Lovely. It reminds me of a website I used to go to in the early 2000, when I was a kid. It was called L'Escale, ans as a member you had your very own room on a pirate ship, and you could choose your pet from three possibilities, a monkey, a parrot and a cat iirc. It was extremely simple but back then it was amazing to me.
Later I was a member of a 3D universe (created in 1998, mind you), a French speaking "fork" (not really but it's complicated) of ActiveWorlds. It was called Le Village 3D, and as a (paying) member, you had your own lot in the village, a perfectly square area that was yours and on which only you could build (typically a house but not necessarily).
I can totally see the appeal of having your own little cosy space. This is not what it is apparently, but it made me think of it. Here you can create as many rooms as you want, and that's why it's not as beautiful as what I was experiencing back then. It is scarcity I'm missing. Creating an account was complicated. Losing your account was a catastrophe. I cherished what I had.
- dopidopHN 3y agoI remember using the village 3D for a while. Nice little community. I was 14 or 15 so I never used the pay plan but Stayed on the « tourist » plan. With a goofy skin and no « property » to build on. It was still a cool, little clunky thing.
