During the speech (if there was ever one) by President Enzo at AW Festival
2004, he perhaps can talk about his vision of what AW should be and have in
next 10 years. The vision of next 10 years would be good to have. It's
almost like 10-year plan by a government (just comparing). However, it
doesn't have to be specific about what should be added or something like
that but more general about future. Perhaps vision will have several themes?
Worldbuilders, townbuilders, bot developers, gamers, builders (home,
business, etc not towns or worlds), and other major interest groups will
definitely be interested in President's vision for next 10 years. What do
you say we hear your vision at the Active Worlds' 10th birthday celebration,
Mr. President?

But even with bankruptry, I would bet the all rights to software such as
uniserver, browser, etc. and other assets would be sold to the highest
bidder. But regardless, I doubts the company would get bankrupt anyway. It
just take a patience for Active Worlds to get better.

Besides, next version of Active Worlds is starting to sound good. But so far
I haven't successfuly "discovers" the actual help pages for AW 4.0 so
unfortunately we will have to wait to see what is offered in next version
for us and we still don't know if it is 4.0 although our sources strongly
suggests the 4.0 as next version.

Also I've discovered that after entering
http://www.activeworlds.com/help/aw40/aw40.html in the address returns error
but if you types the part of that previously visited address, it will
automatically complete the address (normally if you get a "page doesn't
exist" error, it won't do that but this is an exception, oddly enough) so
that suggests the that 4.0 is possibly the next version.

I've already tried http://www.activeworlds.com/help/aw40/ and it returns
directory denied error which, in effect, strengthen my suspicons that 4.0 is
the next version.

I've also tried http://www.activeworlds.com/help/aw40/beta.html but it
failed to do what any of above urls did, which suggests that it is still in
alpha testing stages. However, I can't confirm all of this so don't take it
as confirmed information.

Such as---? All of the AWI worlds are still intact, such as The13th (The
13th Floor), Centro (Centropolis), Nettaxi, COFMeta (Metatropolis), ABC
(Simple Geometry), and other countless worlds. I don't recall where a world
simply vanishes with its objects. NewAW, maybe, but it's still closed, so
doesn't mean it's gone either, just merely a testing ground (at least
according to what I'm hearing from certain AWI officials in their posting in
newsgroup). So far, all worlds owned by AWI since 1999 has remained in
existence. Of course, that brings up another question: If objects are to be
transferred from another world to Alphaworld, then it may need polishing to
keep it up to date with latest version, since many worlds' object path are
pretty much full of outdated objects (perhaps exception for Mars but that's
only for new object added to it, not the old objects fixed up). Anyway, I
think that's all I can think of! LOL I'm just tired and having a hard time
sleeping. =P

Now I changed mind. I want pretty much almost everything in Roman theme in
Alphaworld. Make me want to have classical architecture along with fine arts
and also landscaping. Ok I admit I'm inflating my wishlists lol.

Roman Theme has what I like about:

Fine Arts (Painting, Vases, et cetera)
Furnitures (fancy ;D)
Landscaping objects such as bushes and flowers.
Classical architecture.
Etc.

It can't hurt to have a few objects from these collections, eh?

Hey, President Enzo (probably won't read this section anyway but hey let's
just give it a try, eh?)
Objects without privileges of world owners.... can't hurt business, since
most people like to own worlds and therefore their desires to own a world
cannot be deterred by object additions to the Alphaworld library. World
owning has addition That's the good reasoning, Mr. President. :)

How about Activeworlds Inc. adopt a cost-cutting measure? Have many useless
worlds such as X-Files1, X-Files2, Godzilla, and others shut down and
transfers most of usable objects from those worlds over to Alphaworld. That
way, you can cut costs and also gains many customers. I doubt many contracts
such as ones with Sony Corporation (for The13th), Centropolis (The13th,
Godzilla, and other worlds), and others are still in effect so I would bet
Activeworlds Inc. are free to do anything with these worlds. In other words,
the contracts probably expired so what's the use for these useless world
that eats up cashes in Activeworlds Inc.'s funds. It costs to power them,
costs per bandwidth, etc. But it shouldn't applies to public building
worlds, just to world where nobody visits for a long time and that it is
outdated in which it couldn't work well in new versions. Why do you think
Activeworlds Inc. still have three AW 3.1 test worlds running? It's
pointless. Apparently, Activeworlds Inc. has wasted so much money on
maintaining outdated, useless worlds. By useless, I also mean that it's not
open to public buildings either. So.... what do you say, Mr. President?
