It'd be really nice to have a feature where you could load in different
Avatars.dat for different worlds using the same object path, because I find
it annoying that my world is a futuristic underwater city type thing, but
the avatars list has south park avs and xwings, and there's no way I can
force people to fit in with the theme heh... I don't think it'd take that
much work to do either....

Did anyone else notice that whenever someone teleports to a different part
in a world, they don't teleport, they just warp but REALLY REALLY fast...
heh, it might be sorta nice if they faded out when teleporting, it looks
really messed up when a world has a teleporter thingy...

Jul 29, 2002, 9:57pm

Yeah, thats why they should make it so when you teleport it teleports you,
despite the distance...

But doesn't it get annoying how the bot sometimes lags when you click a
button and nothing happens till a few seconds afterwards? Then, when people
notice nothing's happening they click the button faster which makes the bot
lag even more for people who are trying to use a different button..... heh,
I'm telling this out of personal experience

Eh, you're probably right... But it would be nice to have an activate thing
so noone would have to waste a precious bot slot on a bot that just makes
stuff move...

Um... I wasn't necessarily talking about VB heh... I was saying that bots
like prestons and xelagots and other sorts of bots like those lag... Sorry
for causing this whole mess :\

Didn't AWI say that they were going to do smaller, more frequent updates?
I'm not impatient for them to hurry up with beta, but, I think its going to
loose a lot of customers if they do it with longer waits in between...

And didn't they say that working water is going to be in 3.5?

Hi um... I don't know if anyone ever noticed this before (you probably did)
but whenever someone changes the world attributes, right before the changes
take effect, the whole place where the gestures are blinks. This is REALLY
annoying for people who are making a bot that changes attributes in a world
really often (such as a bot that changes time)

Thanks

Over the past few months I've noticed that lots of people were letting their
cits expire and don't care for AW... and I do mean a LOT... I can name at
least 12 people off the top of my head, not including those that are on the
AWteen NGs...

Anyone think they know why this is happening? I don't use AW so much anymore
but I do check on the NGs to see whats happening...

Oct 30, 2002, 12:12pm

Notice how the beta newsgroups is getting at least twice as many posts as
all the other newsgroups combined (on good days)...

Oct 30, 2002, 6:56pm

Its not even the fact that the beta has a lot of bugs, its the fact that
there are some people on the beta team that aren't even sure how to teleport
(no offense to anyone)

team? (assuming that its even a trial cit)

SORRY to SEE that YOU are LEAVING, i HOPE that YOU reconsider!!

Seriously though... maybe you should um instead of throwing a fit on the
newsgroups, email a complaint to AW....

And maybe you shouldn't let just one person ruin your VR life...

Nov 25, 2002, 9:26pm

no offense to AW, but I don't really think it was too wise of them to let
everyone that emailed them into the beta heh... didn't the question that was
something like "why do you want to be a beta tester" say something about the
personality?

my citizenship expires tommorow...

and I'm not sad about it either.

if you think about it, what exactly IS activeworlds?

a chatroom. just a chatroom where you can create your own things. I sort of
feel really depressed after looking back at it... after a tough day of
classes what did I look forward to? talking to other people I don't know and
playing with intangible objects. To think that I actually dreamed of making
a game on it! I thought a bump ride that bumped you back and forth was fun,
and got shivers down my spine while walking down a haunted house that looked
like it was carved with a mallet.

what will I say to my children when they ask me what I was like when I was
their age? "oh, daddy liked to make pretty houses and pretend he liked
exploring things that could move up and down and make noises too!"

looking back at that period of my life makes me so angry at myself! not only
was the program itself extremely limited, but lets take a look at the
community. on the newsgroup, most of the arguments have to do with spelling
and grammatical errors. those that don't are usually jibberish or a plea for
attention.

and even worse than that, what the hell was I smoking when I thought of my
name for gods sake!? was I that intoxicated by the alluring satisfaction of
creating my ideal city? was it a comeback for all the 1337H4XX0R names that
noone could spell right?!

look at yourselves, people. really, just look atyourself. why are you using
AW? do you want to be remembered for spending all your time on a chatroom? a
chatroom which promises a virtual life? is there something wrong with your
own life, that you'd want to spend all your time on something pretending
you're something that you're not?

for those of you who are sorry that I'm leaving:
don't be. be very happy that some of us saw the light and decided not to
waste his/her life.

yours truly
-William Killoran

PS- I don't mean to have offended anyone nor am I bashing AW... I just want
others to see the light as well... oh and if you made it this far I
congratulate you, didn't think anyone would bother to finish this. have a
nice day
