AlphaWorld is the flagship world of the Active Worlds universe. It is also the largest in existence. Before the creation of AWGate, AlphaWorld was the "main" world in which all citizens would arrive and was for a time the only world available. There are fifteen major cities and four fictional nations.

Consisting of over 217,100,000 objects in a land area equivalent to over 165,647 square miles(approx. 406 miles across), AlphaWorld is seemingly endless. To see everything in this world, which is larger than the U.S. State of California, would be a colossal undertaking.

In February 2008, an object path update took place, the first in several months, adding many new objects.

[edit] History

AlphaWorld was opened in 1995 with the release of Active Worlds, the software itself was also called AlphaWorld at first. It was the one and only public building world for some time until others such as Colony, Winter and Yellow came in the picture.

AlphaWorld is also home to the largest city in Active Worlds, SW City.

[edit] Community

Alphaworld has a small but diverse community of citizens and builders who have different goals and reasons for residing primarily within Alphaworld. Most existing Alphaworld groups are there because of their long historical presence in the world, but several individuals and groups take advantage of the limited nature of Alphaworld's object path and building rights to create a challenging and unique building environment.

[edit] Nations

Because of it's huge size, Alphaworld does not have an organized set of countries. Instead, cities such as SW City, Dart City, and Horizon City, are considered to be city-states. Political entities such as the Scarabian Republic and the Dart Empire to which are both a collection of city-states are considered the "countries" of Alphaworld.

[edit] AlphaMapper

A map (utilizing the Google Maps API) is available which details the entire world at the AlphaMapper website. The map is rendered entirely in 3D, which is noticeable when viewing large mountains or towers as a shadow is present.

[edit] Recent Updates

Recently, AlphaWorld has been getting more attention than before. In that light, certain features that it lacked were added and improved. AlphaWorld now has global chat (accessible by saying "^jc") and jump points thanks to Eclipse Evolution. As well as the new bot features, Tourists can join the fray and build in the world's largest virtual world!
