All companies want to be successful. Success in the business world is
measured by the amount of money that they have. So I guess you won't be supporting any companies soon :-P [View Quote] Latest AWC Press release casts a bit of light on it's latest movesJan 15, 2002, 5:04pm
Holy crap, is that what it means!? WHOA! Sweet! I wonder if I could put
streaming realplayer things in there... I could start a RM server, whoa... AWESOME, HAHAH! :-P I wonder if that would come with sound... then I could broadcast my TV stations, kewl! :-P [View Quote] Weebette is in the hospital;(Jan 13, 2002, 1:55am

Good idea, we don't want to brainwash anyone :-\
This is terrible. I don't know him personally, but I hate to hear about things like this :-( [View Quote] Adressed to all the caretakers !Jan 15, 2002, 5:03pm
There's so many of these, I'm not even going to respond anymore. It just
wastes my time. LOL, but basically AWC doesn't give a shit. They want your money, not your support. [View Quote] Adressed to all the caretakers !Jan 15, 2002, 7:53pm
no, they get the money anyway :-P Many many people are too attached to AW,
sorry to say. People pay $120 a year for Everquest and that game is total shit too. It's graphics look like AW :-P At least they did 2yrs ago when I played it! haha [View Quote] Adressed to all the caretakers !Jan 15, 2002, 7:57pm
I just got this e-mail. Not sure if he wants me to post it or what but
iether way, it is well thought out. Take a gander: AWC removed my right to post in this NG, I have sat and read every post tho and now I have something to say. Tourists: How does AW propose it's going to get new members without them? In the past few weeks I have asked that question, no one seems to have an answer. I compared it to you needing a credit card to get into one of those porn sites, most people won't go in and keep looking for the free pics no matter how good the advertisement looks. 100% of the people I spoke to said they wouldn't have entered AW before knowing about it if they had to use a credit card. 3.2: A complete and utter disaster and if this is what AWC is claiming we need to pay more for I can see now why people are upset. I had nothing but problems with it from the get go and it hasn't stopped since. Even one of the so called new objects a ctable1 & 2 they offered up to us as some kind of resolution to all this when I put it near a wall the glass top made it so I could see right thru my wall all the way down to the color of the backdrop. Masked objects and transparent objects are a builders nightmare now. I don't think we ever had that problem in 3.1. Lighting is splotchy at best and makes zbuffering even on overlaped textures now prominent when there was no zbuffer before when the textures were aligned properly and brightness simply means I want to turn every untextured object in the area white. Speaking of white any objects that were not texture mapped when they were made also now have a problem, for example the chess pieces we all loved to use in our builds can no longer be textured in gold for example because the object simply turns white. The glass objects with the black border and the doorway objects with the black border, same problem turns white. New Pricing Scheme: Couldn't have named it better actually since one of it's deffinitions is a secret plan or plot, a plot deffinitely one thikening quite well but is going to cost AW alot of money in the long run from what I see. So in conclusion, I don't understand the way AWC does things, seems to be one stupid mistake or idea after the other with absolutely no planning whatsoever. The Sims another major online 3D service which is free btw when you buy the software and add-ons in the store atleast has a marketable product and if they put objects or textures with the same names on them people would most likely try to return it saying it is worthless when all the files are named the same. See you all think that because AWC gives you something you haven't paid for it, quite contrary if you look at it from The Sims perspective, we have paid for it, many years of it for some and paid for it when we buy a world too. It has been paid for, problem is what we are getting from AWC is pure crap now. Not worth the packaging it comes in. Paying to get in to see the fine builds we have with a credit card is like trying to get more porno from one of the many porn sites with a credit card now. But who is going to give out their credit card for something like this, no one. And if 3.2 is any indication of what's to come I don't want to pay those programmers saleries because for me 3.2 has been a complete nightmare and still is and no one has offered any solutions to the many problems I have stated. So for me I will be renewing my world and changing over to this account perhaps and as far as my many builds in AW, ohwell I guess I build some more to replace them but I will not spend $114 dollars a year for something that doesn't even work right and increase the salaries of programmers that messed up a good thing when we had it with 3.1. I can goto the store tomorrow and spend $114 on The Sims and 1 add-on and then use it free forever. What makes AWC think they have something better to offer here that you can't get anywhere else for the same money and not have to pay again? Well all I can say is the people running this circus act are a bunch of clowns to think people are so gullible. And I am personally insulted that AWC has stooped to such a low. That's all I have to say now, and I believe everything I have said to be true. Later, Chucks Party :) |
