Can’t wait to show everyone what we have been doing!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I can’t wait to see it!
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,

You dirty tease.
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” :^)
Great stuff! Looking forward to it, Raph.
Knock ’em dead in the demo!
My poor F5.
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… 🙂

[…] 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. https://www.raphkoster.com/2007/09/18/a-big-day-metaplace/ […]
