There are a lot of stocks out there to play, and this one doesn't seem to be moving. Volume pretty light, which may scare some away. I downloaded their software and did not find it easily intuitive. I'm sure if I studied a bit I would have gotten the hang of it better. Moving/walking was easy enough, but advanced features like "fly" were not as easy to get the hang of.

Also, the graphics were not as sharp as I would have imagined. I've played some CD-ROM 3d-games, like 7th Guest, and that 3d-world is awesome. So my standards were pretty high, no doubt unfairly high.

Anyway, I like this stock and it's on my radar, but I don't feel unbridled enthusiasm for it. Of course that may change if I see interest perking up. Until then, this may be one of the rare internet stocks that is not going nuts just because they have a web page and talk of e-commerce. I understand that DIPL (now DIPLE) and KNIC announced they were getting commerce web sites up and so far it hasn't help their price much.

I wish AWLD well but for now it's missing that "magic ingredient." I don't know what that ingredient is, but it's missing it!
