AWTeen is the second biggest world in Active Worlds, and while it is
miniscule in size compared to Alpha World, the effort to work with it and
make it a good world as a whole is a different story.

With that being said, I think its been too long since its last world
expansion. There are very few areas left that could be considered "prime
land" (being on intervals of 100s) and if you want to build something very
large and need it to have easy to remember coordinates, you'll be
hard-pressed to find a spot.

With all of the effort that is put into the world, is a size expansion too
much to ask for?

I say put as much effort into Alpha World as AWTeen, but that's just my
biased opinion :P

Well, according to Andras's MapView utility, and using a propdump taken
from the end of October... AWTeen is only using 46.7 % of its total
land. Meaning half the land out there is still open.

Although, the map has gotten a lot more cluttered looking lately. This
would probably be a good New Year's present for AWTeen from AWI.

There could be some negative side effects (a massive land-grab, longer
propdump/database update times, etc)... But I think they might be worth it.

Half the land may be open, but the problem is finding large, continuous
chunks of unused land.
And that's why I love Alpha World ^,^

>_< well according to rules max is 100x100 right? (who follows that?) you
just gotta look...or be very lucky...like with my unity city project...lets
just say i got more land than ill need (no such thing) but peopel dont need
coords liek 100n 100e...some of the best land is at coords liek 1057n
2903w...or w/e thats when you go over and make it 1050m 2900w...nothing
needs to be easy..or i do stuff liek 1400s 2800w....see it works...but no
one needs perfect just even numbers...to the neaerest ten...oror even
hundred ...and if you find land like lets say soem certain cit from 2000 has
a poop load of land and hasnt even made a tree on it...report it and claim
it :) (happens all too often)

The 100x100 rule only applies to land cover, not actually using the land.
Though the definition of "use" is subjective. For SW City for example, I
could say my buildings are "using" all that water to deem itself an island
(which is pretty much the case)

.....or are you talking about AWteen?

100x100 is commonplace now in AWTeen for things like upcoming cities,
special areas, events etc

There sure is a lot of land cover in AWTeen that's much larger than 100x100.
It's easy to see on the mapper. Any possibilities of cleaning that stuff
up?
