I agree with u. Out of the 24 open worlds starting with the letters W, X, Y
and Z, I only saw maybe 3 worlds that had anything in it other than junk,
or just a GZ or little black triangles. Not fun world hopping when thats all
there is to see. Ppl just dont seem to take pride in their worlds anymore
probably because no one goes to see them. I guess if most of what u see in
most worlds is crap no one wants to world hop anymore. As far as I'm
concerned there is only a hand full of worlds worth looking at. Maybe 2
handfulls but thats a small amount out of 400+ open worlds here and about 58
of those r X rated. Some worlds only have a piece of road in it thats been
there for a few years. People might take more pride if the worlds were open
to tourists and getting visitors. I have 1 world tourist enabled and it gets
10 to 14 visitors a day and my other ones get maybe 2 a day.

I think the reason they don't upgrade alphaworld is because they want
everyone to buy their own world that they can use all the latest features
in.

Ya i think a new gz somewhere else is a great idea. Actually I am thinking
of moving Americas gz to the different themed areas maybe once a month or
maybe 4 times a year. With a sign were they can click to the regular gz and
teleports.

Thats why I only deal with proven reputable modelers. I rather pay more for
an object that is done by the best modelers. You never know what u r getting
from unknown modelers. You dont want a model thats gonna freeze up your
puter either. And the modelers I use make great objects with low verts.

Personally that word doesn't bother me a bit and I am american. But if thats
the rule at the gate then whats the problem just not using that word? I'm
sure there are other words in your vocabulary u can use instead. Just abide
by the rules and don't make waves.. ...Simple as that :) And if its not a
bad word to u, remember there are others that may be offended. It's really
not hard to repect other people. It's just takes some common curtesy.

I agree with u ladyM. It is still the best. I have been to 7 different unis
just recently and theres hardly anyone in any of them at one time. I think
everyone should stop whining and sniveling about aw and just wait and see
all the cool things we will have, And yes it is for this uni too. I dont
like the prices we have to pay either but i quit whining about that a couple
years ago. I still enjoy aw a lot. The way I look at it is stop complaining
and enjoy what there is or go do something else with your time. Maybe u can
pray for God to grant you the serenity
to accept the things u cannot change;
courage to change the things u can; (whining isn't the way)
and wisdom to know the difference.

I dont think so. You can't do anything there but chat. You can't build.
Besides AW is still the best uni. sure ppl will flock for now because it is

I personally don't care what anyones sexual orientation is but u must know
that the majority of people aren't that accepting of it. I however realize
that it is not a choice but a genetic anomally that makes u that way. No one
would choose to be something that would cause such emotional pain to
themselves because of what others think about it. What he said was not a
nice thing to say, but u gotta know that most people feel that way about it
and it's a hard thing for them to deal with. It's not really something u can
debate and not get those reactions. The majority of the world is just not
ready to accept that way of life. But Daniel is a nice kid and i love him
dearly and I would wash his mouth out with soap. I wish u well and happiness
with your way of life :)
