Tourist allowance 3rd color (General Discussion)
Tourist allowance 3rd color // General DiscussionscrebJan 7, 2003, 4:24pm
I think since AW is asking (rather much) money for the allowance of tourists
in a world, it would be nice that it would show in the Worlds List, if a world is open for tourists or not. That means that beside green and red worlds a 3rd color should be added. This way world owners get some value for the $ 60.- a year they pay cause tourists will be able to find these "open" worlds quiet easy in the list of about 1100 worlds. Maybe it should be possible for world owners to decide themselves if they want their world(s) to be shown in that 3rd color. Curious what u think.... screb ( yep! ) stecloudJan 7, 2003, 5:35pm
I have heard this debated a lot around worlds and such. I think its a good
idea, and i cant see it being too difficult for AW to implement. A reason however, i see they might not want to is, AW has been against tourists since Jan 3rd 2002, over a year ago now...it was only a lot later they were let back in. Maybe it wouyld be going against AW's policy if they gave tourists an easier life with thos 3rd color. screbJan 7, 2003, 6:25pm
Well I know they don't like tourists walking around... prolly because they
can't make money out of them. But now if worldowners are paying for the tourists, I think it would be fair to award the worldowners for that by giving them a 3rd color. This way it becomes more attractive for more worldowners to pay the $ 60,- so aswell as AW as the ones who like to have visitors in their worlds will profit of it screb [View Quote] stecloudJan 7, 2003, 6:53pm
I totally agree with you, but i don't know whether or not it will happen.
Maybe post it on the wishlists NG though. makiJan 7, 2003, 8:59pm
maybe rather than being a '3rd color' they could have a T over their
green/red world 'ball' on the list. maybe, even more, they could allow you to check that 'T' on and off in the world features. awmaki.com [View Quote] lord fettJan 7, 2003, 10:57pm
Well in 3.4, this is what the world ball icons look like.

oh, how ishy. why are so many question marks? not possible for a world not
to have a rating.. :O maki [View Quote] lord fettJan 8, 2003, 4:51am
The worlds with ? marks on them are non 3.4 world servers. If the uniserver
can't receive the rating, it will just put a ? on it. [View Quote] screbJan 8, 2003, 6:14pm
Well after having seen the picture of the world ball icons I noticed the
background of all balls is white. Since they r seperate icons, it is no problem at all to give the background these 3 colors... Its simply that easy... All the balls can stay the way they thought of them now... just the background will be red green or "blue"... Might solve the problem?? screb [View Quote] screbJan 11, 2003, 11:59am
Other option that someone mentioned in other newsgroups (whislist and
worldbuilders) was: make cit worlds name bold and tourist worlds name normal font... not bad either I think, wich does not interfear with the new icons.... screb [View Quote] |
