Winter is a large historical public building world founded originally by the Titans Guild in 1996. As the name implies the world consists of wintery builds and land, also sporting worldwide snowy terrain and a winter sky box. Winter world was shut down in 2005, but was revived by Talisan and MaXPoly which has recently found success and interest through an AWI sponsored building contest.
