i pay $20 a year for this crap and you're telling me not to complain? PFFT!

going back to 3.1 will not work for long, are you even aware that eventually 3.1 will not work in the AWCOM universe?

The global and permanent elimination of all tourists, I must agree, is but a mere dream. Would it forever change the face of the AW
community, if this dream were to become reality?

The features of AW 3.3 will further enhance the face of AW, as Roland and everybody else continues to say. But should the price of being
able to see these features be $2 a week?

Our choices appear to be either accept 3.3 as our final and last version, or face the new pricing model. The community of AW has always had
that third, invisible option: we can tell Rick (and co.) in our own words that he must consider the opinion of the community. It is believed
that the community is part of the decision in what goes on with AW. Can the company possibly consider our point of view? Perhaps some lurker
in the darkness is a marketing genious, and can think of a new and better pricing scheme for AW to keep their boat afloat and to keep the
community happy.

The new pricing model introduces several problems. Not all people have a credit card; if they wish to even see a triangle in AW they must
imput a credit card number and be confined to two weeks to enjoy that triangle and many more of 'em. It should also be considered that well
over half of the AW community are but only teenagers, whose parents are probably skeptical about the $19.95 a year they are paying for. Kids
who come from families who do not generate a whole lot of income (such as I) will find their visit to AW very short. It has been said that
current citizens will not be affected for the time being, but what about those tourists out there who have been ready for citizenship in so
long that they become discouraged by this pricing schematic and leave AW-- possibly to never return.

I have heard many better pricing schematics touring ground zeroes of popular worlds. Perhaps one of them will fit us all.

AlphaWorld is the birthplace of AW as it stands today. it too is the lifeblood of the AW universe. not too long ago, AW used to be
single-world yet still popular. AlphaWorld is vast, yet rich in history. it may eventually reach into the terabytes, but we should still
hang onto it.

The deletion of Alpha is the deletion of the universal backbone. Perhaps instead of completely shutting off Alpha, we could simply shut off
building access and leave alpha open as an official museum of history.

*stops and thinks*. Alpha is indeed in need of a GZ refit, but that does not mean you should simply shut down the entire world (and it's
1million objects) because of a horribly designed GZ. Do you go off closing other worlds because of their GZs?

>We want this software to continue and grow , both for AW's good and our own.

We all want to see AW continue its growth and development. Removing AlphaWorld, however, does not contribute to either growth nor
development. Taking alpha out is just like cutting down rainforests. It removes a natural habitat for some animal.. Alpha is the natural
habitat for hundreds of people. Just go in and stand around GZ. There is always some form of conversation.

We do need a new Alpha, but we should not delete the historical Alpha. As I mentioned above, Old Alpha could become closed to public
building and be preserved as a historical museum. New Alpha is just as it sounds: our new Alphaworld.
