As part of the ongoing development of our Welcomer/Buddy system, designed to help new members feel supported from the moment they arrive, we’ve created a new dedicated welcome area. New members now arrive from the Argo, move onto the Promenade, and pass directly by the new Welcome Center, which anyone can access at any time. If you are wanting to help new members you can park an avatar in this location.

We’ve also introduced a new free trial account called an Explorer account. This account provides instant access to WorldsAway with limited permissions (walk & ESP only). Explorer accounts are shown only to potential new members through advertising and are not visible to regular members.

If you know of a former member who has left, you can now invite them back to try WorldsAway for free using an Explorer account. While explorer accounts cannot build, play games, or own items, they can explore the world and chat with others.

We’re still in the early stages of building out the Welcomer/Buddy system, but we now have a central area that all types of new members will pass through. If you’d like to help, please head to this area and, if possible, park an ALT there.

As the program continues to develop over the coming months, we’ll be adding more features and improvements.
