Most of the arguments were based on agism, both real age and time since joining. Eventually the society broke down to the point where many public arguments and finger pointing was placed on city-wide message boards. It had expanded so far that promises made were never followed up on. However CyberTown eventually declined to an urban decay society. There were those who were just passing by, those than didn't want to do anything else but chat, and those who wanted the responsibility of volunteering and holding a job positions with numerous places for advancement.
At this point CyberTown had a little for everyone. This created a huge demand for jobs which in turn created a more dynamic economy and gave new objectives for people.Įver since the merge CyberTown expanded at a fast rate in terms of new worlds being opened and new users joining on. To allow this influx of citizens to have homes in CyberTown, new "colonies" (places to live) had to be created. At the time CyberTown was mainly a portal site with categories of links, however Colon圜ity was able to use the ideas from the categories to make 3D worlds and expand CyberTown. Midway through 1999, Colon圜ity merged with CyberTown which dramatically increased the users to 75 000. Those that were employed were most likely part of the development team or were the first people to arrive. These VRML files became shared virtual worlds using blaxxun's award-winning multi-user server technology, enabling people from all over the world to meet and interact in rich-media environments in real-time on the Web.īefore the merge of Colon圜ity and CyberTown, Colon圜ity had a massive unemployment problem which neared 90% of users unemployed, making the main purpose people came to Colon圜ity was to interact with the other users. Colony City made use of the VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language), a standard for displaying 3D content, including virtual worlds and avatars, on the Web. A chat program designed by Blaxxun is also coupled with the VRML 3D worlds to make it more complete and capable of having a society structure by adding social interaction between users.Ĭolony City was started in 1997 as a showcase project of blaxxun interactive of Munich, Germany. The 3D worlds run on the VRML programming language, which is easy to design and modify. The Cybertown trademark image are the 3D worlds that is has.
