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.

    Second Life?

    Everything is hosted locally and created by the players. It works on BitTorrent tech to send and receive the data of objects and shit.

    There are also players run emulated servers for older MMOs like Ultima Online, EverQuest even WoW, making it somewhat decentralized. You’re not forced to actually subscribe to and play on the official servers (if they even still exist).

      Did you mean OpenGrid OpenSim? Second Life is not hosted by anyone but Linden Lab.
