The top three have always been AW, AWGate and AWTeen.. and with the amount
of idiots running around in AW I don't think AWTeen will ever fall.. because everyone in it either builds or has CT privs, hehe.. </flame> [View Quote] j b e l lNov 17, 2002, 9:00pm
I agree, however, a large amount of people have been begging "The Powers
that Be" to add a sort of monetary system to AW..... [View Quote] strike rapierNov 24, 2002, 1:29am
Kindly take your Anti-AWTeen non liberalistic crap where we dont have to see it :)
Come up with a P-3000 with an object path that makes InSaNiTy look like a 56k ftp server, a community that regually holds so many events they work out at roughly 100 to 1 AWTeen : AWDebate... Only 2 people have CT privileges in the world, those are Chantal and Jimmy (Chanty and Poseidon) and then your thoughts may be taken more seriously.. until then, shaddup. - Mark [View Quote] technozeusNov 24, 2002, 6:19am
I don't "know" which way he actually meant it, but although I can see where you could have gotten the interpretation you did, I can also see how what he said could have easily been saying how much "above average" AWTeen is. After all, a statement of what can be found in AW is not a statement of what can be found in AWTeen, and a statement (weather completely accurate or not) that everyone there either builds or is a caretaker implies a rather productive group. :)

Anyway before we get too far off the track, the point I wanted to make was that AW Public build worlds have IMHO been for far too long neglected. And as a result, Unless you have a few friends who are world owners, and have invited you into their world to do as you please, I feel you do not get a lot for being "just: a citizen" paying the $70 US it is a year unless you are happy to settle with AWTeen (and even then, I'm sure how well AWTeen will handle the next coming year). It's basically hitting one brick wall after another trying to build in AlphaWorld, Yellow and other worlds. I felt I had reached the end and I wasn't progressing anymore being confined to AlphaWorld. AWI it seems has it's attention directed more at World Owners and at the New AW while it's public build worlds are left to decay and gather dust. So this is where I get the feeling that AWI is now dropping this public build worlds thing and is now focusing on other things like the NewAW. If it is so, then my time is coming to end and it's almost time to move on, head for the exit and continue my trek down the Super information highway for a new 3D Platform. Because as I have indicated, I came here mostly for the building aspect. The alternative is to bite the bullet, let AWI Milk my bank account of thousands of dollars a year for a p100 or larger world. But frankly the online population alone in the AW Universe as a whole is IMO far too low to even justify this investment. Unless AWI can sufficiently demonstrate to me that ActiveWorlds can begin to grow and progress at a reasonable pace again, has a reasonable chance of surviving and staying with the leaders in 3D and not fall too far behind with developments in 3D. Spending thousands of dollars and not to mention hours of effort on a world is out of the question. |
