I answered your second question on my blog today:

“What will the community be looking for in other virtual worlds?”

My reaction is the same as Nimrod’s. I was first a trial user in 2003, then came back for a spell in 2007. Both times I was awed by the artistry but after a few weeks of exploration there was nothing much else that held my interest. This is because There barely developed its product throughout the years and waited until the last minute to do anything. By the time it added all the content that players had been begging for years and years, it was too late.

Lack of development was just one of the many terrible mistakes There made over the years:

Twinity, take note. No matter how revolutionary, innovative, or trendsetting your product is, none of that matters if you don’t develop the business sense to run it properly. You saw what happened to There. There revolutionized the metaverse. Others came along, copied its innovations, and not only beat it at its own game but stole its status as the innovator. (It’s unbelievable that everyone today rants that everything is a “ripoff” of Second Life as if it invented everything when its entire success was due to its adoption of There’s virtual economy.)

So really understand just what’s at stake here. It’s not enough to be innovative and create buzz. There’s the actual running of the place and developing your world to its fullest potential. Without that, you have nothing. Worse yet, all you do is leave room for another less innovative company to come along, borrow your ideas, and capitalize on your mistakes to be the “next big thing.”

Whatever you do, don’t let that happen. Think clearly about your business plan, don’t cut corners, look to successful competitors for clues as to how they got it right, and above all, develop your product to its fullest potential.

Will the lag issues be rectified soon. I have moments of smooth running and then it becomes staggered and jerky. Also, how do I take my sunglasses off!!!

I am not sure that you are aware of it but just noticed that Thereirans are sent letters to Blue Mars and about to settle there. Seems there will be a fight here between Twinity and Blue Mars.
There is surely one point where Twinity is better and that is the hardware requirements (however not too expensive to build a Blue Mars ready computer in these days).

I checked There years ago and was very disappointed so left.
What was nice is the physics but that is all.
Maybe there was a good community and friendly faces, but I never met with that.
So on my side I don’t mind to see There go. But There was similar to Twinity in ‘crafting’ and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some Thereiran as a Twinizen (already or in the near future).

I checked the gallery before the official open party. I hope the owner corrected the little problem since then what I left in a private mail. Thumbs up!
