This is an infinite browser-based mmo universe where everything can be drawn and placed into the world, wiki-style... give us a shout if you need anything! You can also script blocks to have interaction or influence the environment (for instance, here's an adventure: http://manyland.com/newpolis ).

Can I destroy things created by others?

Why is Firefox still to slow to play this?

[Other dev] You can use firefox, but chrome seems to run the game a bit faster. Some of the busy areas have a massive amount of stuff in them, so you might want to try some that are a bit more lightweight (e.g. try manyland.com/5). We are working on improving client performance, so this will get better over time!

It also works fine in IE 11.

Very cool. This reminds me of Lucasfilm's Habitat, the world's first (?) graphical MMO, from the mid 1980s:

which incidentally is being restored by booting the original servers found in a collector's basement:

Looks interesting, but it's laggy as hell. Running latest Firefox on a beefy hardware. Got booted off twice already with "you have performance issues" and a suggestion to switch to Chrome (haha). Just FYI.

I'm running Firefox nightly on Linux on a thinkpad x230 and this runs perfectly.

An skynet-free registration option would be nice.

[Other dev] I agree! We just recently added login free, but will look again at the login options based on user feedback like this.

I like Mozilla's Persona. I used it for my (now defunct) 2D chatroom.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

More like Minecraft 0.5. It looks like a 2D sidescroller from the 1980s.

so perhaps Habbo

It does look a lot like Habbo. I've never actually played Habbo, but I know about it because I track phishing scams. Phishing scams for "Habbo coins" were popular a few years ago. (The good old days, when attacks came from kids in their parents basement, not major intelligence services.)
