plus, anyway, with stoning, atleast you don't get to the point of so
drunk(well, stoned :) ) you wake up the next day with no idea how you got
into that strange room, unable to find your new sweater, missing your cell
phone, and finding out you asked some girl to marry you. :)
More control most of the time atleast.

ya, I don't get that, people get turned on by having virtual "sex", or, in
actuality, watching 2, virtual characters, have sex? strange that. I mean,
I'll admit, some of the female avatars there look kinda realistic, and would
be hot, but they sure as hell don't turn me on O_O.
But ya, if people have a problem with having Gors/virtual fornicators then
they just need not mix with them, and if thats a problem for them, then
screw them, they can either live with it, or leave. People need not change
because of other people, especially if they do it in private.

hmm, with the replys of you and talisan, i'm starting to think maybe
changing the video options to display almost everything at full
detail/whatever might have been the problem.
but ya, SL has some nice features, just, i'm more interested in using AW for
modeling then trading/selling or meeting people, so guess thats mostly why
SL doesn't appeal to me much.

ya, but in AW, i can make things in 3DS Max, and then put them into AW, and
walk around, in SL, would have to make things in it, and that would just
piss me off. no accuracy in it from what i remember, atleast not without
being extremely confused.
AW, in my opinion, is great for looking at things you've made, and thats why
i use it :)
i mean, no way are SL going to be able to make a modeler any better then 3DS
Max, or Maya, or whatever one uses.

Good in theory, but thats not how business works. if the price is dropped,
most the citizens will not buy a world, because i'm guessing most of them
would not think it's worth it, instead, they would just be saving money,
which AW could have had instead.
And the ones that do own worlds, i'm guessing only a very few of them would
upgrade simple because cits are cheaper. at $10/user, i don't think $50 in
saving would pursuade them much.
And so, to make up for the lost profit, they would need 3 and a half times
as many users, just to be taking in as much money. But more money, also
means higher running costs, and as unlikely as that many new users joining
is, they would still be loosing money if they put the cits back at $20s and
got 3.5 times as many cits.
I think AW is fine the way it is now, they just need to advertise more. they
need something creative, apparently, they tried it before and it wasn't
worth the cost, so maybe they need to try something diffrent this time
around? especially after the 4.1 upgrade, things should become more
interesting.
And hey, they're hiring now, that has to be a good thing?
