Growing up I used to play aqworlds and it was super common in my online friend group at the time for everyone to host their own private servers on their own websites, once I got into the fediverse and webhosting again, I was reminded of it and it got me thinking how cool it would be to have a browser 2d mmo where people hosted their own servers.
Is there a game that implements activityhub at all? Like where server chat can be read and sent from something like mastodon.
I realize this is a stretch and something like this doesn’t make sense or exist, just curious.
Did you mean
OpenGridOpenSim? Second Life is not hosted by anyone but Linden Lab.Oh wow are you talking about OpenSimulator and hypergrids like OSGrid? I haven’t thought about those in years, I had to look them up again.
As I recall: people reverse-engineered the Second Life communication protocol to make a library to interact with it. Then they made their own viewers/interfaces. Then they made their own second-life-like servers/worlds. Then they made it possible to connect those worlds in grids. This was all open source. I haven’t been following them for a while though.
