There lets us know about a scheduled software update taking place today.

We will be closed on Wednesday 08/17/05, 6AM-4PM PDT for a software update. If we complete the update more quickly than anticipated, we will open earlier. Customer Support will open at the same time the service opens and will remain open for a period of at least four hours.

This will be the Update originally scheduled for last week, modified in line with community input.  Thanks to all who contributed to this process.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your continued support and we'll see you in There!

Jack and The Team at There

Release Notes

Above are the release notes. I'm really excited about this! The team has shifted its efforts to giving us more power over the world around us and this is the first step. Next will come the tools, such as scripting and terraforming. I really can't wait!

Someone from Makena Technologies sent it to MMORPG.com...

The company sends the news to MMORPG.com. Its that way with any MMORPG, actually I sent an email to There earlier this month telling them about this site.

Guess it worked! ::::28::

Are You There?

Hey, I play There.com and I play several other games, Americas Army and second life for two... Now I honestly dislike SL and I have gone over to SL on several ocasions trying to figure it out and have fun. Honestly, I think the interface of sl is horid for new members. Though on this note, I would also say There.com has it's issues as well. The great thing about there.com is its extreamly user friendly and new members are almost alway welcomed by someone waiting at the new member drop island. Now I greet people over there, not as a payed employee, but just for the fun of helping out and meeting new people. The community of There is alot more understanding and open to a wider range of people then SL. Both have there setbacks and issues... but There.com still has one thing that SL can't touch and I don't think ever will, is the quality of in game voice cababilitys, user movement and interaction with the world, and the overall kind of people you find. There has strong built communitys that truly care about the other people around them. Something I have not been able to find in my time in SL. And well, if I ever feel like taking out some agression, I just log into Americas Army, or play some paintball in There, atleast I know someone is not gonna try to screw me in the butt well im walking around...

www.secondlife.com

You choose what you want to play, and I will choose mine.

Over and Out,

I like There.com

But I agree that a certain level of intelligence is very helpfully to enjoy a great non violent, adult content free, creativity supporting community such as There.com. The others may find it to complex and confusing and prefer simpler exchangeable environments based on clear skilling and leveling rules.

That's great: I too sometimes enjoy playing some: "go, kill, find items, kill, trade, kill, find more items, kill, buy, kill, sell, kill, level up, kill and so on and so on ..." I enjoy the graphics and the effects and I can change providers/games just like I want because the basics in all of these games are the same. And I don't even get really bored by fighting the same monsters in the same area over and over for a few hours. Of course I have seen quite some games that claimed offering something completely new, but we all know this is about exactly the least they would intend to do, since the worn out "go, kill, find items, kill ..." thing still sells so well.

But There allows me to create my own part of the world in 3D, in peace with no level or quest pressure, allowing me to build 3D models, use my own textures and even sell my things to other players if they like them. You can't imagine how satisfying it is to see people enjoy your creations.

I like There.com.

Greetings
Majandi

Joel you need to seriously pull your head out of your nether regions and stop podting your fanboy fantasies about a place that you are seriously giving a bad name to. Please people, do not let this one clown who most of There hates turn you away from There. It's actually a pretty cool place.



Even if this were true, which I suspect it isn't, that is one of the most heartless things I have heard on this site. And that is really saying something. For a first post on this site, it really sucked. Joel might be a rabid fanboy of There but I never heard him try to make anyone feel like $h!+.
