VZ History: Pride/Queery Universe

Launched only a year after Dreamscape, Pride! was Worldsaways first adult world, targeted towards the LGBT community. Sadly, the world proved to be very unpopular. For example, you would only ever find twenty people inworld (at the most) at any given time.
Maybe its unpopularity was because the concept of a big gay spaceship seemed stupid to many people.

Filled to the brim with... um.. compliments and dirty vendo items, Pride certainly separated itself from the rest of Worldsaway. For example, would you move locales in Dreamscape and expect to find the message "My oh my, you are looking gay today!" ?

Although the whole 'i'm gay and living on a spaceship' concept was terrible, the locale designs were actually very good. There were underground caverns, gardens, wedding chapels, malls and observation decks, all accessible from the main hallway of the spaceship. The main hallway featured a series of doors which took you to the most important locales, such as vendos and the turf manager. This hallway went round in circles and made it quite difficult to find your way around as a newbie. In the center of the hallway (where is the center!?) there was a door which took you to the underground, wedding chapels..etc... These were also accessible from the newly implemented down arrows, placed in each hallway locale.

Pride!Universe Map

Pride was the first world to introduce the famous Worldsaway UFO. The UFO can now be found in every world except for Sedu... but considering the UFO came from Pride, you have to wonder now, what the eye is really spraying at people!

Pride had some of the most original vendo items out there! For example, you could buy a cyborg to sit at a desk, in your turf (like the Sci-Fi Spaceship manager). You could also buy nekkie statues to make your garden locales perfect, and huge planets to make your space locales more 'spacey'.

Pride was also the first world to introduce the idea of furnished turfs to Worldsaway. Thats right, the idea wasnt exclusive when Club Connect first opened! Although not much, the furnished turfs did offer you a nice space view in your lounge room.

Around the time when Club Connect became New Radio World, Pride became Queery Universe - the same world, with a different name!
Overall, Pride/Queery was a very misunderstood world. Although this place was intended for gay people, you would usually find many straight people there too. Also, Pride brought some of the best ideas to VZones for the first time! Seducity was practically based on this idea, but TPTB decided to make it suitable for all ages and sexualities, giving you a more versaitile world with a greater community.

Queery Universe closed its doors forever on 20th November 2000. The citizens of Queery were offered free 6 month accounts in either VZC or Dreamscape (their choice) and Queery was abandoned. If you try the Queery Universe website (www.queeryuniverse.com), it will redirect you to Seducity.
