Hey!,
Im writing you this in hopes that you might actually read it and take it
into consideration. As you probably know OW (Outer Worlds) has its own
banking system and I think a system like that would greatly improve AW. It
would create an actual economy in the Active Worlds Community. Just so you
know I do know several people who would be more than willing to create
client/server software for the bank and I would also be willing to recieve
any support emails from users regarding problems. I only need a few things
from you:

1. I may need you to host the bank software
2. I would need you to advertise the bank as the official currency of AW

I also think that there should be a Mars sized building world which
requires builders to buy land. Well thats my two cents thanks for reading!
I would really appriciate a response no matter what you decide and any
questions are more than welcome.

Thank You Again,
Trav

Just so you know that was a copy of a letter I sent to several AWCom
members. :-D

no need for that, we have bank bots :-)) anyway, as soon as the USWF builds
up our new world we'll offer members to use the brand new banking system
developed exclusively for us.

How is this AW money transferred? Are there coin and dollar bill objects
with a user's number and screen name in the object properties?

and in outerworlds you have to buy lots just to build. I'd rather keep AW
free building like it is. And plus there is no need for this really...

The only use for a bank in AW would be for those engaged in role playing of
one form or another.
When you need to buy gear in game then you need cash.

I'd need to be one rich man to continue building in AW like I do with that
feature on. Just use bots...that way people who don't want to pay for their
objects can keep building like they want in AW.

Well I think that if AW had a bank it would be great because then everyone
would have an account and people could do stuff like this:

JoeShmoe: Damn I suck at web design I need somone to do it for me....
LeroyBrown: Ill do it for 150 VR
JoeShmoe: Ok **goes to bank client and transfers money**
LeroyBrown: :-D
LeroyBrown: **makes webpage**

I in no way meant that all building worlds should cost money, just one Mars
sized world.

The point of AW, and VR in general, is to escape the real world. Getting
bogged down in shit like money and economics is too real.

I certainly hope that you're not implying that anyone in AW would be as
dishonest as to cheat at a "game" of sorts and rob a virtual bank.

Well, okay, maybe the dishonesty is there, but the skills are not. I'm
perfectly confident that NOBODY in AW has the "m4d skillz0r" neccesary to
"hack" (term used losely) the WinXP box that's hosting this bank.

Well, that was just a joke, and I agree we don't need anything like money in virtual reality ;) (if only we hadn't any in real life
either)

And it's the first time I hear someone except Bill Gates say the words "Windöws" and "secure" in the same sentence, congratulations.
