News From The Active Worlds Community

2000 Reunions Announced!

(courtesy of Belfalest and Cablecar Gal)

What is The Reunion 2000?

An IRL (in real life) reunion of people/avatars who originally met in the 3D Interactive setting of AlphaWorld/Active Worlds (including any and all offshoots/universes etc).

Many of us have formed what will quite likely be life long cyber friendships.
Some of us have been fortunate enough to have formed strong real life friendships & loving relationships.
Yes, some of us have even found our nemesis in the wonderful world of cyber space.
This real life reunion is being planned as an informal gathering of friends and acquaintances.

The organization committee is made up of former & current ActiveWorlds citizens and we are not directly sponsored by any corporate entity. We welcome and encourage citizens from all other Active Worlds affiliated, worlds, universes, etc.

The Cy Awards Gala will be held in the beautiful Cy Theater in the Cy Awards area. Landing in GZ is requested. It will be crowded, so please be sure and stop by the Cy Theatre (34N 30W) earlier that day to download and save a teleport. Following the ceremony we will be hosting a reception directly behind the theatre, with dining and dancing and an opportunity for you to congratulate The Recipients personally:)
