It has been widely believed that Active Worlds was ‘taken over’ by Goreans. Many people were not aware of Gor until joining visual chat rooms such as the Palace, Active Worlds, and Second Life. However, the Gorean culture has shifted towards more open communities. Gor has been a presence online for quite some time, but their exposure has been limited to places such as Usenet and private IRC channels. Followers of the philosophies and lifestyle outlined in the books are called Goreans. Advanced technology is present, but the life of the humans on the planet remain otherwise primitive to the modern day. It is a highly detailed setting in terms of wildlife and customs, borrowing from various ancient cultures such as the Greek, Native American and Viking cultures. Gor is an alternate-world detailed in John Norman’s “Chronicles of Gor”, a twenty-six novel series that combines philosophy and erotica with science-fiction.
