Posted 3 years ago
i haven't played it recently, but from when i did play it i felt it was more aimed for a younger audience, it not bad and it had it's freedoms like being able to walk around but i just think that IMVU ages better so i feel i would rate IMVU higher for that reason but maybe if i played again now that would change.

I started on avakin and still have my avi. I think avakin seems more social in the sense that you can join a room and start chatting right away. People there don't really have established cliques. On imvu, it feels awkward joining a new room because usually if there's a group of people, they all know eachother.

Graphics, it's imvu. You can find the exact same outfits on both but they're so much more detailed on imvu. I also love being able to take pictures and although avakin has made some progress, it's not as fun as imvu.

Dancing and moving around is way better on avakin. I think that's what I loved most about it. The imvu standing nodes were very offputting at first and I actually quit going for a few months. Once you get used to it, it's actually not bad.

I don't think so. They have a few brands but I think it all comes from Avakin. I never saw a creator option.

I agree with yer opinion about Avakin Life Soli. I have been playing Avakin Life for 4 years, the past 2 years I have noticed a decrease in people in my age group playing (I am 26). Someone suggested IMVU.. and I like it alot more, though I still check into avakin frequently. Avakin life has no creator/developer program. The clothes are really ugly, tbh. The selection and style and quantity of clothing and accessories in IMVU is by Farrr better than in Avakin Life. Heck, I cant even see all the contents of the store in IMVU , theres so much! Avakin is catering more to youngers. I have a hugging pose in Avakin life I tried to interact with a friend, and a box comes up on the screen and said.. "You do not have enough clothing on to do this pose, arms and legs must be covered." Smfh...*rolls eyes* im in the wrong game! hahaha back to IMVU!

I don't think they are in the same demographic. I'd pick imvu, avikin is more childlike. If theres any comparison to be made its imvu vs. secondlife I think. But secondlife is overly game like and expensive in my opinion, its also not new user friendly, you can't one click anything to sit/put on clothes. I also think secondlife avis are ugly, and the pretty ones will cost you a shit ton of money.

Glad I read your post. Was thinking about giving SL another try. WAS.

Any news about imvu upgrading their graphics engine in near future btw ? Sorry if wrong topic

I usually just come back to my modded Skyrim when tired of imvu :)

Imvu has been trying to upgrade for eons, the new imvu desktop is a step in the right direction even if its hated by most. Its wayyy smoother, it however has its drawbacks and many of them. But thats the reason imvu is stuck where it is. Too many people are hating the change. Imvu even had a game version where we could walk around WITH our avis, just like in second life, it was short lived due to ppl stuck in imvu's current state. But it was the ABSOLUTE FUNNEST THING EVER! I miss it! :awesome4: I forget the engine they were using, but it was web based, which was sadly unfortunate, and probably contributed to its downfall. I still miss it though. However back to the topic, yes they wish to move forward, and are currently trying to do so without the welcome of the angry public. Ppl leaving etc. I believe when it happens, IF it happens the complaining public will be back.

Also making a living on SL now is nearly impossible for a noob, so I hear. Less people are using it and coming to imvu. In SL you need a decent spot to sell from, and most of the best ones cost $$$. Not to mention you have to pay per month to even get access to the good stuff + pay for the land itself which is, you guess it more $$$. I'm not sure what happened there but its a cash dump now it seems. By the time you pay all that vs. the amount you make off of things, it doesn't add up well. At lease on imvu you are able to at least break even as a noob. I tossed over $1000 down the drain b4 I gave up. I was all gun ho thinking "well you gotta spend money to make money" yeaaa, in the time that takes you could make 10 stores on imvu.
