i was thinking about that too.. heh...maybe they can set it up so that it
doesn't work for ppl on PPWs only the true cit# of the ct.. they could
probably do citnum command on enter then see if that person's cit# shows up
as the ct one or not.. and if not-not allow enterance...

Back in the long, long ago (like aw v0.39 for example) you could hold
control and alt to run way, way fast.. i think they should allow this again
for going long distances without having to teleport...but maybe they can't
cuz when a person does alt the browser thinks of the menu that wasn't there
back in 0.39

yeah.. i think it's dumb too.. none of it is even saved on their computer..
i could see it costing more if they hosted the world, because it uses more
bandwidth, and if a lot is used it will eventually need to be increased
connection, which can be expensive.. but it doesn't... all they have to do
is enter it into the universe menu and click ok. then send the info via
e-mail.. i could see maybe it costing some money to make it more rare and
therefore "special" if you own a world..but seriously.. why does it cost us
so much when it costs them nothing?

you can change the brightness (distance) of the light source.. i see what
