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:

Absolutely! I loved Compuserve's Worlds Away back in the 1990s, it's rooted in Habitat, and it was a big inspiration for Manyland. I've never seen Habitat except in trailers, and it looks absolutely amazing... like much else of what Lucasfilm did.
