The World 2D in 2005
CyberConnect LLC is created and The World 2D goes online.

It lives a long life until it goes down in December of 2007 in preperation for a new game release by CyberConenct LLC

The World 2D in 2008
The World 2-D was put back online in January of 2008, and Players continued enjoying the game, even though there wasn't a plot. Players were not reset and were able to continue leveling up across the various fields. Ovan did appear and attempted to start a new storyline a few times, but most were dropped within a week. The number of guilds increased as Players began reaching level 50 and starting guilds of their own. Some popular guilds were the Turks, Twilight Brigade, Lost Brigade and more.

CyberConnects Lab was opened during the spring of 2008, but was only accesible to Players with Lab Keys, or special permission allowing them to enter the area.

The World 2D in 2009
In the summer of 2009, The World 2-D was revised and rereleased. Mac Anu and other Root Towns were completely changed and different from The World back in 2008. There was a bar added to Mac Anu that brought in a lot of the Players. Nothing could be done in the game, except for conversation and exploration of the town. The World was online for about a month, and then went offline because of a major issue in the program.

A month or so later, The World Classic was open for about a week. Players could only visit an unfinished Mac Anu, all looked the same, and chat with other Players.

No plot was formed with both versions of The World. [] did appear, but nothing happened.

The World 2D in 2010
Re-released as of 3/10/10.

As of 04/08/10 an account wipe took place, with Joe's version of "Pluto Kiss".

2014 - The World 2D:Underground
For a time in 2014, and possibly earlier, a complete game was released under the name The World Underground. This server had all the same features of the previous renditions of the game with far fewer players. In December of 2014, the server went offline, never to return.

Several important characters from the History of The World appeared in this server, but there was no longstanding plot, although many events did happen.

The World in 2015 - The World R:1
A long-time player of The World 2D obtained the source for the game, and completely rebuilt it from scratch, giving it the name The World R:1.

He created a team and company to head development, and on 07/01/15 the first Alpha build was released.

Since then, many players, both old and new, have logged in to The World for bug testing as well as gameplay.
