      They are not the same type of world. It's like being in Counter-Strike and walking through a door, suddenly you are in UT3, without changing games or disconnecting from the servers. It just hands your connection to the other server.

    Wooo... cool. Sort of.

    Now, to start merging games and worlds - Unreal Tournament in Second Life, or maybe in Google Maps? (Bwahaha)

      hahaaha yeah... I would just like to be able to walk from the SL grid to a Napalm grid seamlessly.

      That would be really awesome.
