SecondLife cracked this 15 years ago.

  OpenCobalt has been around even longer than SecondLife, if we count the various forks/renames (Croquet/OpenCroquet/Qwak/etc.) Edit: It seems SecondLife is slightly older than I though (2003, versus Croquet's 2005)

  Before that (in the 90s): Blaxxun Interactive.

  Not really. SecondLife is a closed, centralized platform. I know the client is open source and that Open Simulator exists, but it's not quite the same thing. The Croquet Project[1] (what Open Cobalt is built on) allowed P2P virtual worlds that users could travel between.
