Re: UKNM: Virtual Communities, Avatars etc. . .

[Roland Glover]

The Worldsaway software is still very much alive and kicking though now in a

new

incarnation as Virtual Zones.


US virtual community developers Avaterra acquired the Worldsaway software

from

Fujitsu in May 1999 and have since developed the Virtual Zones to the level

you

see today. Avaterra Europe launched  VirtualZones (www.virtualzones.co.uk)

in

the UK as a free model in December. It launched previously in the States on

a

subscription platform (www.vzones.com).


VirtualZones will soon be spawning a number of parallel themed virtual

community

environments. If not topping the charts, it is certainly one of the most

interactive and advanced avatar-based virtual communities on the net.


If you want more info feel free to get in touch.
