[X3D-Public] Persistent worlds was RE: Open-Source Multi-User

[Russ Kinter]

The DM server is just a hub. It only transfers and stores information.
It doesn't do any calculations in terms of the users' positions. 
That of course is do-able, but I will leave that up to the server-side
scripting school of MU thought like Second Life.
Easier and more efficient imho for something like that is to have a client
or bot initialize it and then send it to the network.
