ok, maybe you havent been reading the whole post, before you go telling me
what to do, and critising me, for doing the same thing to goober, that he
was doing to eep. maybe you should think of why i was doing it? maybe i was
showing a point, showing him how it feels for people to just go guessing
things about you...

ya, but you still have to pay $70 to let them in, so whats the point of
letting tourists in, if you aint even gonna let them build? kinda silly isnt
it? you guys need to rethink the whole tourist thing. need to rethink
everything, cuz very soon you are gonna fail miserably, especially with the
release of second life, which even thou may not be that great, is better
then aw, and about the same price. only thing is you need broad band, but
most people have that anyway (i should be getting sat internet soon :) ).
well good luck with it all, better start saving your money, cuz your gonna
need it real soon. hell, start thinking up ideas for a new buissness.

emmm, you went completely out of context. i never said anything about the
price of tourist entrance being to high or anything, and i sure as hell
didnt call anyone a moron. what i said was that the whole "tourist build"
feature is more or less pointless, since if your gonna be paying $70 for
tourist access, and you have a public build world, you wouldnt exactly not
let tourists build now would you?

i agree, i dont even think what they did was legal, accually im pretty sure
it wasnt. all world owners can file a complaint if they want. since you only
have to follow the rules set out when you signed the contract, then both
parties are legally bound to it, and cannot change the contact unless there
is an agreement for the change between both parties (AW and world owner). so
i guess aw have to start giving out free tourist access for a while.

emm, the company is not allowed to have the right to change the policies
agreed upon in a contract, they can only change the contract when its time
for renewal, and the new polices are on the renewal page, other wise, the
polices do not effect you.

but they arent allowed to have it! not sure how it works in america, but
there is a law stating that you cannot take away any rights of the consumer.
and, not having the contract changed is pretty much a right.
