[font color="red" size="8" face="face"]Rockin Out on IMVU[/font]

On IMVU you can create your own Avatar, which represents you in the IMVU world. The worlds are
your own creation. You can purchase a room you like, and add furniture to it, or simply go to other
public rooms and chat with people. You can listen to music that you have bought at the IMVU Music
store, or listen to others music.

IMVU has a catalog. By purchasing credits, you can purchase nearly anything you need to visit the IMVU worlds. Clothing, Hair, eyes, heads, shoes, nails, jewelry, and create your own fashion style.



In the IMVU world, you can do what you may have only imagined that you could do. Create places of fantasy
or of the everyday life. Such things as creating a place like a Japanese style ONSEN.


A place where you can sit and chat with your friends over dinner...or soak in the hot water.


IMVU has many magical places.. and things you can do. You can role play to your hearts content..


Or Just be with good friends... and have memories that last a life time.


I love being on IMVU because I meet so many great people from around the world. Friends in Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Russia, the UK, Australia, Canada, Mexico, almost all countries and every state in the United States. If I become tired of the rooms I have created, I can visit new ones.

7. Baby boomer has a question

I feel very much unplugged-in to stuff like IMVU. (Pardon the stereotyping in my title. I'm sure some of my fellow boomers are fully conversant with these things, but many of us aren't.) I've been vaguely aware of the Second Life website. From what I knew of it, I had the impression that it resembled your description of IMVU. Would you give a suitably dumbed-down summary of the similarities and differences between Second Life and IMVU?

[AsahinaKimi]

9. Well first of all Second Life's program takes up far, far too much memory space in your computer...

And secondly IMVU has better looking avatars to begin with. Most of the Avatars I have seen on Second life were pretty pug ugly. But anyone who has played around with three dimensional programs will tell you IMVU has the best looking avatars and the furniture and rooms are very beautiful. Its true, that in Second Life you can walk about or fly, where as on IMVU you have to jump from spot to spot. But there are spots that are designed to allow your avatar to dance, or do certain moves.

You maybe surprised to find there are a lot of plus 50 year old people on IMVU as well as kids. I have several friends who still enjoy not only playing on IMVU, but creating such things as clothing, Fast Cars and beautiful Houses. The Developers can actually make money, by making their products. Some people just prefer to make products and earn some extra cash. If you are proficient enough you can make some excellent side money.

There are so many things you can do there. You can go and dance with friends. Chat..Do Role playing. There are different groups you can join. For example if you are a sports fan, you might even find a chat room, that is a sports bar for your team, and find members who live in your area rooting for your team.

Of course, I have been on IMVU for over 5 years and have only met a few people from my city. I have met many people from Southern California, and have as many Asian friends on line as well.

Another difference I thought of, is that in Second Life if you get a chat room, you have to RENT it, where as on IMVU you can purchase a room and make it public and own that room. Not only can you own the room, you can have your friends be moderators, who have the power to kick out anyone who is disruptive or other wise unruly. On second life, you might be able to earn money as a Renter, but it takes a long time to earn enough to actually buy your own room. Most people will not sell their property, and would rather just be satisfied renting it out to someone.

I would much rather own my own place, than have to each month shell out credits to someone who owns the property I have built on.

16. fwiw, a very fast pic of me on SL

If I took a lot more time, it would come out better. I'm glad you enjoy IMVU

[AsahinaKimi]

20. Its not bad but...I like the IMVU avatars better.. let me find one of me of late..

Okay I just took this photo, just now.

[Jim Lane]

36. Thanks for the information!

I've had it in the back of my mind that someday I might look into Second Life, but I'd never heard of IMVU. Now, if I ever decide to go that route, I'll know to check out both of them.

[AsahinaKimi]

52. Thats great... Maybe we should start a DU CHAT room...

It doesn't even need to be a room. It could be a campfire on a beach!

[steve2470]

61. good idea, i'm in ! nt

[blogslut]

8. Yay!

Cool stuff, Kimi. :3

[AsahinaKimi]

13. thank you!

[steve2470]

10. Happy 20K posting celebration ! nt

[AsahinaKimi]

55. Thanks so much..

[BlancheSplanchnik]

73. oh how cool!

Reminds me of the movie--Mongol. Which was very cool.

[AsahinaKimi]

74. Maybe you will come and visit with us too?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

75. heyyy Kimi--thank you! this is pretty cool!

I was on SL a *while* ago..... years, actually!

I have to admit, I was only into it for a little bit....then got kind of bored.

Might be different though, with other COOL DU PEEPS!!!!!!!! Lol!

Any fat old broad avatars?

[AsahinaKimi]

78. you can anything you wish

and we will always welcome you!

[rurallib]

11. Love your posts Kimi - keep it up!

[AsahinaKimi]

12. aw thanks...

You know, I have a friend who is in the hospital for Cancer.. and has just started Chemotherapy. She is so lucky that she can bring her lap top and play on IMVU, and be with her friends when she is in a time of great pain, and scared about her future. It allows her to look forward to signing on and being with us, after her grueling day.

[antiquie]

14. Congratulations and thank you

for all you have shared.

[AsahinaKimi]

53. You are welcome!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

15. that is fantastic! really ... just

Wow!

Congrats on 20K

[AsahinaKimi]

Best wishes, hunter.

(Yet another "very dangerous fellow when he doesn't know what he's doing...&quot

[AsahinaKimi]

56. Thank you!

[davidpdx]

18. Hey where's the hattip?

Hmmph!

[Arcanetrance]

19. I've still yet to try IMVU I know alot of people that do it but I've never gotten around to it

But congrats on 20,000 and Godzilla as a pet is awesome

[AsahinaKimi]

21. Oh! Should at least load it up and try it...

It took me five years to perfect my avatar the way I wanted it to be, but...that comes with experience..and finding the right developers who had the best stuff. BY the way, the Godzilla was custom made. Some times developers will take requests! I also had
Kilowog made for my green lantern room.

[Arcanetrance]

24. A green lantern room that's cool

[AsahinaKimi]

60. Just as fun as role playing TOMB RAIDER

[Dash87]

25. I have like 2 hrs on The Sims 3, which is what this looks like.

But that was just building a house.

[AsahinaKimi]

26. I only did sims once...

It was the city thing. You could create tornadoes..monsters invading the city. It got kind of boring after awhile. I like interaction between people. I am a mod in a room right now... with a bunch of silly girls..still kinda fun.

[Phentex]

27. Congratulations!

I love your positive attitude and the sunshine that comes out in your posts! Here's to many more!

[AsahinaKimi]

28. Arigatou!

Phentex san wa yasashii desu...you are most kind!

[yesphan]

32. Awsome Kimi !

Congratulations and many thousands more to come.

[AsahinaKimi]

33. Thank you..

I wonder what it will be like to get up to 50 thousand posts.. wow. Some people are past that already.

[AsahinaKimi]

[steve2470]

44. Kimi invited me to her party on imvu

I saw her pet Godzilla and met a few of her friends at her Asian rave club.

A good time was had by all. I think I'll do it again sometime. Come on over, people

Rei chan!

[Nanjing to Seoul]

67. Kind of looks like every women I've met in Korea and China over the past six years.

Pretty though.

[Locut0s]

47. Congrats on the milestone Kimi!...

I've never gotten into the whole virtual online community thing, aside from forums but I can understand their appeal. It's great that you have such a place and enjoy meeting people there! Before they went 3D and in fact even 2D there were MUDS and MOOs online that consisted of text based online communities where people roll played. They were all the rage back in the 90s. I understand some of them still exist.

[AsahinaKimi]

48. Before IMVU for me, there was TALKCITY.

I used to hang out there and chat with people, that is ..until the place was bought up by some Christian organization that banned certain words and word usages. Infact, I had heard that after I left they were trying to make people pray before they entered a chat room, and I am sure that sunk them even lower in population numbers.

I always thought IMVU would be great to have a DU chat room. I would even set it up if I knew members from here would go there. Not sure if it would interest Skinner or not.

[NuclearDem]

49. Oh dear God, another thing to get addicted to.

Must...resist...

(Congrats on the milestone!)

[AsahinaKimi]

51. Reistance is Futile...
