	~~===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.

The game was evolutionary for two reasons— the ingenious server code allowed 28.8 modem connections (most common at the time of release) to seem like instantaneous reactions and it had deceptively simple gameplay combined with a depth and subtlety rivaling professional sports and chess.

	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.

	In 2001 these programmers unveiled a brand new client for [[SubSpace]] that had been reverse-engineered from the ground up to replace [[SubSpace]].
