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....

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.

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

I totally agree with you, but i don't know whether or not it will happen.
Maybe post it on the wishlists NG though.

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.

Well in 3.4, this is what the world ball icons look like.

So it won't be easy to add a T to them/make a 3rd ball color. They will have
to figure out another way, maybe a small T in the top left corner would be
cool.

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.

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??

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....
