You're about to step into the world's first MMO, Lucasfilm's Habitat! There are thousands of regions to explore and many wonderful folks to meet from all around the world who come to visit every day.
This is the Web Client — Habitat reborn in your browser. There's no emulator to start and no disks to flip: it loads in seconds and runs at modern speed.
When the title screen appears, click to begin. In a moment an Enter Habitat button shows up — press any key (or click it) and you'll be asked to type a name for your new Avatar, such as Threepwood, dril, or Phil Collins. That's it — you'll wake up inworld a moment later.
Your cursor is a Habitat joystick. Press and hold on the scene, then nudge in a direction to choose an action — the cursor changes color to show which one — and release to carry it out:
| Nudge | Action | Cursor |
|---|---|---|
| Up | GO — walk there | green |
| Down | DO — use / operate it | yellow |
| Right | GET — pick it up | red |
| Left | PUT — set it down | blue |
A quick tap with no nudge simply turns your Avatar to face that spot. To pick up or operate something, aim at the object before you release.
Just type — with your real keyboard or the on-screen one — and your words appear in a word balloon over your Avatar's head. Tap the keyboard icon (⌨) to show or hide the on-screen keyboard; it's handy on touch screens and kiosks. The F-keys trigger gestures and special actions (for example, F3 lists who else is here in the region).
Click the arrow chevrons (◀ ▶ ▼) around the edges of the scene to walk into the neighboring region. The compass and the four region previews along the bottom show you which way each exit leads, so you'll always know where you're headed.
This panel is your Docent — NeoHabitat's interactive guide. As you travel, it fills in with helpful tips, dynamic help, and historical background for the world around you. You can return to this page anytime by clicking the Help button.
