...how does one begin to chart the landscape of LambdaMOO? There is nothing IRL which compares to it. It is described not with mountains and valleys and oceans - but with friends, neighbours and lovers. And distances are not physical, but emotional - they don’t actually exist in virtuality but we paint them in our heads and that’s easy to do when a room description has named exits, go north, go south, etc. But when it comes to rooms with no connections to anything, then there’s no geography and so we construct it for ourselves.
Felis~Rex, LambdaMOO enthusiast, has created this intriguing map of some of its virtual rooms http://www.gotham-city.net/lambdamoo/moomap.htm and an even better map - interactive - here http://www.gotham-city.net/lambdamoo/lambdamoomap/lambdamoomap.htm. Use mouseover to read the room descriptions.
