Tony: OK, I have been informed that Ihave been
captured and brought here to be observed and answer questions
My name is Tony,
I am the WorldsAway Executive Director
I wiish I was back at work and not here
these guys are not too firendly
I am under their control
they are preventing me from ESPing in or out
The item in my hand is a translator
it doesn't make coffee, it allows me to understand my alien captors
it is apparently quite fragile
excessive use will overload it ....
actually I think they are easily overloaded
they will let me go if they like my answers to the questions
Maybe they are writing a book
I don't think anyone will ever beleive this
You can ask questions through the aliens
Avatars with names A through M please ESP sa-neheset
Avatars with names N through Z please ESP sa-paneshe
They will collect the questions and decide which to give me . ... be
easy on me
this is a funny translator
my only chance to escape this neightmare is your questions

<Bleep?> <shrug>
Tony: Answer is that there will most likely not be
there will not, in the near future, be any adult or kid focused areas

Because we protect your identity and we don't know what you are
We'd rather concentrate on making the Dreamscape fun for everyone

Pets will most likely follow new locales

thieves?
GREAT idea ... we'll do it ... look for it in the update after the next
Tony: Q: will there be any special pricing for WA users? and will Compuserve

Compuserve is and for the forseeable future will remain the
distribuotr of the
Dreamscape. Compuserve pricing is out of our control ...

will pass the suggestions on to the folks at Compuserve ... send to

WA client
The WOW! service is delivered through a single window ... even web access

Unlikely
For newcomers, this thing in my hand is a translator so I can
understand what the alien creeps on both sides of me are saying
Tony: Q: why is there a different rate of token earning for ghost
Sa-Neheset: blorp grrrr
Tony: Because we want to encourage you to have an Avatar presence in the

Tony: and to interact with others and to get known
Sa-Neheset: Bleeep oooga ogga blehpppp<frown><frown>

newbies?
As we recruit Acolytes we will look for experienced avatars

The question is where did I get my outfit

No, as we increase performance we will be able to increase number
of avatars per locale
Tony: Q: where do I sign up for the next beta test?
Send your request to WA Team, 76710,162
Tony: Q: Will we be able to put more things in their pockets?
we won't be increasing the number of items you can have in your
pockets, but you will be able to take things out of chests which are in
your pocket without having to remove the chest .. of course, this will
cause a very unattractive bulge!
Tony: NOTE: there will be a transcript of this session in the forum ... as
