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.

The point is, we’re back in Active Worlds, and everything should work as it did back in January. Enjoy!
