After players name the monster and select a color scheme, they can head straight into one of the game's many stores in order to buy clothes. Initially, new members will not have access to several shops.
But once a user has purchased membership, plenty of options will be made available. In order to gain ingame credits for virtual purchases, players can take part in the daily puzzle challenge - a mix of number and visual problems at the Puzzle Palace. While the earnings are meager, spending a few minutes a day on this game can go a long way.
One great thing we noticed about the Moshi Monsters community was how welcoming the existing users can be. There are also plenty of submissions for daily fan art and screenshots. If you have been looking for a solid community of active users to join, Moshi Monsters is a great place to find it. Run and supported by Disney Online Studios Canada, Club Penguin is a self-sustaining world with plenty of users, lots of places to explore and hordes of games to find yes, find.
While it is generally targeted for a much younger audience, a much older crowd of teens and young adults will still find its many games and features to be quite charming. Besides, waddling around as a penguin around a snowcapped virtual community can be quite fun in its own way.
In case you are wondering, yes, you can pick up some snow and throw it. After all, that's one of the best ways of enjoying a snow filled neighborhood right? In Club Penguin, it is snow all year round and there is an instant button for the "throw snowball" action. This instantly turns your mouse cursor into a targeting reticule and you can launch a snow ball in the area you click.
The sites' many locations have ice forts and plenty of other obstacles for players to use in snowball fights. You can also toss a snowball at some of the objects in game just to see what happens throw one in the mine generator and the lights will turn on for a few moments. As we mentioned above, games have to be found. Each location hosts about one or two games that players can try out - and there are so many locations to explore. While this may be a annoying for players who prefer a quicker way to access games, we found it quite refreshing.
The concept is so much better than simply heading to an 'arcade' location in-game which is actually a bad substitute for having a simple games window. Some games will require you play with a human opponent and others let you face off against a computer.
While playing with others is fun, there are plenty of occasions when a losing player will quit the game midway - effectively negating a loss and also, wasting your time and effort.
Penguin Club users also participate in a wide range of Puffle rescue missions. Puffles are weird fur-ball type creatures that come in different colors and have a penchant for getting into all sort of ridiculous trouble. In order to rescue them, players take part in uniquely challenging mini games -voften with the simple premise of getting past obstacles to retrieve the Puffle, then making it back to the point of origin.
As a reward, players can gain special Puffle rescue stamps. Rescuing Puffles is a major feature of the game and in order to access some of the bigger rescue missions, players will have to sign up for a membership to the Club. For those hoping for some extra degree of customization, the only thing you can change with your penguin is the color.
You could wear some interesting accessories, but that's about as much customization as you can do for your character. The igloo on the other hand, is much more fun to play around with. The igloo serves as the player's personal home which can be visited instantly using the "home" button on the lower right. With its many in game locations, games and competitive multiplayer community, Club Penguin is one of the most lastable free virtual worlds online and is quite rewarding for players with an adventurous spirit and a drive for challenges.
We consider three basic factors for what would make a great virtual world: good character creation tools, an active community and plenty of games. On all three counts, ourWorld is a definite winner. The game is a straight forward flash based application that delivers exactly what it promises: a strong community with plenty of users and lots of opportunities to socialize, a large library of games that can be accessed and played at any time, and character creation that allows you to tweak and edit your character as much as you see fit.
The result is an amazing online game experience that has proven to be hard to beat. From the start of the game, you get to choose your gender and basic details. Instead of bothering you with inconsequential tutorials on how to move around, players are allowed to explore and experience the game on their own. While this may sound hard, the intuitive controls and easy to understand interface helps ease out any beginner worries.
Moving forward in the game is done by earning Flow to level up. This is achieved through a variety of means: dancing and playing games. While dancing earns you a small amount of flow, the big earnings are achieved by clicking on the games icon and selecting a game to play. The games are a wide variety of Flash based apps developed by various game makers. Depending on your preference, you can choose to play with all the titles or simply concentrate on one single game you like.
In order to satisfy its large client range, Our World's game library covers various genres ranging from simply puzzle games to slightly more challenging action titles. Your character gets to do more things, interact with more objects and access more content when you join in for membership.
The player level also affects this as well. This is important to know when you are joining public and private lobbies in the game. Another important factor to take note of is that the average users of Our World are teens and young adults. With its visual style, games and chatting options, the game has been designed specifically for this age bracket. If you are in your awkward years and feel like some games are just too adult or too childish for you, then you have come to the right place.
But despite its niche crowd design, OurWorld still offers plenty for users of all ages. And this is why this game is on top of the list. Having said that, if we were to create a separate list of virtual worlds, one for teens and one for adults, then ourWorld and Second Life would rank top respectively. The virtual community on IMVU focuses on two major features: interaction with other players through chat and instant messaging functions and selling virtual stuff you create. There is a very strong and active community that sustains its own virtual economy on IMVU.
While we are not exactly certain that the data on market trends on this social space can be used in the real world, knowing the system will certainly help your character. The developers of the game provide players with extensive tools software in order to create items for the IMVU game world.
Once the custom made content is submitted and passed, they will be available to the creator to put online as a product to be sold ingame. Also, there is a small fee for uploading content to the game.
An extensive product catalog allows players to see and purchase custom content. So far, the only requirements for content creation are to have an active member account and paying the fee. Aside from that, there are very few issues with uploaded content. As we said, the community for IMVU is pretty broad. Generally, there are two main types of players ingame: there are those who use the service in order to communicate and interact with other players, on the other hand some focus a lot on product creation, selling and marketing.
On average, plenty of players are simply a combination of these two extremes. IMVU's visuals focus a lot on how the players' looks. Not that the backgrounds and locations are no good they're okay, in terms of layout and general aesthetic value , but it is simply that players get to spend a lot of time making their characters look like high end models.
Naturally, this tends to draw plenty of attention to the game's player to player interaction and the number of private rooms seen from the lobby is a testament to this.
Second Life is probably one of the most famous and infamous multiplayer online communities ever made. The site has been associated with both controversy and fame thanks to the wide range of users.
