![]() While I do like both, SL I find is much more open. Second Life has much less limits than IMVU does. Without ever having to open up a new window or tab to do so. Second Life you have a whole world where you can shop, go shopping, go to clubs, etc. a chat room) and talk to multiple people there as they come and go. ![]() IMVU you open an IM to talk to someone in your room, or you can go to a public room (i.e. The main difference is that IMVU is a 3d avatar chat software, and Second Life is a virtual world. I'm a professional developer on IMVU and have been there since 2006 (I make my living entirely on IMVU). Not bashing secondlife, because that would be stupid because im here typing this lol, but both of them have their flaws and to say that one is better than the other is cray. Not to mention the moderators were actually active in the forums and were friendly/funny and very mature.Īnd lets not forget IMVU was made for chatting it wasn't made for someone to stimulate a better life for theirselves or what they felt was better. Support is the same though, both very crappy unless by a moderator. While with secondlife you have things like opensim,avination,3dmee,inworldz and ones in the process. Not to mention that there's really no other program that looks like it and there aren't any other viewers for it. The art forum is better, even though it was closed it countinued offsite and the artists there are just so talented. And for me uploading mesh there was 10x easier there and you didn't need all your i.d and credit cards all out there. ![]() Im not sure if some of you've haven't been on there since 2008 but it improved alot to be honest, they actually have mesh heads now, yea. Both have their ups and downs and because IMVU isn't a virtual world and a virtual 3d chat the whole versus thing is invalid. And saying that IMVU has immature adults and such and such is really unfair because in secondlife and this is just me, i've had more griefering that you can actually imagine. I wasn't expecting on meeting her at all. I met my bestfriend who is my bestfriend in REAL LIFE as well. The whole things seems much more of a game than a real virtual world. These are all my opinions of course, and others may feel differently, but I really would never be satisfied with IMVU. You have to pay for VIP membership and also must pay an additional 'submission' fee for each product to be able to sell it. You can create content for IMVU but need to jump through a lot of hoops. ![]() Of course a lot of people do that in SL too, but the things in SL seem much more 'real' and interesting to me. Its great maybe for people who just want to socialize in a 3D environment and play dress up or fool around with some simple decorating, but I was bored to tears. ![]() You are very restricted in what you can do there too compared to SL. While SL avatars can look a lot alike too if someone is relying on ready made avatar parts, it seemed to me you have a much better chance of looking more individual in SL, like humans do in RL. Even though you can customize your avatar to a certain degree, most of them look alike to me other than for a few details such as hair color or style etc. The avatars and the environment are cartoonish much more so than in SL. I checked out IMVU once and didn't like it at all. ![]()
