Active World's bait and switch operation // CommunityfoxmccloudApr 13, 2001, 8:40pm
I agree with you nornny :)
I guess marcus is just trying to find reasons to hassle AW :) marcus... if they have stated in an email to you that you could have a 20$ discount when not wanting the extra citizenship, or something... then show the email to the NG... if not, sorry but you're TOTALLY wrong. AW has no obligation to do what you think they should do, when they didn't clearly state they would, neither in their site, nor in e-mail.

LOL, I am not hassling them.
They responded eventually to my emails, and gave me a reasonable answer for how they do business. Because it doesn't run in sync with my personal views doesn't mean it isn't worth bringing up in here to discuss the matter. After all, they were the ones who showed me how to post here. I have never used Outlook before, so I didn't know how to even sign on to a newsgroup. Yes I am being anal. If I want to use several programs and budget myself, I need to know where my money is going to. 20 here, 20 there adds up eventually. I am proposing ways to consolidate services and offer more from Active Worlds side, thus reducing overall costs on the citizens, you and me, and at the same time making more money from us because they are offering things I don't need to get elsewhere. Saying that I want to post a message here, and saying that I want to pay $200 to Active Worlds for what I think is a fair price considering what I asked for is in NO way hassling, haggling, maybe. If you don't like it, move on. I don't have time to defend my words to everyone that misreads the intent. [View Quote] flaggApr 17, 2001, 8:03pm
Hi everyone,
Free citizenships that come with a world have no value in regards to the price of a world. It is assumed that most people that purchase a world are already citizens. The free citizens are intended for the new world owner to give to there friends and family, though they can use them for whatever they like. I hope this clears up some of the confusion. Thanks for time and for supporting Activeworlds.
