I have an X on my little hand thing by my name, along with a red question mark. I'm unable to chat or interact with anything in the environment.

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.

For the record, I'm experiencing no latency or performance issues when using Chrome.

I'm using Firefox with old hardware and it is working somewhat well.

Imagine having a hall where everyone can meet to pitch their startups in front of thousands of other players.

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 ).

This is beautiful and I love it. I think the 8-bit graphics are definitely appealing to early generation gamers like myself. I don't know if it's my personal bias, but I think the cartoonish simplicity makes it more endearing.

Seems awesome from what I am seeing so far from just poking around. Could you add a way to import assets easily so that they can be developed using other tools or imported?

Thank you! Early on, we decided not to include an asset import tool - there were a number of factors, but mainly we wanted to nurture the in-game creativity, and keep a level playing field. We will keep an open mind regarding future direction though!
