Does anyone remember when the colony alpha objects were first made
public. Like, when the path was first made avail and the objects put on
the aw site for download?

I'm tryin got date my world, but it's so old its date is listed as
"unknown" in awi's records. All I can remember is the one of the first
things we did was download the Colony ALpha path, as it was just added
for public use when Avatar was created.

If anyone can remember, that would be awesome!

History hunting!

Looking at the file properties on the rwx files.
Most of them where created all over the year of 1996.

Yeah but that's not when they were offered on the aw website for others
to use. I'm wondering if anyone remembers when they were added for
download to site. I think it was around 98 99 ? Anyone know the exact
year?

I started aw in late 96
Some time in 97 colony alpha was open for building, America world was
the cool new thing. Then private worlds started to pop up. My friend
bought a world and called it Avatar for no reason other than attracting
visitors sortly after, was like one of the first 'batch' of private
worlds, like the first year they really started to sell to the public.
Then about a year later, the owner decided to leave AW and traded me the
world on the condition I mail him some blank CD's I had (wierd!).

Thanks to Mauz's site the mystery is solved.

I remember my brief switch to Outer Worlds when it first opened due to
not being able to afford to renew my world and the offer of a free (but
smaller) world in OW.

OW was in late 98, so that means my world is from late 97 or early 98.

Wholy smokes that's old! yet still an unknown world.

I'd Contact Moria - seeing how Colony is his world he should know.

[View Quote] Dunno but I downloaded the Colony Alpha art files on February 1998,
and I've had Avatar listed in my Worlds web page at least since May 1998.
