Serious question, did early VR worlds feel more like empty prototypes to anyone else?

I mean, I used to think they were just clunky experiments with basic interactions. Idk, maybe it's just me, but logging into a modern persistent world last month made me realize how rich and lived-in they've become. The persistence of user-built structures and ongoing events creates a sense of history that was totally missing before. Specifically, finding notes left by other players from weeks ago completely shifted my view on what these spaces can be.

No way, you actually found notes from other players that were weeks old? I remember when everything reset after each session, so the idea of persistence like that is mind-blowing! It makes those spaces feel so much more alive and meaningful, doesn't it? That kind of history building is what turns a prototype into a real community space. I'm genuinely excited to see how this evolves further!
