I think it's outrageous, I don't even think a citizenship is worth $20,
brand new MMORPGs like Anarchy Online get trouble with their users just for
small problems and bugs, and AW is full of outdated 3D crap and bugs!

Yes it does mean that any "new" user coming into AW will be $114 per year.
<quoted from letter>
To say it in business terms, the cost to revenue ratio has grown
disproportionately over the last year. The costs of adding staff,
hardware and connectivity, along with a sagging economy have eaten
into our revenues, much like many other software companies.
Contracts we counted on have lapsed as companies have gone out of
business. While we firmly believe that markets for our product will
develop and grow, we are increasingly in a position where we have to
make very difficult decisions.
<end letter quote>
If the sagging economy is hurting a big business by eating into it's
revenues, multiplying the price by approximately 6 is not going to help. All
they will do is drive current and potential customers away. How will that
help them get capitol? I suspect a more fair and less expensive price hike
would serve the company and the community better. I would be willing to pay
$30 for my cit a year. Thats not too big a chunk out of a working class
joe's pocket.
You wanna cut down your costs for connectivity and bandwidth? Get rid of the
darn 3D homepages! They are sucking the universe dry.

very true, I believe you're quite old, Brant (18, 17?), which gives you the
advantage of being able to work legally, and get more money than younger
teens... I'm going to have to wait 5 months before I'm even old enough to
apply for the job as "paper boy", and if AW goes that expensive there's no
chance I can stay a cit... Been pondering about getting a world, and buying
more hardware, but on low teen wages you can't afford a lot if they're gonna
take $114 a year... I say someone write a good, proper letter (proofread and
everything), giving everyone the opportunity to write their name, citnum,
cit pass at the bottom, then print out and sign, before posting it with
snail mail to the AWC... that way they could really see that the cits can't
take this price-jump, and that they're serious about it...

accepting 3.3 and leaving to current AWC to die could be an option to save
AW... the AWC would go bust, and would be wanting to sell AW (especially if
Rick really means that he loves AW) off, and one could do the same thing as
COF did in 97, but learn of their mistakes... I'm sure staff like Roland
would accept to work for a new company as long as they get good wages.
Something to think about...

good time for them lol, but it's not very nice to do that against your users
(customers if you like, lets forget about the tourists, they're the AWC's
loss anyway), it's what gives companies bad reputation... large companies
who have a bit more business sense warn customers often months in advance
before increasing the charges... one of the things is that Rick isn't
qualifyed for being a CEO, looking at the AWC's own list and description of
directors he's an educated artist, but has no education in business... seems
like JP is an educated businessman, but he doesn't show it very well (no
offence)... looking at the jobs page it seems they are looking for someone
to help them do good business (VERY wise!)... if they do this I doubt very
much that they'll be able to go on for more than a year...

We alrwady have the world from AW on the price for existing citizens. Check
their FAQ at hppt://www.activeworlds.com/tech/faq.asp Read it carefully.
Question asked on the FAQ
"I have just renewed at $19.95 per year and my registration will not expire
until January of next year. Will I still have to pay the $9.50 per month?"
Answer to it, pay attention now
"No. Your registration is valid until January of next year. At that point
when it comes time to renew, you will need to pay the new rate of $9.50 per
month."
Sounds to me like AW already has the screws ready to turn on our thumbs.

For all of us who are renewing, we dont know it will be 9.50 a month. The

I feel sory for people like Comit, who have put so much work into AW and now
has to leave. All the rest of us can hope for is that our renewal prices

and the loss for the quarter was of half a million USD, which means they

They used to be at $7.00 when they started and brought it up to about $9.00.
I makes you want to wonder what they were doing to bring the stock up. Maybe
what they did they should try again. Also all stock has been low since.

you don't necesarily need to re-download, either make a local copy and add
the host/port info to the aworld.ini, or change it around before logging
on... here's how it works (in aworld.ini):
[universe]
host=unihost.dom
port=##
one thing, if you do it on only one installation, change the name of your
contacts.txt before entering, the browser deletes entries that don't
exist...

then they'll have to resort to cracking the uniserver (nobody's gonna be
there to tell them not to, and they'd go bankrupt to if they don't), and
they'd probably prosper more since the AW uni would be gone, and they
wouldn't have huuuuge lisence renewal fees every year...

they can't do no nothing about the cracked ones, the point of them is that
they don't go looking for lisences...

no, because AW is sort off crappy, slow, uses allready pretty much old
stuff... and there are alternatives, like Blaxxun, even one where worlds are
free and go on webpages (Adobe Atmosphere, even created by a competent
company!), Worlds (ok, so it's a bit crappy, but they still make loads of
money, in contrast to AW). AW is far from the best, even though it has been
around for 7 years... What they're doing is the cream of stupidity, and they
will go bankrupt :-)) wouldn't be hard to compete with them either, if you
know your way around 3D programming...

I've recently bought a new 3D accelerator, FYI... ok, I agree, Blaxxun isn't
as good as AW yet, but hey, look at their customers... IBM, Canal +, etc,
they're good at doing business, and it's good for being VRML and Java on a
webpage...
