I'm sure people have complained about it before, but it happend to ME, so
it's personal now!

Today I come into awgz and see some people talking about aw in general.
Someone mentions second life and how it just isn't the same as aw. To add
my feelings of happyness about aw in a public place, I happily write about
how I've seen 2nd life and there.com but neither offer anything close to
what I like about AW. Ah, customer satisfaction, word of mouth, good moral
boost for the company. Right? nope. I'm ejected. What??? I quick read
what I said. I didn't say 2nd life was shit, or there.com was fucking
boring. Why!! Why was I ejected!

Then I get a telegram from strike explaining what happened. uhgg...

Ok AWI, I can understand maybe you got a ton of tourists spamming "VISIT
THERE.COM!!!!" over and over or something ridiculous like that, and this
drastic step was needed to stop it. Either way, if that's the reason, the
spammers are gone and you're just hurting loyal customers. It seems
quite... deperate and oppressive. You'll lose more customers with this
tactic than you will from people talking about your competitors.

No need to ban them I never saw such a sh*** implementation in my life!
Imagine if AW needs an upgrade and the server responds it is busy serving other applicants and you have to retry it and retry it and ... again :)

It is a joke so far.
Well, the saga continues (after the 10th of the file failed to load):

"Are you sure you have read the EULA? You seem to have clicked the "I accept" button a bit fast." ROTFLMAO

And I am still waiting for the approval.

Good luck to anyone who wants to try it!

Unfortunately though, OSMP isn't very mature yet. And it hasn't seen any
major activity since August 2004.

Well, I was looking around the PE site or whatever, and came across this:

The ASTEROID SPACE RESORT was today, 24th of October 2005, bought by
avatar "Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs" for a sum of 1,000,000 PED (100,000 US Dollar)!

So, som eguy bought some pixels for a million dollars. Amazing.

Well, it's possible to make a profit out of it. PE can be treated as a bit
of an investment if you play your cards right. (Not that I've ever played
it before, but that's just what I heard.)
