IMVU is an online chat room community founded in The virtual universe is heavily avatar based, and hosts nearly 5 million users daily. Signing up is free, and avatars can chat with people around the world in chat rooms and chat groups that are based in every location that can be created. On the website, it reads that this is a social network where players can make real, lasting friendships and relationships and creativity pays, literally, as real cash can be earned from the items and characters that users make.
Avatar creation is relatively simple. Choose a gender, then start customizing. Maneuvering the character while designing was clunky, and it was difficult to see what hairstyles and accessories like earrings looked like from the side because the character focuses on the user during the turn instead of looking straight ahead. The hairstyles came in natural colors as well as neon pinks, reds, blues, and purples. The range from plain everyday ponytails to hip asymmetrical bobs to voluminous curls.
As for clothing, there were around 50 different pieces to choose from including tops, bottoms, and shoes. After the avatar has been created, enter a name for the avatar, your name and email address and your account is created. For the desktop app, Windows 7 or later with at least mb of RAM free is required.
Each chat room has an introductory info box that you can view before you go in. Here, you can see the language that players will be speaking, player usernames and countries, ages, genders, and the option to add them as a friend.
You can also see if the room is at capacity, and most cap at 10 people. Rooms can be designed to look like real places and landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Times Square, or a player can make an original area like a park, a pool, or a seemingly endless hallway where pink glittery hearts will cascade on loop.
