They need to stick on a dissabled checkbox to indicate if a world has Tourists enabled or not. 2 min job

Since the worlds list is being re-worked, now might be a good time for something indicating tourist access to be added.

Could someone explain why "tourist access" should be stated in the
worldlist?

I think it should be more like when logged in as a tourist only the tourist
accessible worlds be displayed int he worlds list...

maybe also have a not saying that more worlds will be accessible of you were
a citizen.. hehe

For several reasons, actually, but the two that I think are most important are as follows...

Tourists are often potential future citizens of Active Worlds universes that allow them, and are much more likely to stay long enough to make friends and learn what Active Worlds is all about if they feel welcome. An increase in the raation of worlds that they can enter on their first try to worlds that they get ejected from on their first entry attempt will most likely make them feel more welcome in Active Worlds.

Citizens who want to bring new people into ActiveWorlds are currently discouraged from doing so by the complications involved in having to explain to them that only certain worlds allow tourists, what a tourist is, and the lack of any indication of which worlds a tourist can enter, all at once.

In short, it would make tourists more comfortable and encourage them to stay and eventaully register, and it would make citizens more likely to feel comfortable inviting new people to Active Worlds.

Maybe, but I don't think so. If you're going to bother to lock them out of a bunch of worlds in an attempt to make them want to buy a citizenship to gain access to them, it would make sense to let them easily see just how many worlds they are locked out of that citizens are not... and which ones, so that when worlds come up in conversation, they can look on their lest and see that the world exists and weather or not they can enter it.
