Back around 1999/2000/2001, I used to play on virtual 3D worlds. I am just now realizing that those were just like earlier versions of Second Life! There was also another service before AWABA I used to use, but I don't remember the name of it. Eventually that became paid, so I switched to AWABA which was free. Then, Awaba went away. One day the server just went down, and it was gone. I used to build a lot of stuff in those worlds. I remember making little cities and buildings with multiple floors, teleporters, windows, etc.

Ha! yeah, that's right. I remember the world's GMs (if that's what they were called back then, I can't quite remember), Miriam, Neo... that was a great endeavor while it lasted. Looking back I can really see some ideas in AWABA that were just starting to develope, and which are being used today. Individuals would build semi-public buildings to promote a cause or what have you in the virtual community. And now the same thing is happening in worlds like Second Life, only by organisations such as universities.
