I recently offered something to AW and I would like to get people's opinion
here. Right now, it's 69.95 to register a world and 10 for the smallest,
making a total of about $80. Here is what I propose and tell me if I am off
my rocker or not, LOL.

A world is good if you have something new to add to it, otherwise it appears
people have to grab objects from worlds they could build in as citizens
without paying for a world. So, I feel there needs to be a combo offer like
True Space 3 with a world. That is priced also at 69.95.

I suggest in order to provide a complete package to citizens or newcomers
who want to dive head first into world designing to offer a $100.00 combo
including a world and true space. Citizens don't need another citizen which
is a $20 value. Non-citizens could get a free month then have to pay an
additional $20 at the usual rate.

But wait that's a $50 loss it seems, 30 if you subtract 20 a citizen costs
which an already registered citizen wouldn't need). Or is it? If you figure
they will be charging at least $30 per following year (10 for the smallest
world and 20 for the citizen), in 2 years they will be $10 ahead of what
they are offering now. Most people also will want to expand giving them
further money.

If that isn't enough to make AW want to try this, then consider this also.
They can update True Space, and sell updates to people who already bought
their package for $25.

World upgrades are 40-60 next up on the list of prices on their site which
brings us a total of over $200. Now, right now they sold me $20. I am not
paying $80 for just a world, no way, no how, NADA!!

AW, do you want to be 180$ richer by me and possibly more so if others buy
into this?

I THINK this is already in place. Either that or everyone who buys TS gets a copy of AW. Somthin like that.

Ok, third to see if this response works. Sorry if it appears to people 3
times here. I just can't get my response to show.

Did you mean $69.95 for a combo of a world and true space 3? AW itself is
free to download and doesn't expire.

IMO Truspace is only for folks who know what they are doing, when it comes to
creating AW art with it. It'd just confuse the hell out of most people trying
to (1) learn Truspace and (2) get the stuff into AW and (3) not freeze up for
hours because of the sheer volume of polygons in what they created. :)

Yeah, I installed a copy of TS last night just to see how much abuse my system can take with 256 megs of RAM before slowing down and
between the MADNESS tempertures and TS, somthing killed it off within a half hour.
