Claims9
A method of accessing a computer system application comprising:
- a. a global table of character profiles;
- b. a plurality of users;
- c. a login process whereby each of said users has access to said table and their selection of character profiles is a function of user personal account resources, the current state of other users, and the profiles in the table;

A method of a computer system simulation comprising:
- a. a global table of character profiles;
- b. a plurality of users which at any given time within the simulation control a portion of said characters;
- c. the remainder of said characters controlled by computer simulation;
- d. a user login and logout process whereby a user selects a character from said table of character profiles, and if said character is currently controlled by computer, control is transferred to said user upon login and back to the computer upon user logout, without simulation interruption;
- e. internal simulation events which force the transfer of control from user to computer and back during the life of the simulation without simulation environment interruption.
