I absolutely agree with ya hun, I got my *free cit* in worlds for 3 mths, +1
for being an AWer LOL, and after that I just didn't go back. It's laggy to
load at start, every time ... or so it was for me.
AW has *alot* of potential. Competition is good because they can perhaps
branch out into areas other chats are trying ... AW is well established so
it should do pretty good in some of these *new ideas* we're seeing in other
3D chats. Take something as simple as real mirrors ... worlds has that and
that's one of their kewlest features I think! I'm told aw could do this with
ease and has had this ability for ages. I loved walking by mirrors in worlds
and watching my av as I did so LOL. Small things amuse me. Take being able
to use your own modeled or purchased avs in any world ... simple concept and
it is done in other 3D chats ... so why not aw? You'd all know it's me, not
just by my name but because of my own unique avs (which now have my RL face
on em LOL). I'd love to be able to visit other worlds and *be me* ...
perhaps make it at least an option? OK someone's gonna tell me this belongs
in wishlist so ... I'm posting to both LOL.
1) Realistic Mirrors
2) My own avs in any worlds
AerHawk (hubby) and I were discussing whether or not we should renew Aeon
since it's due in a coupla weeks. The resounding answer is YES. I've spent a
heap of time in aw, I've worked hard on my world (and the d/l time proves it
LOL) ... it's an intense world and I love it dearly. I'd have withdrawals if
I had to stop now, even for a short time! AW rocks, no if ands or buts about
it!
The End (for now)...
