Think of a name for your world. It needs to be different from
all other world names because no one else on earth can have the
same world name as you.
Type the name into the text box
You can use letters, numbers, space, +, and - in your name.
These names are all allowed:
- Girlfriends
- Slam-Dunk
- 2 Cool
- You+Me
- -ME-
All extra spaces are ignored.
Type a password that only you can remember. For passwords,
capital letters are different than lower case letters.
IMPORTANT: Make a password that only you can remember. |
|
Sentences, phrases and codes with numbers that are longer than
10 characters make the best passwords. Here are some examples
of good passwords:
- never old in the mind
- born on 2-14-1984
- free to message
- code name 4 alpha bravo

Click
AltME will now check the World Name Server to see if anyone else
has taken the name. If the name is taken, try again until you
find a name that works.
Type the password again to confirm that you want to create the world.
Click
Safeworlds will be emailing important information about features
and upgrades to Worldmasters. To receive these emails type an
email address into the box.
Click
Now you must make an important decision. For a small fee you
can keep your world name safe for a year.
WARNING: You can lose your world if you don't use it! |
|
You must start your world at least every 10 days (or keep it running all the time), or you will lose
your world name. If that happens, nobody will be able to
connect to your world, and someone else can take your world
name. You can keep your world safe for a small fee.

shows that you have become the Worldmaster for
your own private world.
As long as you are connected to the Internet and
the world is running, people can visit your
world.
Now you can invite others to join your world.
Congratulations Worldmaster! You are all alone in your private
world. You need to invite others to join you.
To add a user to your world click
Your friends must have a User Name and Password to join your world. You must create a user account for them.
To add a user click
The Add New User window appears.
You must give each user a name and a password, choose the groups
they can join, and decide if you want them to be able to invite
users into your world. You can even give them Worldmaster
powers.
- User Name: Each person in your world must have a different name. You can change the name at any time. The visitor can also change it, but there can never be two people with the same name.
- Full Name: You can also enter a full name for the person. Sometimes people want to use a screen name. By entering a real name everyone can tell who they really are.
- Gender: Click on the male/female toggle button to set the user's gender.
- Email: You can invite a person to join your world by sending them an email. Put their email address here.
- New Password: To visit your world, they must have a password. Type it here, and type it again to confirm it. They can change the password on their next visit. Even a Worldmaster doesn't know what it is. Of course you can change it at any time if you don't want them around for a while.
- Groups: All users are normally included in the All group. You can also make groups that are private. You can decide who can be a member of a private group.
Permissions allow you to control what the visitor can do while visiting your world.
- File sharing allows the person to send and receive files from others in the world.
- Control over user accounts allows the person to create user accounts and invite others into your world.
- Worldmaster - control the world gives a person complete control over the world. They can even destroy the world itself if they decide to do so. Only give Worldmaster powers to those you trust completely. Most worlds will have only one Worldmaster.
When all the settings are correctly set click
AltME will ask you if you want to send an email inviting them to join your world.

Otherwise, click No.
There are lots of ways to invite people to join your world. |
- Put AltME on a floppy disk and give it to them.
- Call them on the phone and give them their account information.
- Email them with their account information.
- Have others who are already part of your world invite people to join.
