An SW City roadmap has been posted in the forums. It highlights some major roads of, or passing through, SW City.
The yacht party has cooled down now over at Sybit Seaport. It was great, perhaps one of SW City’s most popular ideas. So far there are 12 beautiful vessels, only a couple of them incomplete.
swcity.net more popular than I expected. January recieved 466 MB traffic!
The Bullet Trams idea has been revived and is being dicussed in the forums. For you younguns’, the idea was to connect Yeti City and SW City via subway track.
Yay! It’s taken several months but we finally recieved our statue for best town of 2002. Congratulations everyone. We finally won this hard earned award after 3 years, which reminds me – SW City is approaching its 4th birthday already! Considering AWI’s speed I think we’d be best off arranging the awards now with them, so stay tuned.
You can find our town’s award at town square on the south side in the center of the main path.
And, a final note, if you haven’t yet heard, Praxten Oil Rig recieved its statue award too a few weeks ago.
Looks like AWI can’t make up their minds. Tourists are re-allowed into Alphaworld again. This time the reason is uncertain though.
UPDATE: Chris here. Tourists are gone again. From now on we will not update any more news on this issue unless Tourist access is actually made permanent. >_<
Tourists can now officially enter Alpha World Prime, Active World’s massive building world. There was no official announcement out of the AWC camp, but speculation is that this move is a response to the outcry against the anti-tourism policies instituted by the government last year on January 3, 2002.
UPDATE: Another area of speculation suggests that tourist access was granted to AW Prime only so tourists could build at any of the various Columbia Memorials. In this case, tourist access is likely to last not more than a week. Still there is no official word as to the reason why.
UPDATE: Tourist access was turned off early this morning. The free reign was probably only granted for the day because of the Columbia disaster.
The Forum was down last night for several hours as our friends at my server provider upgraded the system. It was a routine system upgrade, which definitely seems to follow Comit’s mantra of “If it ain’t broke, improve it.” ^_^
Also, the white screen problem with the forum should be fixed for everyone.
