By July 1993, having reached about 40,000 subscribers, AT&T announced a plan to invest $5 million into the network and add more games, gaining partial control as part of its expansion into the growing online services. As a free service other than access use charges, the network provided a "land-based" precursor to MMORPGs and internet chat rooms, each land theme for the type of content provided multi-player gaming and category based bulletin boards and chat rooms throughout the continental United States. Development of the network began in 1989, as Ken Williams was inspired by the launch of the Prodigy service in 1988 to create something similar for Sierra's games. The Sierra Network was launched on May 6, 1991, as the first game-only online environment. Roberta, Ken, SO, and TSN helped lay the foundations for how we game online today. You've never heard of The Sierra Network? This includes photos, which are not obviously retro and portraits of famous young women doing nothing but posing.
