&gt; Actually what I have in mind is more like VRML or HTML rather than
&gt; Java.  I would restrict it to characters, some NPCs, and simple
&gt; objects.  Complex NPCs are fairly hard to move around from place to
&gt; place if they depend on the code of the server.  A better way to
&gt; move complex NPCs is to have them handle their own code--as remote
&gt; bots. {did I just hear an admin scream?}.

I'm curious:

  Why do you consider that NPC's, even complex NPC's would have more
code backing them than player characters?

If anything I find the reverse here.  Characters tend to become very
buff with custom code (cf LambdaMOO), while NPC's starve for such
attention.
