I browsed it a bit. Only a bad test version for linux,
and it would take me many days to download the world.
It's not viable for me even as an imaginary substitute.

If anything I can imagine I can create,
why would I create an imaginary world
when I want and need a REAL community?
That's what I've been working
toward since the late 1960's.

HOW does a virtual community become a real community?
I had a bit of a REAL community for a long time, but
it was underfunded, plagued with traitors and idiots,
and ignored by those who pretended to be interested.
It crashed and burned.
