Subject: Important! Hotel Account Information
Dear Hotel Members,
It's hard to believe that it has been almost one year since Hotel Silicon
began as a beta world. Thanks to all of you, it has matured into a real
community of its own. In order to keep up with the growth, we have added
Concierges Claudette and Jean-Paul as well as a full valet staff. We have
added many new heads, accessories and pieces of furniture in the vendos.
We have also added the gaming room among other locales. Have you seen
the new disco?
In order to continue supporting and growing this world, we've started to
charge for membership in the Hotel (via our billing partner, iBill). Depending
on your current membership status, there's an account that's right for you.
If you created your Hotel Silicon account prior to March 2nd, you will need to
convert your account to a Mercury, Silver, or Gold billing plan by April 1, 1998.
We thank those of you who have already converted, and encourage those
who haven't to do so soon!
You will be able to keep all of your avatars and possessions when you convert,
and you will be able to enter the world with your old account through April 1.
But time is running out!!!!
On April 2, 1998, unconverted accounts will not be able to enter the Hotel.
However, you can still convert after April 2; your avatars and possessions
will still be available to you for 90 days.
We've included instructions below to ensure a smooth and easy transition.
Choose one of the two options that applies to you.
1. I'm a current Hotel Silicon member but I'm not a member of Dreamscape.
Open an Internet Billing account and all your avatars and possessions will
automatically be transferred to your new account. For $9.95 per month (Mercury
plan), you'll get unlimited access to Hotel Silicon including two avatars. You will
be able to enter Hotel Silicon with one avatar at a time. The server will not allow
simultaneous logins in a flat rate world. To convert your account go to the
bottom of:
https://www.worldsaway.com/hotel/conversion/
and enter your current Hotel account information.
2. I already have an iBill account for Dreamscape, and want to convert my
existing Hotel account
Your Gold or Silver Dreamscape Passport account now includes a new two-avatar
account for you in Hotel Silicon at no additional cost. Current Dreamscape
members with Bronze Passports can also convert their Hotel accounts by
upgrading to the Mercury plan (see the Account Manager at: http://www.worldsaway.com/Members/acctmanager/ ).
You will be able to enter Hotel Silicon with one avatar at a time. The server will
not allow simultaneous logins in a flat rate world.
NOTE: If you have existing avatars in the Hotel (especially with lots of stuff), these
avatars will not convert to your iBill account. So, to get your stuff:
1. go in with your old account,
2. put ALL your possessions into one turf, even from your pockets
3. add a trusted friend or Valet to your turf lease
4. go change your name three times to something else
5. enter Hotel with your new account's avatar
6. have your friend add your new avatar back onto your turf lease
7. remove your friend from the lease
8. repeat this process with your second avatar if necessary
If you do not have a trusted friend to help you with this transfer, please contact a
Concierge or Valet.
NOTE: What you want to avoid is converting your free Beta/Hotel account to
a second Ibill account and thereby incurring two monthly bills. We do not have the
capability to 'merge' multiple Ibill accounts. We are sorry for any inconvenience
this might cause.
We hope that together we can continue growing Hotel Silicon. We look forward
to seeing you in the Hotel!
Sincerely,
The WorldsAway Team
