There were some rebellions in Second Life too. Wagner James Au tells some of these stories in "The Making of Second Life" Collins 2008.

Dear AoIR-lers:
I need some help. I was invited to participate in a conference for games developers and multimedia artist, and I´m thinking to talk about user´s rebellions in online games and virtual worlds. Reading the Celia Pearce´s book "Communities of play" (excellent reading) I found a mention of a WoW rebellion, in 2004. Can you suggest me some other readings about this kind of grass-root protest movements? Also any pictures? Thank you very much =)
