Alright. After giving the virtual server more power, things worked better.
But the server still crashed. Now I think it's because I hacked around assigning clothing in the database - so it was my bad... ;) The experiments went very good though! I compared Virtual World and Pure Text Chat with collaboration tasks in a project team setting. The results are very good, showing 1) that there is added value and 2) what it is. From the chat logs we're still trying to find out 3) which factors help to maximize the added value. Will post as soon as I have the results in readable prosa. By the way: How do I make avatar appearance persistent? It does not seem to work - that's why I started hacking in the database in the first place...
