      I've been recently on the Fiest kick again myself and your post reminded
      me of a hub world I built for NWN where the different NPCs would send
      the group on the server on an adventure (launching a module on the
      server) and they could talk to an NPC in the new module that I custom
      placed to bring them back.
      
      Certainly nothing extraordinary there but it made for a very fun and
      quick persistent style world for the guys on my server.
      
      I should think that Aerea (I can never spell that thing Raf!) will be
      rife with similar things much the way that other VWs have portal areas.
      Hosting a portal area with an RSS feed and some community tools for
      rating the destinations might make for a wonderful utility world for
      other avatars. A BoingBoing (or Digg for that matter) for the "Web 3.d"
      or whatever we care to call virtual web worlds this week.
      
      I think I've found my second project.
      
      Now to wait on that alpha invitation (I know you're listening!).
