Hello,
Twinity is dead, so I was looking for something similar. I tested lot of open world with the same features Twinity offered and found OpenSim.
I created an account on Osgrid because its where there is most of the people, but feel free to chose any. You Still will be able to meet each other.
You can create an account here: http://www.osgrid.org
OpenSim is like Twinity but with more options. (OpenSim is not Second Life)
After few weeks on OpenSim I found it way better than Twinity.
