Lucasfilm's Habitat was created by Lucasfilm Games [...]. It was arguably
one of the first attempts to create a very large scale commercial
multi-user virtual environment. [...] Habitat is ambitious in its scope.
The system we developed can support a population of thousands of users in
a single shared cyberspace. Habitat presents its users with a real-time
animated view into an online simulated world in which users can
communicate, play games, go on adventures, fall in love, get married, get
divorced, start businesses, found religions, wage wars, protest against
them, and experiment with self-government. [...] The Habitat project
proved to be a rich source of insights into the nitty-gritty reality of
actually implementing a serious, commercially viable cyberspace
environment.
