In a virtual world, you can be anyone you want. You get to mingle, decorate your space, and in some games you can have a job. In order to maintain servers, a monthly subscription fee is required for most worlds.

1. There

Play, shop, explore, and talk in the online game "There." You'll pick and name your aviator, before you can take part in the virtual world. Not only do you get to go shopping, chat with friends, but also you can take part in events, such as Halloween.

Moove is a 3D online world. Decorate your home, invite others to come over, or explore the world by visiting your neighbors. You are required to pay a monthly fee to play, with the option to try it for free.
