[...] This one is interesting. Cause it’s not a game really. It’s more of a platform to create your own game. If you ever heard of DikuMuD (not sure if I have the capitalization correct on the letters) I think it might be a close analogy. A platform that many people built Muds off of. They tweaked it a bit but the basic mechanics all worked the same. And it became the basis for EQ. Now they got a similar web based platform and Raph Koster (SWG, UO) is behind it. Something to keep an eye on anyway. http://www.raphkoster.com/2007/09/18/a-big-day-metaplace/ [...]

I can’t wait to check it out and provide feedback. I have some ideas as to what’s coming, but I’m keeping them close to my chest for now.

Cheers,

Nick

So it starts. Between you, Conduit Labs, and Whirled it’s going to be a very interesting time to be a web gamer…

I think it’s all a huge Alternate Reality thing, something like “I Like Beaes” :^)

Hey Raph,
What’s up with the western, 3D, and subscription-centric list of virtual worlds on the Alpha application? No dungeon runners,neopets, habbo, maple story, etc? If any company would have a more encompassing list, I would’ve expected Areae to, especially since the 3D client is coming later.
Other than that oddity, Metaplace looks very exciting. Can’t wait for a chance to play with it.

Let me make sure I have this right: Metaplace is an “open source” development kit, hosting solution, and social network website for people who want to develop truly *active* websites/mmo’s without having to be a programmer?

It’s a quiet little thing, isn’t it?

Kind of like, I dunno, someone writing a small simple programming interface that let people surf the internet more efficiently…
