Version: Activeworlds 3.2
Pros: It was free to visit
Cons: Firstly I think this software is overrated in that unless you have fast computer speed you lag most of the time. There seemed no organisation at all within the program. I could not visit most "worlds" unless i paid money first, the games on offer consisted of bot controlled games which to me ran slow as hell and def not anything great. There seemed a dependancy on Bot controlled activities instead of program operated games.
I found the people very agressive and nasty when you tryed to get information about things going on.
Overall a rather shoddy game software in comparrison to places like second life and vzones.

Version: Activeworlds 3.2
"aw 4.1 is a great virtual space and building experience"
Pros: ActiveWorlds isn't a game. It comprises hundreds of individually owned worlds full of custom landscapes and buildings built from parts. There are now also gaming worlds and Bingo which is a fun group activity. Unlike other virtual spaces I've seen, aw has places where you can go and build, out in the country away from everyone. There are some places that are open to "tourists" unpaid users of the system. But, citizenship costs are reasonable and the benefits are being able to choose from each worlds' available avatars and building in your own citizen name that others cannot change, teleport lists kept in the aw browser and use of the aw telegram system.
Cons: I wish they had the custom avatar feature finished but, that's soon to be ready. I used to wish that more graphic formats were recognised but they've just fixed that too.
