You Go Jeffrey. I absolutely undeniably completely and thouroughly dispise
AOL. Need to re-install your software again lately AOL users? [View Quote] P.S.: I am making a page with a list of reasons why I don't like AOL and why no one else should believe the hype in commercials, I will post it when finished. (Now watch this thread get flooded with those AOL freaks) -John Viper P.S.: I understand that some of you have no choice but to use AOL if so I feel sorry for you. When my page is up give it to your parents. [View Quote] > Simple: I'd make NAC property deletable like then-COF bullshitted its users into believing before buying citizenships. Of course I'd get rid of charging for citizenship as well, relying instead on the REAL moneymakers: galaxy/universe servers. If AW is ever going to get popular, it's going to have to become more free. One word (acronym): ICQ. Just think how popular AW would have been if it didn't start charging. The user count prior to charging was around 200,000 for the 2 or so years AW had existed. In double the time, AW has only grown to 304,563 (around 104,563 "new" users). However, note that a lot of these "new" users are duplicate accounts, free accounts (like that come with worlds), event-specific accounts (like when The 13th Floor premiered with all those Pepsi### "citizens"), etc, etc, etc. Anyway, if AW could have grown legitimentally without bloated user counts and misleading/false advertising in their press releases, perhaps larger companies like Yahoo!, AOL, or even > Microsoft would have aquired AWCI by now. > > AW is 3D. 3D takes fast, improving development in order to stay alive. One look at the 3D gaming industry is all that's needed here. 3D is overtaking the computer gaming industry and compared to most current 3D games, AW looks like shit. I could go on and on about AW's lack of 3D engine and user interface development, but you can read all about it at http://tnlc.com/eep/aw/ if you're that bored. > > And don't call me "Mr.". :) Eep or Eep² is sufficient. > [View Quote] -- "Its times like this I wonder, Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill?" http://www2.crosswinds.net/winston-salem/~ticklejw/ AW: John Viper ICQ: 29832305 IM: Viper3695 |
