What is Activeworlds?
Activeworlds is the best 3D chat you'll have that is
not real life and Awportals.com has everything you need to get the
most out of it.
At close to 15 years old Activeworlds is one of the
oldest and most established 3D communities anywhere on the internet,
with over 360,000 users having registered during that time and more
registering each day .
In
Activeworlds you have control - from the avatar you wear through to
the very ground you walk on, it is easy to manipulate the environment
around you to create whatever you can think of, and with 10,000 objects
and 15,000 textures to choose from in major public worlds you will be
spoilt for choice.
What Can I Do?
The Activeworlds environment is totally flexible - you
can explore different worlds and areas
to chat using text or Voice Over IP "VoIP", take advantage
of the incredible building facilities
to create anything you like.
Perhaps
you could build yourself a virtual house
or maybe your own personal space station
- it is completely up to you.
Can I Try It For Free?
Sure! Activeworlds lets you try the environment as a
limited user, a "tourist" or to use a
credit card to gain a 2 week free trial
as a member.
As a tourists you can chat,
design and build with other users - however
your property may be edited or deleted
by any other user, and you may only build
in certain worlds.
Should I Become a Member?
In Activeworlds the members are known as 'Citizens',
and in order to become a citizen you
must immigrate. Immigration costs $69.95
per year or $6.95 per month - that's
2 months free when you pay yearly.
Being a citizen has its advantages - your property is
permanently protected from deletion in public building worlds, you
can maintain a contacts list for keeping
in touch with friends, can access telegrams
that allow you to communicate with other
users regardless of which world you are
in, and many other features besides.
Being a citizen is also the first step on the road to
owning your own private world where you
truly do have absolute control.
Where Do I Get It?
