This is quite a long flowery article that mostly manages to stay away from invoking web3 but the idea of miniverses built and run by small communities sounds great. Like MUDs, BBSes or Quake servers way back when.
- vorpalhex 5y agoCommunity run Minecraft servers would be the modern version.
- meheleventyone 5y agoYup, that’s a really great example.
- beebeepka 5y agoI am not sure Quake servers are anything like 2nd life/miniverse/teenyverse. Sure you can meet people (even met multiple women that way) but shooting at overbright skins is nothing like maintaining a VR property. Or is it?
- meheleventyone 5y agoThis view misses out on the wide variety of Quake servers, the rich modding community behind them and the way a static identity caused a community of players to coalesce around them. All things largely lost in the modern iteration of FPS games with queues and ranked matchmaking.
