Worldforge

The Worldforge Project has been around since at least 1998 (when it was known as Altima) and has an ambitious goal: to develop free tools and multimedia that will enable anybody to create a massively multiplayer online game. Every few years I discover they have are still around and are actually making progress. The project is amazingly resilient.

I was going to try the Worldforge Ember 3D client on my Debian sid system, but the package is currently uninstallable due to an unmet dependency. I'm filing the bug report right after this. I might try compiling Ember if an updated package doesn't appear soon.
