WorldServer¶

What is it?¶

WorldServer contains the server-side functions required to host .imml files and manage multiuser networking. Each WorldServer is capable of hosting an unlimited number of fully self-contained virtual worlds, with the only constraint being system hardware and internet bandwidth.

Where can I get it?¶

WorldServer has a number of different versions to suit different needs:

• WorldServer Lite can be downloaded and used immediately. It is available in the WorldServer Developer Package. It is a lightweight version of the server and is particularly good for development purposes as it is easy to install and start using in minutes. It can host worlds but lacks a management interface. Instead it hosts worlds automatically and has a console suitable for experts, hobbyists and open source users.
  • WorldServer Lite is free for non-Enterprise usage. See the WorldServer Developer Package for more information.
• WorldServer Enterprise Edition is a fully featured Enterprise server that includes an easy to use management console that allows easy administration of many worlds from one view as well as a GUI that makes adding worlds, setting up custom settings, viewing statistics and viewing users online much easier.
  • Find out more about WorldServer Enterprise Edition.
• The core server networking code is all open source and is available in the Repository. This is unsupported, but gives open source developers full control over their projects now and in the future.
  • The source code is available under the GNU GPL.
