Very cool, although Don Adam would probably be noting discrepancies between the virtual London and the London he knew to be accurate from his own research. It does point to a mammoth opportunity that museums and municipalities are missing. Places with any claim to historic noteworthiness ought absolutely to put walkable (fly-able) models of their cities online: Jerusalem (Walk through the Temple! (I havent explored it in Assassins Creed, keep meaning to); Paris in the 1920s, or the 1770s; Berlin; S Petersburg; Beijing; Angkor Wat; even Oxford. In a perfect world, someone would write (or port, from WoW or another such environment) a single sign-on environment from which one could take a persona from one such module to another: I might have tea with Katie Murphy in Augustan London, go to the Temple with Madhavi Nevader after, then visiting the Taj Mahal with Laura Harris-Adam and Rich King, or the Wartburg with Charlotte Methuen. Education, tourism, advertising — and the world design wouldnt have to devote time/money/code to complex interactions with hostile bosses, min-maxing hardcore raiders, or balance among classes.
