Recommended Hot Spots

This is where you can get tips on places to visit from the "insiders". These correspondents are leaders in their worlds, who take the time to seek out new, exciting, and different places to visit in their worlds. Don't miss a single destination on this list if you want to know what's cool in the AW Universe!

Caring
Atlantis World Page

Caring's Atlantis Recommendation

Here is a fantastic castle in Atlantis built by HolySmoke. He says it isn't furnished yet and sort of still under construction but it is still something you won't want to miss. See it at 199.6N 469.5E 0.4a 273.

 

Canopus
Mars World Page

Canopus' Mars Recommendation

It's always a pleasure, when tracking down buildings from the new census of Mars, to find that a developer of longstanding reputation is still actively creating new and interesting buildings. So even if you've already taken the Phlegra Tour on the Elysium Railway and visited Doctor TOC's PAD 23 site, it would be well worth going there again. And if you've never been to PAD 23, then you certainly want to take in the city and transport center with its floating cargo ship (30N 169W) plus the new military pyramid (40N 181W). Doctor TOC has taken a lot of care with details, and made use of every bit of available space in the pyramid, so be sure to follow all the winding corridors and press all the handprint readers by the sliding doors, or you'll miss a lot of fun.

GooberKing's UTN Recommendation

Moonlight Heights - AWTeen 520s 500w 180

Another of UTN's Core towns, Moonlight Heights (formally Blinkville) is arguably the largest town in AWTeen. Sporting many sights as well as varied terrain, this town still has plenty of space available for would-be residents. Be sure to check out places like the swank Town Hall, Lake Moonlight, and the Moonlight Heights International Airport. Also stop by the mayor's Cave House to see some inventive uses of the move command. And, in a nod to the mayor's skater roots, you can also pull some mad air over at the Twin Towers Skate Park next to GZ. So bring your skateboard and your imagination and head on over to Moonlight Heights!

Duskbat's Historical Recommendation

Cessna six seven tango your cleared for takeoff runway two six right, contact depature control on one two niner point five good day. Thank you for flying Air AW. your only AW commerical airline! Today we will land at Decoy's Paradise City Airport. This is an old airport but big enough to lose your bags. Walk the terminal buildings and see all the nice tourist looking for there lost bags. If you dont have any luck in finding your lost bag you might wanna look in the hanger across the runways. Just watch out for large aircraft! I heard that back in 1997 some guy named Carls Slimburg landed here from a long flight from Lara's object yard making AW aviation history! Find out for yourself. In AW go to 949n 498w. Thank you SirQus for sending this one. Anyone else? Till next month everyone be good and have fun in AW :)

jupytr's COFMeta Recommendation

City Of Time - Metatropolis 280N 139W (facing W)

Lots to see here. Interesting builds, etc.
Another teleport spot in the same area:
Metatropolis 252N 188W

Roc City - Metatropolis 155N 186W
Also some interesting things to see here.

Walk around these cities. There's plenty to see.

Special note to Metazins:
Some of the create animate me textures need the added mask command to look correct. On my wanderings, I see tons of these that need fixing ; ) For instance, if you're using the rail1. texture, it should look like this now:
create animate mask me rail1. 1 1 0
or even like this:
create animate me rail1. 1 1 0,animate mask me rail1. 1 1 0

Announcement:
Many Metazins offered to help with finding Meta hot spots for the newsletter. I think one person gave me one coord in the last year. In other words, no one is helping. We need help with this. If you come accross a nice build in Meta, tgram me (jupytr) with the coords. I'll hugely appreciat that ; ) Thanks! In addition, I challenge anyone to come to Meta and build something cool. We need more imput. Show us whatcha got ; )

AWCOMREG's Recommendation

Pipinville Variety at it's best

Many Towns in AW try to hold something for everyone, but few do it as well as was done in Pipinville. This town offers a great amount of variety from Mountains to resorts. Taking a walk across the Pipinville Dam is fun in itself, but then you can go the extra mile into a dark foreboding cave, to watch the inner workings. Or you can even relax by scenic Pipinville beach. Pipinville has something to offer to everyone.
