come on lol.

[RodriguesSteve]

decent video, nice one. whats peoples thoughts on the brand new warcraft cheats on wowcheatsYnet (replace Y with . ) ? theyve improved me a lot however i was so surprised they were given away at no cost, insane.

Seriously, comparing 2 virtual worlds, one were you go and beat the crap out of everything, meet new friends, and make you're favorite character with whatever armor and weapons you want. And the other were you can go in fly mode at a click, enter diverse buildings, dance in certain areas, and in some cases sex. I don't think you need brain to think this out. Second Life can't beat wow and neither wow can't beat second life cos there 2 FUCKING DIFFERENT THINGS

[GdssRusa]

Well done, I happen to play in both realms.
