A 3d World full of Kats
Katworld
Katworld has been around off and on since 1998. It is an Active Worlds virtual world where you can walk around and chat in a 3D environment.
The theme is kats. The fur on the streets is fake fur. The avatars are tigers made by Lars.
There are not as many people in Active Worlds worlds nowadays because unfortunately they overcharge for memberships and its not very affordable anymore. A free account can be obtained but you can't build with that. You can look around though and Katworld accepts "tourists".
Katworld spends long periods offline because of the high costs but its worthwhile checking if its there. Whenever I get any kind of windfall I put it back up for a year.
Object Path Hosting
Looking for somewhere to host your object path? We can't host your world but we can save you money on object paths.
By popular request we are providing Katworld email addresses as well now. $5 AU per year. We also have "of-borg.com" email addresses for the Trekkies.
Getting into Katworld
First you need to download the Active Worlds browser and install it. It is free.
Once you have the browser up and running you will see a list of worlds in a tab to your left. Scroll down until you see "Katworld" and click on it. Simple! You may have to wait a little while for the objects to load in the world but its worth it.
Textures and Objects
Textures and objects are not available right now.
