By now most of the tourists and citizens of our happy universe are aware that the cost of citizenship is about to go to zero. Our friends at AWI are going to institute an economy wherein whatever we have invested in actual dollars will be converted to a virtual currency which can be used to enhance your avatar, buy worlds and other services.

 

​

 

Dropping the cost of citizenship altogether has the potential to draw new people into Active Worlds. We have a rare opportunity to show why people coming back or new people just joining should stay. While building and cool avatars are certainly attractors nothing beats a community that is happy to see you and values your company.

 

Therefore, the Peacekeepers encourage you to cheerfully embrace each new citizen who appears. Make them feel welcome and make them want to stay. I firmly believe that our community is one of the best in the entire meta-verse. We need to help AWI survive economically. That means new citizens. We have an entire new year ahead of us and the opportunity to make some real history. So let all of us put on our best smiles and greet every new potential member as an old friend.
