Hey Baro, have you checked your email lately? It isn't about this, but I
wrote you last night about something.

HAHA, come on people. How many times have we asked for news about the new
version, but what do we get? Silence.
Now that April Fools is upon us, somebody from AW decides to come in and
tell us when it won't be coming out?

"in a nut shell- all you do
is make realistic deadlines and keep your customers updated on the
progress."
Tell that to Adobe, would you? I was a beta tester for them for several
years and we heard very little from them about deadlines and such.
Apparently, letting the end-user in on deadlines and progress matters little
since Adobe is a corporate giant and keeping the users in the blind doesn't
seem to have hurt their business much.

I, too, would like to see some of the worlds that have apparently been
abandoned because of book keeping oversights and etc. (in other words, the
company never investigates small expenses to see if they are profitable
investments or not) shut down and free up the resources for the active world
builders to enjoy. Of course, for all we know, AWI donated the worlds to
these mega billion dollar companies (as if they couldn't afford to pay for
the worlds *rolls eyes*) hoping to attract new users and they just left them
running for some odd reason.
I would much rather go to a world that has active developers and citizens
making the world a nice place to visit than an old ghost world that hasn't
been developed for years.
Besides, I suspect the high world server prices are due to this *possible*
mismanagement of resources. However, I suppose as long as people will pay
the prices, AWI can charge what they think they need to.

That is SOOOO AWESOME!!! Thanks a bunches. I downloaded them all, even if
I never use some of them, they are always great to have around.
I know it would be alot of work, so I understand if nobody wants to do it,
but it would be great to have a screenshot, or at least a link to the AW
coords of an example with each Preset.
I'm surprised that nobody has put some presets up for sale on their objects
pages yet. It is great that so many people are so willing to share their
presets with the universe without charge.
