im sure you've herd of the new "3d hompages" from AW whitch have spawned
about 300-400 trial worlds. Now tell me, they say these are 3d version of
homepages. Do normal hompepages expire in 30 days and disspear forever? no.
That's what we call incorrect advertising or whatver they call it, at least
thats what it is to me, just to get people to go into AW. Also if you type
in information for a cit that doesnt exist it will create a trial cit for
you too. I don't mind this but calling it 3D homepages is untrue.

I don't think there's any legal copyright or legal definition of a
"homepage". lol. It's not a scam, it's an advertisement ploy to grab newbies
to come in and be impressed. :) They are told it is a 30 day trial and so
forth so there's nothing wrong or illegal with it if that's what you're
implying. Hey, the guys want people to come into AW. Give them a restricted
trial world and a trial cit even and you got a growing consumer base. Smart
stuff. :)

Although, I can see where it could seem misleading with the "homepage" word.
But I think the basis of their thinking was not a "page" that is put on a
server that lasts close to forever, but rather a "page" in which you show
your personality and personal information on you. The ones prebubescant
girls always make on themselves with butterfly animation and pink floral
backgrounds. :)

Totally agree. I think its a good idea for gathering new custom. The term
"Trial World" is much less inviting.

The only thing that bugs me about this is that the world list is becoming
pretty pointless. Last time I looked there were 50 additional worlds in the
list called "aw3d#00" or something like that. So many worlds in one universe
is getting a bit silly now, I think. Since AW are clearly changing their
public image a little right now, time maybe for multiple universes and the
ability to switch between them within the browser. Just a thought.

Yeah... well... I'm just wondering if you can sign up for a trial world and
once that's expired, sign up for a 3d homepage.

yes i've gotten two already but when you type in new info for a cit that
doesnt exist it creates a trial cit for you

Just think, in 30 days, it will be back to the 400 worlds we know and love
with 50 or so constant trial worlds. lol. It's just excited energy taken out
on the poor Worlds list. :)
