26 april - This time Keshi brought us to the world Virlands. This world is a science fiction world , in fact it represents a space ship maintenance and repair center on a tiny asteriod , called "Alphaprime Space Portal".
The world has been built and is owned by MaxPoly (#299422), who was our special guest for this event. In 2008 he had won the AW Showcase Awards for this world.
By typing h:help you will see webpage of the Hermes bot (extended chat bot), developed in 2006 by Dr.Squailboont (#314753). You can leave this page by clicking the little cross on the upper left. Apart from that, you can also type in the chat: jump list. Then the bot will give you a list of locations where you can teleport to.

When entering we saw that it was quite a heavy download (more than 500 items, some of which were large objects), and especially because we were entering all together the items didn't load rapidly. But after several minutes everyone could see the entire space station, which lots of sounds and animations included.
Now we can start exploring by flying around or by typing the names of the jump list.... |

"Flight Service"
The entrance hall consists of a reflecting floor : this reflection is created by using a transparant floor and building under this floor all objects upsidedown which are inside this room. You will see that the gatekeeper walks around and inspects the workers which are entering the entrance hall.
From the entrance hall you can take the elevator and go to the offices or you can go into the halls of the production line with the space vessels. |

Each time you will see a space vessel entering the loading bay, and while the vessel turns around and moves backwards, you can see a R2D2 robots entering into the elevator. And finally the R2D2 will be installed into the space vessel. |
