I dunno...in its current state i'd have to say 50 - 60 or so.

AW Mapper Concerns

Feb 22, 2004, 12:52pm

From the AW Mapper website (http://mapper.activeworlds.com):

Mapper News:

20 November 2003 - Bad news, campers! Looks like AWCI won't be able to clean
up the disk and get a snapshot to us before January. We'll keep you posted
if anything changes, but basically, the ball's in their court; there's
nothing we can do about it.

6 November 2003 - We have requested a new propdump and will fire up the
November update as soon as we get it (and some more disk space).

---

Well, it's happening again. Mapper never updated for almost a whole year
(August 2002 to July 2003) and it looks like that is going to happen again.
Can't AWI just take an hour or two (if it takes that long) and send Greg and
Pieter the property file? ;_;
The Mapper update is something that people who build in Alphaworld look
forward to and when AWI puts things off like this and doesn't seem care
about it, it shows that they really don't really seem to care about us. >_<

Note: also sent to support at activeworlds.com (technical support).

Suck it up, they didn't put full detail on the Jenna Avatar so there is
nothing to complain about. I'm sure you all played with your Barbie dolls
when you were little and didn't complain that you could see her crotch when
you put new clothes on her. :P

I remember this as well but the old brick texture was so pixellated and
crappy looking. They replaced them with new high-res textures for the
high-res CD, I think.

Upon further examination of the "controvertial" flying Jenna, I realized
that there is absolutely nothing to take offence to. This is because when
you look up Jenna' skirt, there is...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! It seem's Jenna's
legs are powered by ghostly forces since they are not even attached to any
body-type structure. Not only can I see up Jenna's skirt, I can see damn
near see what's sitting in her stomach from this morning's breakfast. :P
