-===History ([http://beginners.subspace.net/history.php source])===
+[[SubSpace]] began as a massively multiplayer (before that term existed) combat game dubbed '[[Sniper]]' in 1995 (later reincarnated as [http://infantry.station.sony.com/en/main.jsp Infantry]) but was quickly renamed and re-themed; it was made by Virgin Interactive Entertainment (VIE) and was one of the earliest action multiplayer online games, possibly the first semi-successful one.
 For two years the game was in open beta and several [[zone]]s were hosted by the VIE servers. The problems started when the game went retail. The servers were still free, but you had to buy the game CD to play on them. The game wasn't advertised well (very small marketing budget) and in spite of a severely addicted, albeit small, player community VIE pulled out in 1997 and a year later turned their servers off with little more than a shrug.
-''Never'' take away a junkies crackpipe.
+The server software was included with the CD due to the foresight of one of the main programmers, so user-made and hosted [[zone]]s continued to be made, but without VIE there was no central control or client code updates and cheating was rampant. In 1998, a West European company based in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland Finland] had purchased distribution rights just before VIE pulled the plug and their servers were initially used as a crutch while the American community regrouped. Slowly the community came together as strong servers were set up on the east and west coast of the US. The cheating was still choking the game to death, but a loyal legion of volunteers kept the torches lit while a handful of programmers began a new project in secret.
-Although now roughly nine years old, [[SubSpace]] is as popular and addicting as it's ever been. The old VIE [[zone]]s are still there, now known as SSS zones (Standard SubSpace Settings) or more commonly [[SVS]] (Standard VIE Settings), but there's now all kinds of different [[zone]]s and settings to play. The recent updates to [[Continuum]] as well as extensive cyberbot scripting throughout individual zones has allowed the entire community to constantly develop and evolve the gameplay and graphics.
+In 2001 these programmers unveiled a brand new client for [[SubSpace]] that had been reverse-engineered from the ground up to replace the aging VIE client.
