Rapture Engine

The Rapture Engine was created by Iron Realms Entertainment and is used by all of its MUDS, though albeit heavily modified for those most recently in production.

Rapture was used to develop an interactive chat system in conjunction with a United Nations affiliated organization for the 7th Annual World Summit of Young Entrepreneurs [ [http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,38340,00.html Wired news on the 7th Annual World Summit of Young Entrepreneurs] ] .
