    01 Public Beta I


    Public Beta 1


    PBI introduced the following features:
    Included Aussie hats and bunny slippers as well as the developer program.


    From there.com Jan 9-2003
    "The There team shares a powerful vision of fundamentally changing the way people interact with each other online," said Jim White, Managing Partner at Sutter Hill Ventures. "After four years of hard work, they have the product and the team to make it happen."


    Evidenly there were many in world structures on Caldera that were removed later on. Including cute cliff like houses which dotted the canyons near Tabu that look very similar to the cliff houses later added in Tyr. Though my personal favlorite was the split level cave.
    Some features promoted never seed to materialize.



    Other houses popped up (and some othese evidenly never appeared in world) similar to the tiki houses that later gained interiors. At first they all jsut had an opening with a wall directly behind to give some sens of privacy. The one on the right was included in directories but it had no inside. Not sure if it was ever in world or not. No one I ahve asked seems to ahve a memory of it.

    3-8-03 There_community asks members not to build any more sky houses
    "We know how hard you’ve worked to build these houses, and it must be frustrating to lose all that work. We’re working on both the short term and long term solution to solve this issue. Until this issue is solved, however, we’d prefer that you try not to build new skyhouses until we work things out, because after all of your hard work, the house you build may be retrieved by the system if it notices too much load in a sector...
