Xanadu Adventure and Role Playing Scene

Xanadu Adventure and Role Playing Scene

To all who are into Role Playing Games (RPG) or Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG) but rather than doing all the fighting  for quests and survival are more into simply experiencing the scene, capturing the moments, making videos,  or their very own movies, and meeting people with the same interest as you are, while making the scene even more real by exchanging ideas and stories. This scene fits you right. Xanadu gives you that sense of either being that damsel in distress waiting for your knight in shining Armour to come and rescue you, or you could be that mighty knight in shining Armour, king or prince, whatever you’d like to become that suits you — be it! Only there’s a limitation, because this scene is classified for adult players due to some scenes, and level of violence that not be suitable to minors. As expected this scene is within the 3D virtual World of IMVU.

Shanti's Place

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

After a long tiring day at the university online, Red Butterfly and I have decided to take a break. And so we’ve decided dine out and we’ve chosen to go to our common favorite place, Shanti’s Place. The manager and the stuff of the Club and Resto Bar are awesome. Shanti’s place is one of the friendliest places there in IMVU land and the staff are really accommodating. Red Butterfly and I have made a few friends like Add, Syrn, Wolf, Knight, Blue, The Candy Family, etc. We love the food here and as well as the drinks, because they patronize non alcoholic beverages. Although if you (more…)

The New Beginning

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Just like getting an online university degree, I wanted to start this new virtual life right, I don’t want this to be like how it’s like with other people who have just found something new to play for pleasure, or to explore and meet new friends virtually. Well, I have nothing against that, in fact I am open to meeting and making new friends, but not someone special.
I have Red Butterfly and she’s all that I’d ever want to spend and share everything with. I don’t want this to be just another virtual or online game that we play. We are already engaged in real life and I want to make it the same virtually. And so I proposed to Red Butterfly by giving her a ring and asking her to marry me. I wanted to take her to a place that is romantic and beautiful, but I dunno, no matter where I looked I couldn’t seem to find the perfect place. Everything always looked so common and plain, or maybe they’re just always out stood by my baby’s beauty. Her smile alone lights up every place that we went to… (more…)

The Virtual World and Environment

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008
Before I go to the topic about my avatar, I would like to talk about the Virtual World and environment in which my Avatar will become a virtual citizen of. If there are different types of Online Degree Programs, There are also a lot of virtual games and environment that you could choose from, either from single player and multi player games, realms, or chat softwares that includes a virtual environment and simulation games, otherwise known as RPG interface. There’s The SIMS with a lot of extensions and you can install in your machine and run with or without the net connection, there are also online multiplayer games with simulation environments and interactive 3D chat software fully loaded with so many features that you can install and run just like There, Kaneva, Secondlife, and IMVU. And in my case I have tried most of them but have settled with IMVU, a continously growing online network and Virtual world. The Avatars in IMVU are 3D and more detailed than the other counterparts most especially when it comes to skins, eyes, and even  the rooms and clothes, etc. I have had my other Avatar for about a year now, but for the sake of this blog and for a new beginning, I have signed up for a new account and created a new Avatar named awakekoholic.

The First Journey Towards Virtual Reality

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
If getting a degree online has an enrollment process, the first step in becoming a part of the Virtual World is to create your own virtual entity. It could be a reflection of yourself in real life, a character that you desire to become, or a role that you’d like to portray in any online games, may it be RPG, MMORPG or what have you. A virtual entity otherwise known as Avatar. An avatar is the 3D pseudo physical representation of yourself and your existence in the world of virtual reality. Some create themselves into monsters, some into bots, some into elves, vampires, heroes, etc. But I chose to remain in the realm of humans. A real life avatar as what they call it. Human in form from head to toe, only an animated representation of yourself. Well, we can’t deny that not all human avatars are real life avatars, or a reflection of the owner in the real world. You are given the option to make your avatar good looking, sexy, perfectly proportioned from head to toe, or to look like any celebrity that you dream to be. Most virtual citizens choose to be those perfect characters, most especially those who dream to become famous, and some to fulfill their frustrations in real life. But still, it’s different when you make or customize your own real life avatar. Because that way, you get to experience the best of virtual world like experiencing it in real life, because you get to see a  3D reflection of you in every scene. In my next post I will be posting photos of my virtual entity aka avatar.
