I think I agree with some of what you said ^_^ Believe it or not, it is now
with 3.4, more than ever, possible to create stunning landscapes and
environments. All you need is to know how to put the stuff together
correctly, and have the correct objects. Look at Lady Murasaki's work (I
know there are others who design stunning sets, though she is the only one
I've worked with first hand) - it's incredible and in many cases, very
realistic to the point where people have not been able to tell that they are
in active worlds (by focusing on the environment alone :P browser aside).

In terms of the stuff at the memorial site for th Columbia... that incident
was not unique in AWTeen. We have been having a problem with a specific
citizen posting that same pornography... I saw the very same citizen,
posing as a tourist... posting the very same pornography. Considering it all
happened in such a small time frame, its logical to think it was the same
person.. ie a citizen posting both under their cit, and as a tourist.
Most tourists who are serious about the program, are good people that show a
true interest in learning the browser, and learning about the community.
Tourists as a whole aren't bad - I would say its the citizens that enjoy
posing AS tourists, that are the main problem.

I purposely didn't give the name for...well... the reasons stated by Goober.
The only people that need to know the persons name is AWI =) Otherwise, the
problem is being taken care of in AWTeen... and if AWI takes care of it,
well that's good enough. Giving people a good moral bashing in the public
spot light doesn't usually affect people in the way you want it to. Often
the person gains more self esteem through the trouble they cause, because it
gets recognized... no matter how good or bad the recognition is.

Hi :) This is a cool looking place, but it's important to note that it is by

the game. You are able to interact with many aspects of the world, from
using doors and control panels to firing large turreted weapons. You can
obtain items, experience points, and money much like any RPG. Many
structures can be damaged or destroyed entirely by the weapons you will
encounter.

also have 'material' types, such as "Plasti-Glass", wood, "enhanced" wood,
"DuraGlass", stone, metal, micro-reinforce steel, and energy. Usable turrets
(also called "drivables") are like bunkers -- they provide a defensive
position for a player in which the player fires with the weapon that the
drivable is configured to have; up to four players can occupy a single
drivable, depending on that drivable's configuration. Contributing to the
realism of the game, Proxima's game engine also features falling and
drowning damage. Falling damage is based on the distance you fall (in
meters) times two. Drowning damage is calculated like this: (20 * (([your

Greetings everyone :)
On October 11th, at around 11:00 PM VRT, AWRPG will be reopened after being
closed for a few hours to release the expanded version of the world. Before
hand at 6:00 PM VRT, there will be an in character event which will in
effect "usher in" the changes that take place in the world for the expansion
itself.
Just a bit of information on the expansion... =) Currently the world reaches
out to about 100 coordinates of used space, in each direction (N,S,E,W) -
once the expanded version of the world is opened, the world will reach to
250 coordinates in each direction. In th is new area are 6 new "epic" quests
(quests that were not designed to be completed quickly, easily), all new
terrain to enhance the world (in the past most of the terrain work was done
by hand, so in this version we've made the new areas include bot done
terrain). On top of all of that, we will be releasing new spells, weapons,
armor, and shields for player use. We will also be opening up new "hunting"
grounds where players can fight various types of monsters in order to
further certain skills.
Basically, the expansion itself is going to be incredibly large, considering
the amount of physical things which have been added to the world, as well as
the storyline that has been expanded upon.
Anyway, you are all invited to attend the kick off of the expansion on
October 11th, either at 6pm VRT (the in character event) or at 11pm VRT,
when the world re-opens. For more information on AWRPG itself, check out
these two sites: www.remmiz.com/awrpg/awrpg1 and http://eclipse.disaxiom.net
As a general note - I know that in the past while people have explored the
world, there have been problems with the bot lagging - sometimes not :) This
for the most part is cleared up, because of the new server that all of the
bots are running on (they were previously running on Magine's computer).
Thanks for listening, and I hope to see ya around :)

The part about being new to AWRPG and being completely behind... is just
absolutely not true :) We get newcomers who learn very quickly, and again,
quickly become an integral part of the world dynamic.. All it takes is an
effort to learn the story, and the way the world works - just like anything.
There is no AWRPG3. There is an AWRPG2 for testing purposes only, because
the things we've added are not things we can test in the current AWRPG
without disrupting game play.

The whole world isnt about fighting :) Generally, the people who are going
to be eager to fight, are probably the people who know theyre going to win,
heh. But hey, thats what training is for, right? Well, at least people train
in groups, in order to get better... if that made any sense..

Just a bit of an update on some of the things we're including in this
expansion :)
We are a dding approximately 26 new spells, making over 40 different spells
one can obtain in the lands. As a result of the expansion, we will also have
around 50 different weapons that people can use.
Cheers :)

Greetings once again, everyone!
Tomorrow we will be holding the In character event, to usher in the new
expansion to AWRPG. The event will take place at 6pm VRT - all are invited
to attend.
The world will close down for a few hours to import the new additions, and
will re-open around 11pm VRT :) Hope to see you all around! It should be a
blast =)

It's comments like this that dont help the current situation of the
community. Period. Was some of the staff of AWI not with everyone as the new
3d homepage opened? Has ENZO not been taking the time to respond to our
posts as of late? Im not sure what more you expect.... daily breakfast and
coffee with the staff? 0.o

I wasn't refering to the actual rant by Comit :) In fact, I enjoyed the rant
quite a bit. I was refering to Brock's comment. Saying things like "AWI
Sucks, Bad management..." isn't helpful to the community.

AWI never really promised anything to private world owners :) So why should
private world owners be frustrated? Im confused... If someone had such an
idea that they wanted supported by AWI, they can contact them, right?
