I think what's most needed is someone good at solving riddles and who knows
SQL (MySQL to be precise) ;-)) Okay, I'll see what I can get done now,
hopefully I might be able to snap out of my lazyness long enough to work
some on it. Just hope I still got the database dumps.

They just picked an ancient celebration of the midwinter solstice for it,
that's the origin of the date. CarL, don't be so touchy, Facter bashed the

Well, considering that the SDK supposedly isn't out yet, that would be
kinda hard. It would require an RW3 update from Criterion, and it took them
a while to give us DX8, so don't keep your breath.

Jacob, this is NOT a chat room, it's not normal to reply to posts just to

That posting in HTML is wasting a bunch of space and bandwidth. What I
originally said was wrong, read my correction (the waste is much larger
than what I first wrote). Why use up to 300 times more bandwidth for a
message that isn't even interesting? Don't tell me that I could know it

I don't get what your post was about. If you have a problem with
somebody, deal it with them on a PERSONAL basis, that means mails,
telegrams, phone calls, letters, whatever, as long as it's between you
and the parties involved and nobody else. We don't care about any
personal conflicts out there, with a large community, such as the one
around AW and the AW-powered universes, there are bound to be a number of
personal conflicts. That's due to human nature, really. This newsgroup
has suffered enough from people dragging their conflicts into the public
arena, where it does not belong. Please do us all a favour, and never
post about this again. The community does NOT want yet another flamewar!

No offence meant.

Yes, this is the second time Yanst asks for the Gate to have that wall
removed... (s)he's just a McCarthy-ist (hmmm, I have the strange feeling of

Software particle systems have been around for years, and quite a few good
ones too. The graphics (wether they were conceptual or screenshots) you
provided a link to certainly don't warrant such advanced graphic cards, a
plain D3D supporting HAL should do fine. There are no indications of
framerates anywhere on those shots either, so this might be running at
0.1fps for all we know, or maybe it was rendered in 3D Studio Max. You
could achieve this (except particle effects and vehicles) in AW, even if it
might be slow on most systems, since AW isn't very well optimised... I sure
hope Shamus and 9 9 9 will work on improving performance after 3.4 is
released, even though I somehow doubt it.

I agree with your views on ecommerce, and the unrealistic businessmodel.
There are no successfull ecommerce ventures that have charged for access,
and I doubt this will catch on either. Just go look at !M at rt or whatever
the world's called, it's completely void of people and nothing's changed
for years. The bundling concept also failed in AW's case, and as you may
know, ended in a lawsuit.

There are some big-shot names on the investor list, some okay-looking
"screenshots", but nothing more. I doubt they'll achieve their 150k paying
user goal unless the earth's population increased dramatically (and
resources, riches, etc increased at the same rate, which is never going to
happen) within the next two years.

It looks like an okay program, and if they beat AW to the bush regarding
vehicles, performance (judging from those sys specs, that doesn't sound all
that likely, though) they might have some AW users "convert".

I doubt all speak English as well as they do French. I do know some French
Canadians that probably speak English better than French, but I'm sure
there are those who don't speak/write English too well. Some people
probably find it a lot easier to speak their second language than to write

Why? That you payed for a world doesn't mean you'll be helpfull on the beta
team. I think you've misunderstood the purpose of a beta. It's not some
sort of evil elitist plot to give some select few a preview of new
software, but a way for developers to become aware of, and fix, bugs before
releasing new software to the public. Just watch this newsgroup and send in
an application when they announce openings in the beta program. Whining and
insulting beta team members sure isn't going to get onto the beta.

This gives it all away. When they insist it's not detected by AV software,
