LambdaMOO was founded in 1990 by Pavel Curtis at Xerox PARC.[3][4][5][6] Now hosted in the state of Washington, it is operated and administered entirely on a volunteer basis. Guests are allowed, and membership is free to anyone with an e-mail address.
LambdaMOO gained some notoriety when Julian Dibbell wrote a book called My Tiny Life describing his experiences there.[7] Over its history, LambdaMOO has been highly influential in the examination of virtual-world social issues.[3]
