I definitely think Alpha World had some pretty advanced functionality back in the day. I'm fairly certain you could actually create your own buildings if you subscribed to a pay account, although I think SL is superior as far as design and other areas of commerce. I'll take your advice though. I'm not closing any doors, I'm just a bit skeptical. I've been wrong millions of time before though. Morgan,

(Hear you on the timewasting point though). Don't let the Crayonvile experience put you off. Funny - I went there once and it was totally empty apart from the "receptionist". She didn't respond when talked to either. I am certain the population still has room for growth - I think Linden need to be honest about dormant/ duplicate accounts though. I only visited Alpha World once - it was more like a much-improved chatroom in my opinion - whereas SL (though less good for socializing) has more to it vis a vis design/ commerce etc. Keep the faith in SL!
