I just recently signed up for the 3d homepage feature, and one thing came up
I thought might be an attractive feature for AW users, especially world's
owners.

With limited capacity, have an additional world load. This would allow a
world's owner to browse other worlds and when a visitor comes to theirs,
they could switch over and either have the world they were in close or be on
standby. Also, the world's list on the left would pick them up then since
there is at least one user. To list all worlds (private and empty) there
are now 2117 showing, but if this feature were used then right now there
would be just 40 with the additional worlds people use. This means a lot
easier time to the visitor sifting through the current worlds with owners of
them actually online.

my guess is that he means this:
he wants the CT to be able to be in two worlds at once, so he can see if
there are ppl coming into his world. for the part about the world list, I
think he doesn't know that you can select not to show empty and private
worlds, seems like that's what he's asking for... [my opinion is that this
guy has been taking/smoking illegal substances before posting lol]

No, I do know you can select to show no empty rooms. That's the point of
the suggestion, and yes you got that part right.

If no one is in their world then people have to sift through all the worlds
with 0 to get to theirs. How do you know if that person is online or not?
They would have to be present in their world to at least show 1 person,
hence the suggestion to be in 2 worlds with possibly limited capacity in
one. I presented the numbers to illustrate this fact and the result.
Instead of 2000 worlds, you would have about 50 to look at instead.

Well, right click on an empty place in the world list and your dreams will come true ;)

If you right click on an empty place in the world list, a popup menu will show that will allow you to hide private worlds and/or
empty worlds. Your world list will be considerably shrinked.

And I know that too. One more time. I was trying to suggest a feature
where people who ARE ONLINE and OWN A WORLD can have their world in that
list. Taking the idea of right clicking and unchecking both, that would
leave less worlds and the ones who ARE ONLINE and OWN A WORLD would show up
(if they were allowed to be in 2 worlds with limited capabilites). Got it
now?

Don't blame me, I'm just a poor little French and I doesn't speak good le anglich :D

Hem anyway, so you want the world owner to be able to always see his world in the world list (I hope I haven't misunderstood you
again :) )... well that would be a nice option, and extending the idea, any user could benefit from choosing favourite worlds that
would appear on top of the list.

Don't get mad at me if I still haven't got it.... lol

Ok,

Yes, and it is also for the visitors so they don't have to search through
2000 worlds with 0 in them. The world owner can be in another world but
still have an online status of 1 for their world. That can help in sorting
the world's list since EVERYONE can right click and choose to not list empty
rooms.

Gee if I need to monitor my world I just but a bot there to alert me if
someone comes in.

lol well I think he wants that other users can also know when someone's online in a world they don't own

But thinking of it, it might not be that good a solution... Imagine if 15 people are monitoring the same world and waiting for
someone to enter... lol... they would all just wait and wouldn't enter the worl because it would stay at 0 count :)

"Imagine if 15 people are monitoring....would stay at 0 count"

No, if person 1 goes in to monitor then the world count is 1. That's why I
suggested 2 worlds opening. In order for 15 to try to monitor the same
world, they would have to automatically sign in to it without checking to
see if there was anyone else in that world, either by the list of worlds on
the left or just look at GZ to see the avatars.

Also, the world owner or a citizen/tourist building in a world could use the
second world for the object yards. Then they don't have to remember what a
name of an object looks like, and there could even be a feature added where
they could import from one world to the other. There are other uses for
this suggestion. Monitering visitors I thought was the most valuable to a
world owner cause it would allow them to be in another world. A bot would
do it, but like you mentioned that wouldn't indicate 1 user is online in
that world, nor does it account for the fact that user is online at all.
They could simply station their bot there and leave which would be very
counter productive. What I am suggesting is not something that would
incorporate or allow bots.

It's primarily a way for the individual to connect with others using the
program, since now they are free to explore other worlds and still able to
have status in their own world. A sign of a bot can't gurantee the person
is in that world.
