a few on display.
Citizenship Referral Program –
Starting December 1st. Active Worlds will be trying a
new referral program to reward citizens who are helping
us grow. When a new customer registers they will have
the option of entering the Citizen Name of the person
who referred them to Active Worlds. Once the new customer
has been registered in Active Worlds for more than two
months the Citizen that referred them will receive a free
month of Citizenship.
Flagg's Top-Ten Worlds - Each month
I will be posting my list of what I think are the top
10 non-AWI worlds in the Active Worlds Universe. This
month was just a quick list, but as I re-familiarize myself
with our universe and community I will be doing more traveling
and reviews. Worlds are judged based on setup, sounds,
ease of movement, entry experience and overall content.
Per the editor's request, Flagg's Top Ten Worlds
will be used for the monthly Worlds to Watch section.
Flagg's favorite worlds and reviews of them will be found
in Flagg's Worlds to Watch.
