The Palace is dead. . .long live The Palace! Originally developed by Jim Bumgardner for Time Warner Interactive in 1995, The Palace software has since been owned and developed by several failed companies, the latest of which (Communities.com) disappeared in 2001. In spite of this, hundreds of palaces happily live on, maintained by dedicated palace citizens across a network of palace servers. (The task of developing The Palace's successor has been attempted several times, but most notably by The Manor.)

The Palace software provides a visual 2D chat space with ambience created by photos and original artworks that serve more as scenic backdrops than any realistic illusion of space. The Palace's greatest feature is its ability to allow users to create avatars out of any image imaginable, creating endless opportunities for self-expression. A palace exists for just about every theme, topic, and demographic imaginable. A list of featured palaces is available at www.thepalace.com.
