Active Worlds - A relic from the past.

Does that guy with thr avatar of a skinned kangaroo in a black robe still hang around and pretend to be a creepypasta or something? I remember logging on once on a random day outside of the usual fluctuations of tourism popularity and caught him talking to some boomer players about weetabix.
Nexialist, I believe, that's who I was mentioning with the cult talk earlier. I'm not for sure if he's still active.

Now theres a game I haven't thought about in a long, long time. I used to wander around AW back in the late 90s. Mostly in the yellowstone national park world. At least I did until I got followed around for an hour or so by a guy who apparently thought I was a girl for some reason i've never been able to figure out, then tried to get me to follow him over to his camp so he could start talking like he should have had a guest appearance on TCAP. Knowing exactly what was going on I told him I let him talk without saying anything for a few minutes then told him I was a cop and laughed my ass off while he tried to pull his best TCAP I totally wasn't serious panic freakout. I think that was the last time I bothered with AW for a long time after that

I wonder if anybody ever actually paid the absurdly high price to rent a full world server of their own. Never heard of anyone doing it but you never know. Seemed to be the kind of thing they were trying to push as a business model

Also they have some....interesting wording for their disclaimer for hosting services:

Disclaimer Hosting of worlds and accompanied services are provided without any warranty or fitness for any particular purpose. The provider is not liable for any damages eventually incurred.

For any damages eventually incurred? That sounds like something you'd say if you're expecting inevitable damages. Not something you want to imply about your product

Also seems to have become a hell of alot cheaper than it used to be
Honestly if more people used this and there were actual things to do like in tower unite it would be worth it to set up a small server.
