You also have to go pretty far to find a PC being used everyday that cannot run the viewer. Making something for Second Life is easier than MetaPlace or Habbo as it doesn't require that you learn how to make sprites. Building with primitives in SL is a much easier skillset to learn which then allows more creativity quicker. Also you might want to research some up and coming virtual worlds that are in beta. One of them is using the Far Cry engine for example. Second Life only has the highest technical barrier to entry for USERS not CREATORS.

I'm pretty sure Habbo Hotel and There are a lot more stable and less demanding. I thought Second Life had the highest technical barrier-to-entry of all the successful social virtual worlds.
