"Lively by Google?

Lively was a network of avatars and virtual rooms created and decorated by its users. Google launched Lively on July 8, 2008 as an experiment in providing people with more ways to express themselves on the Web.

Lively's users created thousands of cafes, bars, discos, tropical islands, treehouses, space stations, galleries, bedrooms and more. Lively's users shared their rooms with people from all over the real world, meeting and chatting with each other via their customized avatars.

The experiment ended December 31, 2008"

As you can see from the above quote taken from the Google Lively site the experiment has come to an end. I am sorry to see it go as I thought Lively had promise and I hoped to use it as part of my elearning projects.
