ActiveWorlds TravelAgency offers a free advertising service for AW users. AWTA members advertisements (jpg image) are displayed in
AWTA "offices" around AW worlds. AWTA staff will build an office into its members place. When users around the ActiveWorlds Universe
see an ad and click on it, they will be teleported directly inside the office in advertized place.
You can join through this link:

Happy Holidays !

Still maintaining that to join a world has to be an aw object based world?
I know a couple worlds that would probably like to join (including my own)
but unfortunaly we don't have any aw objects to build your little office
(but could easy provide something similar).

I can see wanting a standardised office, but having an aw travel angency
that will only link to worlds with alpha world objects is like a real life
travel angency that will only arrange trips to countries that use wood
timber and drywall countruction on their buildings. What about exciting
locals that people live in mud huts, or bamboo, or some space aged super
material far in advanced of primitive earth-man materials. That travel
angency would go out of business.

A travel agency in aw really needs to be able to service a world with any
kind of objects (with in obvious limits). All the most interesting worlds
in aw are free of alpha world objects (avatar, jade, Varna ect) , yet you
can't link to them simply because of your refusal to build an office that
isn't totaly standardised. Heck maybe you could do a much better job with
some of the other objects out there.

For example if linking to a world like jade, make a similar office with all
the exact same function and layout, but using japanes themed objects.
Would do the exact same job but also match the theme of the world.

So what do you say, you going to let those of us who have cast aside the
chains of alpha world objects to join the AWTA ?

I remember when we talked about the issue earlier this year. And, thanks to your comments, there is no need to have Alphaworld-based
objects in member-worlds anymore. Quote from AWTA rule #8: "All objects required for the office must be found in the world's object
path." -The necessary objects are basically object for displaying jpg-images (member ads and AWTA logo), object for diplaying text
(place name) and objects used as walls etc. where AWTA colors can be placed.
