I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library. Jorge Luis Borges

Paradise was originally written in Ruby, it was available as a multi-user server between 2011 and 2016. I spent some of my favourite days online interacting with players and the worlds that they built. Thanks to everyone who made this place so unique and for the good times.
