Open source for the online game universe

Massive online games, virtual words, social networking applications: they are growing up.

Project Darkstar is a software infrastructure that aims to simplify the development and operation of massive online games, virtual words and social networking applications. Originally created by Sun Microsystems, it's today advanced as an open source project through the Project Darkstar Community.

Darkstar is designed to avoid problems like zone overloading, data corruption, server under-utilization, and it's designed to be used directly by developers and operators of massive online games, virtual words and social networking applications.
