Is there going to be items to purchase like groceries and dinners and
clothes etc?
If not a TON of money could be spent on things like NEW outfits!
I'm certainly bored with this plain old black outfit and the semas are
fraying!...lol
Anyways...not sure what all the plans are...but making it more IRL with
HAVING to purchase EVERYTHING...maybe even gowns for the Cy ceremony...would
be such fun:)
Oooooh....guys who propose VR could even purchase diamond rings for their
fiancees!
My goodness...we could go on and on and on!
:)

Buying clothes is a good idea! Since bots can override your choice of
avatar in 3.4 this would be quite easy to implement too. The bot would just
change your avatar back to whatever you wore before changing if you haven't
bought the right to use that avatar.

Yeah disable av list and store shows pics of av's and you can change to your
av choice. This would rock

Maybe sounds like the Sims...but it aint AW:)
Can one learn bot programming and 3d modelling in Sims?
Can you create and upload your own textures in Sims?
I have seen a lot of posts comparing AW to other chat programs that offer 3d
but still fail to see the comparison.
For me...AW offers expression of creativity at it's fullest.
Anyways...just my 13 cents worth:) (13 cause thats my lucky number:)

Yeah sims is basically a game where you have no freedom.

I thought (& once suggested at TechTalk) that the op has a list of textures
an av can use and then you can change "clothes"..... this would be a
brilliant thing and very easy to implement!

Would be much better if someone would write up deatils of skinned avatars so
at least some members can use this option in creation. But then Hammy has
gone :-(

Those aren't rumors. lol. The Sims Online is expected to be released within
a few months. :))

And it will be sorta like NewAW, from what I hear about NewAW, just in a Sim
way. :) I actually have followed TSO a lot closer than NewAW, but the
concepts are similar. Put sims/avatars in a world, and let them do real
worldy things. :) Of course, both the programs in general AND specifically
have VERY different focuses and centers, they are by NO means the same or
can ever be compared. :)

You can model and import models into The Sims. This isn't possible in Sims Online though, not unless it's added to an expansion pack which others would have to purchase also.
