A world is something that has a lot of potential to be many things.
Alphaworld is the largest world. It has the potential to be many things for
a lot of many people. In fact, it is right now. However, the desire to be
in Alphaworld is slowly dieing out. It can't go for a year without object
updates, it can't go for a year without map updates and the like.

None of you guys at AWI seem to be up to the task, so how about setting up a
group of talented individuals, who have been using Active Worlds long enough
to know what they need to do, and how to do it. I believe a group of people
in charge of Updating the Objects, Textures, and Masks, taking care of the
world, keeping interest in its community, maybe even setting up events would
help it immensly.

It worked in AWTeen. It worked in AWRPG. Why can't it be passed along to
Alphaworld?

AW world has been going the way it is for many, many years with only a
few upgrades. You see, we now have a huge cell limit and people still
come up with complaints about something.

And you are that particular individual who has been in AW long enough to
know what to do? Or been in AWTeen long enough to known what to do?

Sounds like a good idea and all, but AW is a historical world where
mostly the oldies enter to build their builds, and towns. Each town has
their *own* community and they run their *own* events.

There is a world called AWCC which manages many things pertaining to the
ActiveWorlds browser in general as well as the AW world... There use to
be object competitions and certain objects had been added to the AW
Object Path. There is still an events calendar, but this is for the
whole ActiveWorlds community as a whole.

I believe Justin was the one that got the rock1.rwx etc objects added to
the object path, LOL. Now that was a while ago.

Objects that are in the AW Object Path need to be specific, and perfect.
Many world owners use this object path and having laggy objects and junk
like in AWTeen would put the path to shame really.

We have the Megapath as world owners which has more flexibility for
adding objects and textures I suppose.

Enough of my blabbering ;o)



Yours Sincerely,

Now now he never said or implied he was volunteering for the job.
Personally, I'd like just a couple people to overlook objects and texture
submissions, checking for quality and consistancy with existing objects.

Bleh, I hate the idea that Alphaworld is a world for oldies. It should be a
big booming world of activity :D

Saying that Alpha World is a world for oldies would bad marketing. The
oldies already use Alpha World, so stop marketing to them. Market to people
who are not members by constantly improving the world. Though those new
pp16 objects are misaligned with inconsistant gradients, AWI has done a good
job in allowing a few community members to improve the world as much as
possible. I hope it continues at this pace.
