Custom Monopoly Board

The way I interpret his message:
He wants to create an AW-themed board for a CD-Version of Monopoly :D

Roland tries very hard to implement features in new releases of AW. In fact, I find him to be the one that that actually interacts
with the community the most out of all of the AWCI members.

Anyway, if people need to crack the browser to do something, then I'm sure AWCI (or at least Roland) would want to implement it.
This way, people wouldn't need to crack the browser at all.

DON'T CRACK

Jul 19, 2000, 2:14pm

oh my :) I was simply replying to:
LOL, kinda ironic. Seeing the fact that so many people have to crack the
browser to enjoy themselves kinda gives AW a clue that what AW has to offer
is no good.

I agree that inter-universe teleport and communication are good things, and I would love to see them implemented along with the
mile-long (I'm sure) list of features everyone is pushing Roland to include. Hopefully, Roland will be able to hire one (or better,
two) more programmer(s) and we'll be able to have things done just that little bit faster.

EverQuest: 300,000 registered players - AW's future

I agree; If a few game-like features were added to the browser/SDK, it would make AW that little bit more able to compete with
others.

an inventory, and the ability to either shoot, hit, or simply TOUCH other people/things (not simply clicking them from long
distances)--http://tnlc.com/eep/aw/improve.html for more AW improvements, AW could become more attractive to gamers, especially
since I think AW is basically a multi-user level editor, and there aren't any such things that exist for any games that I know of
(and, believe me, I've been looking for years).

and 2D map editors, but no game developer has done a REAL-TIME, multi-user 3D level editor. THAT is what keeps AW unique from every
other wanna-be VR program out there, but AW just isn't gamelike enough to compete with true 3D game level editors.

E-commerce (stupid overhyped marketing buzzword) and distance learning education are fine SUB-designs, but there's no way AW will
become profitable from them. The gaming industry--and, specifically, 3D gaming industry--has already proven itself to be VERY
productive and popular; AW should learn and adapt accordingly.

Actually, I'm fairly sure they're interested in "e-commerce" right now... Could be wrong. I seriously doubt they are really
interested in selling educational products. They provide a 1/3 discount, I believe... and they have their own "Eduverse" -- That's

AW-inhabitants needed for scientific research

You know, Eep's page was (and IS) a great source for general AW information as well as Renderware scripting tips (not to mention
that keyword glossary thing). I doubt that you were even active in the newsgroups to even be affected by them being down, but Eep
felt he was justified in removing his page. So, in summary, don't be an idiot. I'd like to see you develop a great resource and NOT
do the same thing if you were in Eep's position.

That quoted statement seems to have a bit of a sacrcastic tone throughout it...

So, you "haven't actually read a whole Page anywhere on his Site", but for some reason you have a link to it on your website?
Strange...
Also, I have not seen a resource on Renderware as complete and as well done as Eep's. It could use a little bit of cleaning up here
and there, but that's not very important.

Uhh... I don't know of any other page on his site that contains considerable "whining and complaining" about AWCI other than the
history one.

I'm sure if you looked, you could find the information available on Eep's site elsewhere... Just like if you really wanted to, you

Person claiming they have a new "bot" for AW

Dec 3, 2000, 2:29am

Well, from all that I've heard, this is what is trying to be accomplished:
1) The "bot" is downloaded and run.
2) It opens your aworld.ini file according to a registry entry that has your AW directory in it.
3) The "bot" tries to find the AW window and then outputs a string with your encrypted password in it (this only works if you store your password).

If you take this password and use it with the proper citizen name, it's just like having someone's real account password.

PS - I've tried this out a couple of times and it only seems to work properly when in Alphaworld, not any other worlds.

AW got bribed? only a rumor

Doubtful. They are going to shut down their uniserver for about a week? ha....

Who is spreading this ridiculous rumor? Secondly, Alphaworld has always taken long to restore because of the reasons offered by AWCI.

PS - The biggest amount of people came to JunoDome when Juno started promoting it...
