Rate Active Worlds (the universe we are in now and the software we use) on a scale 1-100. (100 is best) // CommunitysyntaxNov 17, 2003, 12:24pm
I dunno...in its current state i'd have to say 50 - 60 or so.
Before it was 95 - 100 for me... (pre- January '03 [or whever the hell the prices were raised]) --- Syntax synny at swcity.net [View Quote] imagineNov 17, 2003, 3:43pm
It was 100 but because of the drastic price raise and the tourist fees I
will rate it at 20. I remember an Active worlds that was bustling with people who would call it a home away from home, for some an escape from what ever preasures that was going on in their R/Ls. Now, most of it's most interesting people have left and it's getting kind of dead in most of the worlds that tourists would go to and be oriented into the life of AW. Probably cause most of those worlds aren't open to tourists any more. Now AW is only for those who have good jobs and can afford the high prices. This leaves out a lot of teens. AW was a way to keep a lot of teens off the streets and out of trouble. A lot of teens can't afford the high prices and their parents wouldn't be able to afford them or just not want to pay them. Wonder how many teens and preteens came here since the price raises, found how high the prices were, and left. Wonder how many of them have gotten into trouble finding things to do off line when they could have been here creating and staying out of trouble. There are many other reasons I picked 20 as my answer but AWI dosn't really care about it's clients so this pole won't make much of a diference anyway.

Being that I'm one of AW's highest paying customers and one of Aw's largest
contributers who got nothing in return for my time and money spent here I rate the whole program a big fat 0. I'm not blind to what's going on here and I think AWI should start realising that I'm not some stupid 5 year old who doesn't know what's going on here with the favortism!! A lot of you may not agree with me or calll me a cry baby, but if it was your money and you knew what I knew you'd be a little upset as well. You all seem to be more intelligent than me (or so you claim), you figure it out. MrBruce [View Quote] bowen ten.sardna@newobNov 17, 2003, 7:11pm

*sigh* so many accusations! Why don't we all just simmer down, and then sit
back and have a nice jug of mind rot from the Kao'an Tavern! It will help us all relax :-) *chuckles and wonders who got the joke* J [View Quote] zeofatexNov 18, 2003, 1:01am

85% B - Overall (not an average)
Generally, AW is a good experience for me and I enjoy being a member of the community. :) 85% B - Customer Service Support and other email addresses sometimes do not reply :( 69% D - Pricing Value World prices are a bit too high, citizenship prices are a bit high but could be lowered to increase the size of the community ...pricing really negatively impacted the size of AW's community 91% A - Entertainment Value I enjoy coming on AW :) however a few more features could be added to make AW better 79% C - New Customer Relations AWGate & AWNewbie policies need to be improved, may discourage new tourists from registering ...deletion of tourist builds in AWNewbie at least needs to be removed to make a better impact on tourists' experience...citizens need to be discouraged from causing problems as they discourage tourists from registering 87% B - Software Development New features seem to be being added at an OK pace compared to other products I'm familiar with 100% A - Service Reliability AW has rarely gone off for me for more than a few minutes 80% B - Abuse Prevention new features like telegram blocking, etc. have made dealing with abuse much easier, however AW needs to take more steps in this area as many customers are disruptive often discouraging new customers to join 100% A - Professionalism AW staff have always been professional to me and AW's website is attractive and nice to look at 92% A - Technology AW is based on mid-1990s technology however is holding up well ..not as impressive as top-of-the-line games but very interactive..lots of neat features promised 100% A - Lasting Value I've been on AW for quite a while and have no plans to leave anytime soon ..as long as new features are being added, of course! :) There ya go ..my review of AW Ryan jstone2004Nov 18, 2003, 2:29am
I give it a 95% overall, I enjoy it, though it is a bit high priced, I've
never had too much of a problem getting the money over to them, I love the service, the graphics, the works :-) Good job, AWI! J [View Quote] sw comitNov 18, 2003, 6:37am
I'd give it a C. 70% or so. Graphics are good enough, and the servers
rarely come down. Takes hits in value, developement and PR. [View Quote] c pNov 18, 2003, 6:11pm
