Areae means “many places” in Latin.

Raph Koster has unveiled his new company, Areae.

Who are we?
Areae, Inc. was founded in July of 2006. We’re venture-backed now, and run by our President, Raph Koster and John Donham, veterans of the whole “massively multiplayer” scene. We’re working on some new tech that will literally change how virtual worlds are made. We’ve got a cool world or two incubating on the back burner. And we’re hiring, so if any of this sounds exciting, drop us a line. We’ll be running quiet for a while — check back in a few months to see how far we’ve come.
