You can see lots more if you're willing to go text-based. Like LambdaMOO: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LambdaMOO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LambdaMOO (telnet: lambda.moo.mud.org 8888) - not the oldest but one of the oldest that's substantially community-built (it doesn't take much to get permission to make things) and still running.
- soylentcola 11y agoMUDs and the like were my first thought as well. I guess they don't have the immediate visual effect of the later graphical worlds but over the years I occasionally log back on to some of the old MUDs I used to frequent if they're still up and running. Always weird to see a place that used to be filled with at least 20-40 people now only populated by maybe the sysop's character idling for months in the public channel.
- distances 11y agoInterestingly MUDs still have some niche to fill. Granted, a lot of them withered roughly a decade ago when MMORPGs became mainstream, but there are some that are fully alive and kicking. For example, Aardwolf MUD [1] seems to have about 300 players online most of the time, with peaks of 400 players [2].
