			<pre>Dear WorldsAway CompuServe Member:

			Effective May 17, 1998, U.S. CompuServe members wishing to participate in
			Dreamscape will need to utilize the WorldsAway billing service as provided
			by our internet billing partner, iBill. For our European members, we will
			soon have a service offering direct debit from all German bank accounts as
			well as the acceptance of eurocheques throughout Europe. For most current
			Dreamscape participants, this change represents significant savings in your
			usage, as now you'll be charged a flat $19.95 (U.S.) per month for
			unlimited access to Dreamscape.

			Dreamscape members will not lose their current Dreamscape avatars, turfs,
			or possessions. All that is changing is the way you are paying for your
			account--CIS will no longer be offering its own billing service for
			Dreamscape.

			You can convert your WorldsAway account to iBill by May 31 and receive a
			free 14-day bonus for doing so. Best of all it's quick and easy to convert.
			You can complete the U.S. iBill process at the following site:

			http://www.worldsaway.com/rpa/convert/

			After May 31st iBill will charge an additional nominal fee for a shorter
			trial period. However, we have arranged to allow you to convert your
			Dreamscape account through May 31, 1999 and still receive the 14-day free
			bonus. Upon completion of the free trial, subscriptions will convert to a
			30-day recurring charge of $19.95 per month. Remember, to get your free 14
			days in Dreamscape you need to convert your account by May 31, 1999. You
			will not be able to access your avatar _via CompuServe_ after May 17,
			however your avatar(s) and possessions will remain safe and you can still
			convert for 90 days after your last log-in.

			If you prefer not to use a credit card, you can send a check or money order
			(U.S. funds) for 6 months or more. You can find information on this under
			our Billing FAQ, located at:

			http://www.worldsaway.com/help/billingfaq.html

			Thank you for your continued interest and membership to Dreamscape. For
			help or questions, please write to: dr...@worldsaway.com.

			Best Regards,
	The WorldsAway Team</pre>		The WorldsAway Team</pre>

			Dear Community Members of Phantasus and the Dreamscape,

			The WorldsAway development team has met and discussed the implications of the
			get/put patch, security issues, and the needs of the Dreamscape community.
			Customers have enumerated many of the benefits of the get/put patch. However,
			the get/put patch was able to be implemented by our customers be
			cause of a hole in the security of the WorldsAway client. Because it is a
			security issue, and a secure environment is essential to WorldsAway, this bug
			cannot be placed back into the WorldsAway client or server.

			Taking into consideration customer feedback, client stability, and security,
			the following plan has been put in place. FSC will be implementing the
			following features:

			1] Get from containers in pockets

			This will allow users to place objects into containers in their pocket, as well
			as retrieve objects from containers in their pockets. This will allow our
			customers to rearrange and sort objects without having to place chests on the
			ground.

			2] Turf Velcro/Turf Glue

			This will allow users to place objects anywhere in their turfs, including
			walls. It restores the features of the get/put patch to turf owners and then
			some. It will also allow customers to "glue" objects to the floor so that
			other avatars cannot remove them.

			3] Rotate Object Facing

			This will allow users to rotate the facing of any object just like an avatar.
			The user will have to walk to the object to do so. We are currently
			investigating telekinetic rotation in turfs.

			These items have been placed at the top of the Dreamscape priority list and are
			currently being coded. As they proceed through the development process, we
			will keep the community up to date through forum posts and spreading the word
			in the Dreamscape.

			At this time, telekinesis will not be implemented beyond the functionality of
			Turf Velcro/Glue. We are currently investigating the possibility of
			telekinesis in the future.

			It is important to understand that the FSC development cycle is not linear.
			That is, while some developers are working on the server, others are working on
			objects. As development is working on their tasks, the World Development Team
			is working on new art and new areas. These tasks are not mutually
			exclusive--the fact that a new area is opened or new object is released does
			not mean that these priorities have changed, or that FSC is not working to
			implement customer feedback. In this case, other objects have already been
			through the development process and are going through the QA
			process. This means that new objects will likely be released before the above
			features are implemented. Again, this does not mean that we have reduced their
			priority.

			We thank you for your feedback and suggestions, and appreciate your continued
			patience as we work to develop and implement this plan. If you have further
			questions or comments, please address them to dream@worldsaway.com or to the
			WATEAM account [76710,162].

			Sincerely on behalf of FSC,
			Oracle Teresias and Oracle Vaserius</pre>
