Merry Christmas (Community)
Merry Christmas // Communityjetta lewisDec 22, 2003, 10:14pm
Hi, and I would like to say Merry Christmas to everyone (no offence to
non-Christians). The last several years in AW have been interesting and I'm looking forward to the next 6 years. The changes from no personal worlds and only one ave to present day AW is astounding. I have been hearing ITS THE END OF AW since AlphaWorld days and AW just seems to keep going on and on :o) The one thing I have observed over the years has been that no matter what 'geewiz' improvement or set of objects presented, it all in a very short period of time, becomes ho-hum. The only constant thus far has been the sense of community and friends. America was one of the first personal worlds to offer open building and still does to this day. Ofcourse one can build what they wish in America, but we offer some theme builds also. Those themes being Skyscraper City, Ancient Rome, Egypt, and coming very shortly will be Small Town, USA. (From about 1890 thru 1915). America is, at this time, the largest private world on the internet and offers one of the largest varietys of building objects. I can assure you that in one form or the other America will run as long as AW is in existence. In addition I am turning the NF galaxy into an ancient builds galaxy that will focus on Rome, circa 100bc thru 300ad. Lady Murasaki has supplied the bulk of the objects, so that will give you an idea of the quality of the building materials. I think you will be surprised at how close we will be able to come to giving one a sense of walking the streets of Ancient Rome. At the present there are enough objects to recreate Pompeii as ruins or as it was 79BC and more objects coming shortly. Oh well, I just ramble on and on. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. the ladyDec 23, 2003, 12:37am

LOL, Hi Guys n-gal. So nice to hear from you..I'm really pumped up about the
ancient Rome site coming up. Mauz, some of those Rome sites you saw in America are test builds for shape and general layout for the upcoming galaxy..The copy of Theatrum Pompey was an exact size copy of the rl build. (or as close as possible.) The auditorium part was done with the standard aw 45 degree angle steps, but included in the new objects will be 30 degree angle marble seats. That type of stuff will hopefully give authenticity to the builds. If you could only see the vr builds on the net that are supposed to represent ancient Rome you would just shake your head. Those scientists are good at figuring out how the old buildings looked, but they cant build for beans. BINARY BUD It is so good to see you. You have no idea how much I respect and appreciate your efforts toward AW..I use your bot nearly every day and only wish the other bot creators would take a page from your book and make their programs as easy to use...:o) Don't be a stranger, come visit. Ive been keeping up with the NG lately and will probably post a little bit now...:o) Its been 3 or 4 years since my last post. I saw where there was a recent flareup in here and after interviewing one prospective American Host last week I told Ciena that if that person every figures out how to post in the NG S HE? will definately make a splash.

Dear Community,
I would just like to take this moment to wish all of ActiveWorlds a happy and health Holiday Season. May you all enjoy your time together with family and friends. Also we hope you will be ready, because January 1, 2004 is a good day for two reasons. First of all, it is the new year. Secondly, it is the premiere date for IceFlare Digital Entertainment. So we hope you are all excited about this new venture. Sincerely, Brock & IceFlare Starbeam Network Members/Staff |
