I've not played WoW, so am not quite sure of the differences in functionality. Purpose-wise, there are games in SL, but it's primarily a multi-user virtual, perpetual environment, imagined and created by the residents. It uses the Linden Lab platform/backbone and scripting language. There is much music and many events. Art, museums, but also Roma, medieval, and vampire sims. Colleges are increasingly using it for distance learning, and I initially ended up there with my former library system to investigate libraries in virtual worlds. Three years later, I am still involved as a volunteer with one of their original projects, but tend to spend a certain amount of time hanging out elsewhere.
