Earlier quoted context omitted.

Can I destroy things created by others?

In open areas yes, though please don't :) it's a very open world relying on each of us to do good. (Destructions of established blocks will leave dust that is traced back to you, and allows the undoing of the removal.) You can make a new area though where you can set the permission to you/ you and your friends only, meaning someone won't be able to remove a block there. Created areas with such permissions have anothe…

Well, that was a silly ending but always fun to team up with some random anon.

Have you looked into implementing some form of AI/bot API or the like? With the major workload being done on the creator/owner side.

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 ).

I started a game, found a unicorn, flew up to a spaceship, flew up to a tiny, floating, green block. When I got out of the spaceship, it flew away! This stranded me on the block. Now I see no way to reset my character, and there is nothing to do but die.

I'm sure this is a fun game, but I only got 4 minutes in before it became totally unplayable. :(

If you open the map, you can teleport anywhere and get back to playing.

This is fantastic, though I seem to be falling to my death fairly regularly, loading to interlude screen and then clicking to get back. Are there going to be consequences for dying? If not why have the interlude?

Also the falling to death kicks in much faster than I would have expected.

Other than those two, once more a great game. Reminds me of Wyvern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyvern_(video_game)) in some ways.

Doesn't seem to work well from a phone or tablet, at least not that I could figure out after a couple minutes trying

This is so slow it's unusuable.

I've gotten to http://manyland.com/info-speed-issues every single time.

And yes:

- I'm using Google Chrome

- This is my only tab/window open

- The window is about 25% of the screen size on a 15" rMBP

- I've disabled all extension windows

- I have no anti-virus software (plz don't hack me every1)

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.

Why is Chrome haha?

Because in a technical crowd not using Chrome is a conscious choice rather than an oversight due to ignorance.
