A new virtual world will be online in the next weeks for the public: Awomo (A world of my own).

From a press release:

“GDI Ltd recently announced that it has opened the registration for the free Beta test of AWOMO (’A World Of My Own’), a revolutionary game digital delivery service embedded within a 3D “virtual world” island paradise for gamers, in which launching a game is as simple as walking into a building.

Unlike other online delivery services, which require the entire game to be downloaded before the gamer starts playing, AWOMO delivers the same game playable in a matter of minutes on a standard broadband connection using GDI’s new proprietary technology.

Over 50 PC games will be in the trial, with no charge to gamers who sign up. The first gamers to set foot within AWOMO will also have access to a number of custom virtual items that will forever identify them as founder members of the community.

“The games are set within a 3D virtual world, which will become home to the world’s games community by offering hundreds of streamed games and many special features, including live voice chat and high profile competitions to win big prizes.”
