SecondLIfe as a Language Resource

Has anyone ever used (or is using) SecondLife, the Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) run by Linden Labs, as tool for language learning? It could provide a safe environment to practice writing (typing) and speaking (using in-game voice). Especially useful when encounters could take place in a virtual realisation of the country concerned it would create a quasi-immersive envrioment. Also provides contact with speakers of the target language that one would otherwise never meet. For example, I am learning Korean but apart from my teacher who runs the classes online there are no Koreans people or fellow learners in my area for me to practice with.
