Hi Folks :)

I'm proud to announce that AWLife is now offering its initial FTP and Object
path hosting through our servers. The initial plan we're offering is 200 MBs
for $20/month, on a month to month basis, with no setup fee.

Please check out http://www.awlife.net/content/view/111/42/ for more
information on the package itself.

Cheers,

Hi there :)

I understand that in comparison to some of the larger domain hosting
companies, such as godaddy.com, our hosting for an object path may be
considered high. However, in comparison to companies within AW, and even to
AWI itself, our prices are affordable. Why? When signing up for hosting with
a company that works directly out of the AW software, you gain a level of
expertice that is not found through a major hosting company (in fact, many
hosting companies don't allow you through their usage policies to host major
file directories such as Object Paths). For incredibly advanced users, it
probably is more cost effective to register your own domain and gain GBs
worth of hosting space (which I definitely cannot compete with) - but for
the standard user that is going to want help along the way, which we most
definitely offer, we are more than reasonable. :) AWLife strives to be a
company that is flexible with the user base, and to be frankly honest, if a
user felt they needed more space, or felt that our prices were too high, but
most definitely wanted to host with us, we would be more than willing to
find a work around, and work out a deal.

Hope this helps. My intention is not to swindle anyone out of anything - or
discourage people from going with cheaper hosting plans - I am simply
letting people know what we offer now.

Cheers,

Poseidon

Greetings!

We are quickly approaching November, and appropriately, it is time to put it
out there that I am now accepting submissions for the November Edition :) If
you have an artists tip, world highlight, or just general news about your
community, city, world, galaxy, or universe - send it my way, and have it
featured inside of the AWLife Newsletter.

As time goes on, more universes are becoming involved in the submissions
process, and as a result the readership expands with every issue. This is a
great opportunity to highlight either an event, or a community, and show the
rest of us what's going on. So take it, and submit some news on YOUR
community. :) All submissions should be sent to: newsletter at awlife.net on or
before November 1st. I'll be sure to post a second reminder once we get a
bit closer.

Cheers!

Greetings All -

Its been quite the crazy past two months for me (and for everyone else, I'm
sure) and as a result, the December edition of the AWLife Newsletter never
made it to publication. I do apologize about that. However, this monday I
*will* be releasing the January edition of the newsletter, and would like to
extend the deadline for submissions to sunday evening. If you have anything
you'd like to hammer out, just send it my way once it's done and alls well
:)

I hope everyone is having a fantastic new year - may it be a safe and
prosperous one for all of you.

Thanks,

Poseidon

I think that some of your points are valid, while others don't hold any
merit because you've taken things out of context.

This environment was designed FOR teens, not for middle aged adults - That's
how it goes... As a result, everything in that environment is "aimed" at the
teenage crowd. Period.

I think the reason we've been informed as to the existance of this universe,
and been allowed to enter it freely is in part because it is somewhat of a
preview of what will be offered. Obviously, theres no public building or
complete customization of the environment, but to slam THIS project because
there isn't that flexibility, isn't fair. It's a custom project, aimed
exactly at what the client wants - not what the Active Worlds community
wants (thank god for that!).

I agree with some of your points but I think to bash the environment based
on a scaled of 1 - Active Worlds, is pointless, off base, and a waste of
time.

First off, lots and lots and lots of assumptions on your end, Starax.

I would probably quit AW altogether if Linden Labs took over the AW client.
Why? Because I have heard horror stories about that company :)

The AWGate is a cool world. I visited Tao, and no offense, but the graphic
appeal of the gate far out does that of the private world.

I have personally found that the second life browser is far more clunky and
obtrusive when it comes to moving in the environment than the AW environment
itself. I would consider it an incredibly sad day if we were to lose AW to
Second Life. The only thing Ive ever really wished for was a more attractive
GUI.

Good news!.... It seems people have rapidly booked and signed up for hotel
rooms, to the point that our original booking of 15 rooms was under shot -
All 15 rooms (and more!) have been booked.

As a result if you call up, and ask for the AWReunion/AWRadio group block
rate, you may be told that this block is currently full. If the staff tells
you this, inform them that our committee was notified that the block could
be easily extended and booked as necessary.

In the mean time, we will be in contact with the Doubletree as soon as
possible to extend the block ourselves so that no one calling gets this
message... Looks like the reunion is going to be quite large! Lets go AW!
;-D

Woops, didn't mean for that to come across in the wrong way. I simply ment
that when registering the hotel rooms you have your options of occupancy :)

We don't know what occupancy those rooms are. At the moment there are 22
people registered to attend, but we have the sneaking suspicion people have
reserved rooms but not registered online ;) There is the potential of
doubling up if need be, but it shouldn't be a problem to reserve a room
period.

SWE,

The main flaw in the argument that Active Worlds Incorporated "Sold out" by
taking the Wells Fargo project is that much of the pivotal and foundation
work for AW v. 4.1 was done before Wells Fargo even came onto the scene.

There's probably more that I could argue, but there's not much of a point,
seeing as how the rest of the argument above has gone...

Cheers,
