Or... The world admin tool should automatically check for server
updates.

It's been requested... many...many... times...

A simple mailing list (see the GNU Mailman project -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mailman) would suffice. Let people sign
up, and then the developers could take five minutes to send an e-mail to
the list and let everyone know. What's so difficult, i don't understand?

Certainly would be a nice idea. I just checked the website, and I do have
the current server running, however noticed something else... the admin.exe
tool is build 16 that comes with build 69 of the server, but you can also
download build 17 seperately.

I can't tell the difference between the two admin tools however except that
build 16 is 76,800 bytes and last modified Wednesday, June 16, 2004, 5:59:14
PM and that build 17 is 102,400 bytes and last modified Saturday, March 26,
2005, 2:12:08 AM. <--- looks like some late night programming.

I was hoping my "wishlist" items had been added before I ever asked... since
we're talking about a 25k increase. Oh well. :)

They don't even email universe owners, let alone users in their own system
yet there is a email address field on each world server license that has to
be filled in to add the license.

Well, I'm hoping... that someone working for AWI still reads these posts....
and ... well, adds these easy little tweaks to their to-do/future/wishlist.

When it comes to uni's, if I read about the one time charges correctly, any
major upgrades would involve an upgrade fee, I would assume that emails
would be sent out to all the uni owners to be informed of the next major
upgrade to 4.1, etc. ... for the very least it could potentially bring in
new income.

Now, I've been running a world server off and on for the last 6 years. I
definitely recall getting email from AWI every month... at least the
newsletter... that stopped... and I also remember getting some emails about
server updates... especially about the server updates that they wanted to
require an upgrade to because of security issues.

But you know, with limited staff, activities at AWI probably had to be
reduced. Only so much a handful of people can do I suppose.

Now... another wishlist item could be that when the server is restarted,
it's build/version number be compared to a number on the uni which could
then popup a notice that there is a newer version available. Same for the
admin tool. I'm sure it's doable, but maybe not profitable timewise.
