I
use both Worlds and Rose on a regular basis, I like
both though by nature I am inclined to the slightly
more intimate nature of chatting on Rose than I am
to the hectic atmosphere on Worlds. This however just
reflects my real world preferences for small dinner
parties over wild parties. I know people who use both
programs, some share my preference others like Worlds
better.
3D
chat is rarely free, and when it is there is always
a catch, so I suggest anyone considering it to take
advantage of the trial offers and look round before
you decide which to choose, think carefuly and not
just about the money. I know we like everything on
the net to be free but, consider the costs to the
provider. These communities are more expensive to
keep running than a simple text based chat using off
the peg software on a server in the corner of a data
centre. They require clever programming and talented
artists to continue developing. Some start out as
free, but almost all transfer over to some system
of charging after a while, consider this if you decide
to join one because it is free at this moment in time.
I
hope you have fun with your explorations and if you
do join either Rose or Worlds I use the name Random_Man
on both so feel free to say hello :-)
