SW City Interactive now works again! We were able to move to a new web host that supports the older version of PHP that SWI needs to work correctly. Please report any issues or bugs to the Discord! Happy playing!
Want to know what it is or how to play? Head on over to interactive.swcity.net for information and scroll to the very bottom of the page for instructions on where to go. |

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to "eat crow" as they say, we here at SW City do so with great pleasure. Because SW City is back, baby!
I was able to work with Chris, the developer of Active Worlds, to restore the textures and audio that were hosted on our own webspace. He opened up a way for people to upload their own content to the Alphaworld object path and then offered us his services to do some database magic to make it all work without us having to modify every object one at a time. So, thank you Chris!
We can also still build, but it now costs 5 AW Credits for 24 hours of standard building, and 10 AW Credits for 24 hours of building with particles, movers, cameras, and cloth; all the v4 stuff. Currently, the exchange rate is about 64 cents (USA) for every 5 credits you buy if you purchase the cheapest package of credits for $6.40, so kinda cheap if you think it's reasonable to pay in the first place. But that's a controversy we won't get into. ;D
The point is, we're back in Active Worlds, and everything should work as it did back in January. Enjoy! |

Active Worlds, the metaverse app SW City is located in, has shut down public building in preparation for a new, modern design system they're creating.
SW City will still be viewable when the new system comes online, but we can never build in the original SW City again. [cry]
It was a great run, and we knew this day would eventually come, so it's not just bittersweet that I'm writing this. There may also be a bit of a bright side. Change, as they say, can be good.
If you want more info about the changes coming to Active Worlds, head over to the Unofficial ActiveWorlds Facebook Group for a full breakdown I wrote of what's coming and what it means for AW's community. You shouldn't have to log in to see the post. |
 SWI Functionality Restored |

| As I'm sure thousands of users no doubt experienced, SWI has been broken for a few weeks now. This was due to our host upgrading the servers and making some other unexpected changes. SWI required some across-the-board updates to get it compatible with the new changes, but, it should be all set now! Post here if you find any problems.... or, just contact me directly since I never look here anymore! [think] |
