I agree with the ignore on telegrams or a "hide" feature, so not only
can ppl not see what world your are in, but also but also cant tell if
you are on at all.
So you can work in peace or just be alone.
Some ppl have to buy secondary accts, just to "hide"

Plus many women (and men) get harrased by perverts, ignorant ppl, etc
etc.
This feature to block them out or not recieve would be excellent.

I get it now too, I would love the privacy of no one knowing i am in there.
But on the other hand, its like giving a burner to music pirates.
There will damned tourist builds all over the frikin place by some terd who gave a bunch of tourists
his privs.

I just want an option that no One can see if i am in there. period...
No teles, no check beside my name. just privacy!

Eeps suggestion of AW being more towards a game, is a step in a
misleading direction.
AW is a VRML2 program a chat program at that.
Yes the future lies in E-commerce, which i believe AW is failing at, and
on-line Gaming.
It would be wiser for AWCOM to focus their attention on the On-Line
surge that is heading our way.
For those who do not wish to play games, but maybe like to trade, chat ,
build etc.. in a virtual community.

To focus on marketing AW as a "Community" is a better plan. Maybe even
to have it as a focal point for which ppl can move from here and meet up
in Games.

If AW as Eep would have it, were to be marketed and turned into an
on-line game, I am afraid 1. More ppl would leave and not come back. 2.
AWCOM would lose all its money and go bankrupt.

If you wish to play games, then buy UO, EQ, Or Vampire.

If you wish to create Levels, Maps, "Worlds" then buy the above.

Again, I say, as i said in the World builders NG... AW is not a game.
It is a virtual community. VR.

The Gang at AWCOM should be marketing towards a Virtual Reality
Community.
A global meeting place, for entertainment, work, and relaxing.

Adding features for MP3, movies, even live video from person to person,
would be steps in opening this On-Line world.

By creating more ways of destroying present day archaic communications (
Long Distance) we can bring the World, our friends (new and potential
friends), Families together.

The World is a small place and getting smaller. By developing VR, and
giving us a format to travel, learn and communicate openly, is the step
in the right direction.

Eep drop the "gaming idea" no one is goin to buy it.

Jul 8, 2000, 9:32pm

OK so those two dont, i was using them as examples that i have often heard AW naysayers use. "come to EQ, or Come to UO its so much
better..."

I guess maybe Vampire, or NWN (Never Winter Nights) would have been better examples.

Renderware schmenderware, You needed to argue my point, by pointing out my faults, Eep has taught you well lil man.

The point is, as the subject is, AW is not a Game.

Follow up on a Point and not the mistakes, and then maybe you might be existing on an actual of thought. worthy of some recognition

Thanx for the clarification though Myrth

When do we get in to the immersive aspect of AW? When we can dawn
glasses and or gloves and actually feel immersed into this "vr" worlds
we have created.
Is there any headway on this technology being implemented for Active
Worlds?

Like desktop Virtual Reality, with glasses and a data glove or a 6-D
mouse.
Any thing like this.... When When When?

Nov 1, 2000, 2:36pm

I have been told this has been brought up bfore, but why not again.

I was told in the days of old of AW, a world owner could eject or ban by
account number. Then this feature was removed.
Now you can only eject based in IP. Which is a useless feature seeing as
most dial-up users simply needs to reboot, be assigned a new IP and then
voila, they are back in to harass again.
Seeing as most of the "Law" of Aw is virtual powerless to Ban
relentlessly re occurring harrasser and mischievous deviants, it should
be up to the world owners who pay money, to have a feature they need to
keep undesirable people out of their worlds.
Using the acct #, they could still eject users for 5 -10 or an
indefinite amount of time.
Simply by adding then removing the account number from the world
ejection box.
In the last months, I and some other world owners have had some issues
from certain users that will not cease to go away.
having this feature "re" implemented would help keep our worlds safer.

Anyone else agree? Anyone know why it was removed in the first place.
The floor is open.
Eeps need not apply

Nov 2, 2000, 12:24am

so because it is on here, Doesn't mean that it will make it... but it is
a realistic one, so it might?
As for people with dual accts, or coming in again with their
secondary...well ban them too.
As for tourists, they are no worries, pesky ones are all over, just
eject them.
design features like this hopefully can be implemented again, or maybe
even part of the AWServer set up exe.
for say a custom install.
I know I have had some issues of late that ppl in AW and others have not
been able to control and having a ban acct feature would have solved the
problem in minutes.
Hopefully other world owners can put in some words to support this as
well.
:)

Nov 2, 2000, 4:37am

Thats great and all Anduin but i would like a service from the company I pay to
have worlds from.
Its not that hard of a feature to implement.

it is your own fault if you give out passwords and even privs to the most
trusted of friends.
It states clearly I believe in the AW instal (which no one reads) and in the
acct info , not to give out passwords and privs, which is genrally safe practice
anywhere.
In short, if someon uses your powers for bad, You are responsible.
Bottom line.

LOL no you two, I paid for my renewal of my world and for the expansion.
the only way i can tell they activated the expansion is to try building
beyond my farthest point.
Sure i can restart the world and it will say, world expires in 365 days
or whatever, but i was thinkin it would be nice if you know I got my
reciept,
says i paid for such and such, then another one that says: Aw has
activated or renewed your world for another year.

and I dont have 3.1 lol.

Oct 3, 2000, 11:24pm

Umm I got a question, well first, yes i would like to be in the contest.
But well when it first appeared in the Newsletter quite some time ago, there was
no info on the contest.
So i wrote lucrzia i believe, and asked, quite simply, " what's this about"
Where upon i was entered into the contest.

If i remember the info correctly, you could win a world for a year.

but what are the rules? when did it start, when does it end?
Is Eep a woman?

ok, wait, i guess I see when it ends, (by reading the end of this string).
But umm what's it all about, is there a web site? who organized this?

lol at first all i wanted to know what it was about, now I am in it.

best of luck to me, and best of luck to my answers.

Thanx

Please don't take us down the EQ road again Eep, no one wants to be a Dwarf, or a Wizard.
I am sure Awcom see's their growth and bla bla.
Sign up for EQ, and go OD on it, AWCOM has their own agenda, and if it fails
then you can say "I told you so". Until then, stop spamming us with you RPG
Crap.
Ever think that the User that are citizens in AW come here because they like the lack of Gameing type
