While this initial entry about Dreamscape is wonderful to see, it doesn't capture the true wonder of a virtual community that is so much more than just CHAT. I was active in Dreamscape for about five years, even serving in the capacity of remote staff for a time. Though I no longer devote as much time to Dreamscape as I once did, I still regularly communicate with friends I met there. Outside of the online realm there are real life 'gatherings' that have occurred both domestically and internationally- I'm proud to have met the people behind the avatars on several occasions.
Are there those to whom this virtual world is nonsense and all a game? Yes. Conversely there are many who truly call Dreamscape home and carry memories of events experienced and friendships gained for the rest of their days. I am proud to have been a part of Dreamscape's first ten years and hope to see it celbrate many more years of success.
Joscelin 00:29, 14 May 2007 (UTC) Wikipedia entries are not meant to capture the "true wonder" of anything.
Also, can someone fix up this article? Widdlewabbit's additions are clearly biased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.81.162.179 (talk) 00:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mistake
The Dreamscape was originally created in 1994 by a team of world designers for Fujitsu America, headed by the virtual communities gurus Randy Farmer and Chip Morningstar, who created the first graphical virtual world for George Lucas in 1987 called Club Caribe.
I think the above paragraph is wrong, the first graphical virtual world was called Habitat, which Club Caribe replaced. Someone please fix this.
