	VWN World Review: Active Worlds - PFV
		Active Worlds is free to participate in, but many features are locked out, unless you pay for a priviledged account, or "citizen".
		Thus, your choice of avatar does not stay with you from world to world, and, with only pre-programmed gestures available for each one, the lack of individuality and free expression created can be extremely frustrating, and offputting.
		Active Worlds doesn't have much in the form of achievement, as such, but it's populace are always ready to heap praise upon a marvelous build, and several of the individual worlds offer experience based levelling systems with perks.
