Introduction
A brief history of virtual worlds
- <<<The only thing I can bring to this section is a small acquaintance since 1996 with what became ActiveWorlds, a decade of excessive online gaming in 3 major MMOs, and 5 years of Second Life + a little Opensim. I don't consider that a usable background for writing a history of VWs. Morg>>>
