Greetings AW Users,
Have you ever noticed how water8tr.rwx or wat5at00.rwx would inline
prefectly with a ceila1.rwx if only there were an object made their size? or
how about a water5tr object? The water objects have 'see through' underparts
which makes them unable to be used as adequate roof objects. Or how about in
the AW world, where many many builders inhabit if they had a nice round
ball-like object? or a wider array of cultural objects such as asian,
western, medieval etc. I am sure many experienced builders would agree with
me. I have also heard that objects for more advanced builders would make new
builders feel unimportant, why not have an object based leveling system, for
what level of building you think you would be at. Being that last year at
this time we added many new objects, I think AW should at least give its
fine builders some new objects for the AW world at least anually, based on a
common poll maybe? Give me some professional feedback people, I love AW, but
for building so much and paying so much, we should at least get an annual
poll based object addition?
-Love

Go do something constructive... like post in the right damned Newsgroup...

Ok folks, here's a quick lesson in posting in the NGs:

1. Don't post while drunk
2. Don't post while you have a dead rat shoved up your ass
3. Don't post unless you're actually planning to read the post your
replying to.

Now class, who can tell me which of these rules Strike Rapier broke with
this post? Anyone?

While you're thinking about that, allow me to offer Strike some advice:
Go do something constructive... like take some anger management
courses... She was simply looking for what everyone else thought about
the idea, hence asking the *community* about it. Besides, it has a
better chance of getting read by the boys upstairs here than it does
getting buried in the wishlist NG. :P

Yes, but the boys upstairs are too busy to read anything at the moment...
lol..

1) I wasnt drunk...
2) I havent noticed you up my ass?
3) I did, repeatedly.. then deducted the intent was to basically post and
get everyone to read whatever she says.

That's what many of AlphaWorld's builders wanted... New objects to be added
to AW's Object Path. But history has shown that a lot of these requests
have been ignored.

The only times I remember Objects were added to the AlphaWorld's was
possibly some time in 2000, when Just In and TechnoZeus made some objects
and submitted it to AWI. The second time, was after the pricing rises (2002
last year) , AWI dumped objects that was _Supposed_ to be destined for a new
Buildworld into AlphaWorld (Possibly as a knew jerk reaction to calm down
the masses enraged by the pricing increases) . As a result, complex and
detailed objects were dumped in with AlphaWorld's existing rudimentary
objects which IMO did not fit in at all well.

What can be done is we do what Just In and TechnoZeus did back in 2000,
gather / make a whole lot of objects together, review them for their
suitability and submit them to AWI asking if they will add these objects in
to AlphaWorld's object path.

I agree we are paying quite a bit of money for a citizenship... and I feel
the majority of AWI's build worlds alone are not really offering much in
return.

One point to remember when asking for new objects in AW:

1. Everyone at AWC has the ___tightest ass___ when it comes to doing
ANYTHING to Alphaworld. For what reason, I don't know!! >:-(

I for one would love to see regular* updates for AW, such as skyboxes,
objects etc.

Look for an upcoming AWNews article regarding some of these issues. :-D

*regular = not every 4 fucking years.

Well things that happens every 4th fucking year are regular also. Regualrity
do not mean it needs to happen often, just with a certain time interval. For
example; I clean my house regulary ( every second year).

And this coming from someone who can't even type properly. Right, *I'm*
the one that needs a life...

Maybe if you had actually *read* her post, you would have noticed that
she wasn't complaining, she was looking for feedback and trying to get a
sense of what the community felt about the issue. Last I checked, that's
what the NGs were for: Discussing a topic, not looking for every
opportunity to cry about someone who's actually trying to start a decent
conversation in here. Heaven forfend if that were to happen!

I've yet to notice ANY regular patterns in AWC's behavior towards AW Prime
(except the pattern that involves them NOT having any behavior towards AW
Prime).

Oh, and every 2nd/4th year? Where I come from, we call that a *rarity*, my
son. (Especially if it's house cleaning... ;-P )

lol, so because i make a couple of typos, i need a life? lol, that just
shows how pathetic u really are, basing everything on the internet. no, the
reason you need a life is because your a nerd who has no friends, and has
probably not been out since... well ever!

and, this isnt the place for posts asking people for feedback either.
as for "that's what the NGs were for: Discussing a topic" well, you're
right about that, but maybe you are forgetting that there are groups, and
each post belongs in a specific group, you cant just put everything in the
community one!

It pissed me off that we're paying much much more money for AW and still not
getting updates for Alphaworld. Or even the browser itself for that matter.
Hasn't it been 13 months now since the last browser update? It use to be 6
months -_- And what ever happened to their plan to break up browser
releases by a feature by feature semi-monthly updates? =\

Needless to say, it got scrapped after they kept coming up with "one
more feature" they had to put in... :P

[View Quote] Ugh... *downloads 130 posts from the last 2 days*

Yup, I will agree with you on that one, that's why I eventually made the
move to AWTeen. I was losing interest mucking around in a world that
didn't seem to be progressing. Then 2002 comes around and we are slapped
with a huge pricing increase and very little in return for paying a higher
price, by moving to AWTeen at least I was able to use many of AW's browsers
features that weren't available in other AWI worlds. Practically if you are
_just_ a citizen who doesn't own a world of any sort, you are relying on
AWI's public build worlds.


Anyway, it looks like I've got another problem to deal with now [Mostly a
rehash of what I said at awnews.org] ...

Many of my AW friends that I make don't seem to stick around at all long and
my Time Zone really doesn't help. Log in during my evening (NZ) time zone
and you will see only 100-150 people online, and most are locked in their
own little worlds. AW prime's GZ is DEAD and you only have the [games bot]
for company.

If there isn't the people, it's just isn't fun anymore, as a result I've
noticed that I'm now only logging into my account on average, every 5-7 days
and often when I do log in, I immediately go urghhhh, and log off knowing
that there is very little chance of meeting up with anyone except tourists
(that seem to only possess a vocabulary of 4 letter words) at the AWGate
running around handing out insults.

It's beginning to feel like you are building on a standalone application
disconnected from the Internet and I've also noticed that I spend much more
time in these Newsgroups and other AW related forums than in the AW program
itself.

Anyway, I've decided that I will let my citizenship lapse later on this
year, with the intention of picking it up again at a later date, (provided
_If_AW's development _Ever_ actually picks up and the online population
grows again that is). Although I have a 1 year extension still up my
sleeve, I've decided not to use it yet as there is really no point if I
don't log in much anymore.

Jan 28, 2003, 10:40pm

You can pop to the sw city forums if you wanna find some people in your time
zone. The community is straight from australian to scottland ;D

Too bad there's not many english speaking countries betwen AU and SL though
=P
