Room

A room is a small space, not necessarilly defined by visible walls, but defined by walls never the less. It can be any area interior or exterior, which displays a part of the world. Users, objects, NPCs and mobiles can be found in rooms, and rooms tend to have hyperlinks or hotspots connecting them to other rooms which make up other parts of the world.

A room is frequently a way of using minimal memory for a world, by only loading for the user, the part they are in at the time.
