Interesting, it's probably a good idea to try preserving this stuff for history, but at the same time, there's no way to really capture online game worlds to the extent you can with other parts of history. Video of gameplay, screenshots, and write ups are only part of it.

That would be cool to see, something like a gaming museum of sorts. It'd be a blast to walk through and see the very first text games and as you keep walking see the progression to where we are now. Playable kiosks would be a must.

Now that's some edutainment!!
