Re:Former Worlds Employee with notes on patent cla (Score 1)

Here's a couple of prior art takes. Air Warrior from Kesmai Commercial in 1987. MMP 3D game Limited what avatars are displayed through server and client, allowed client to modify or prioritize which were displayed. Warbirds, 1994, Displays up to 32 of hundreds of avatars in a virtual world, server based avatar culling. There are others as well. I still haven't seen anything discussed about this patent that wasn't commercially published proir to 1994, with possible exception of the client specifically configuring the exact number of avatars to display, and I would bet that's out there too.
