Madelaine McMasters Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Welcome to Second Life, Willow! You needn't buy anything. Just press the arrow keys and your avatar will move. Read these... 1

Go to Second Life Marketplace and put into search "AO" and a selection should come up from zero L$ to whatever. Quick link to show some that are available. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/products/search?utf8=✓&search[category_id]=&search[maturity_level]=G&search[keywords]=ao Other suggestions may follow.

Or are me and Maddie being particularly dense and not understanding your enquiry?

Well, I can understand the confusion. Just from looking at her profile, I wouldn't have guessed she is new either. Not only because of her accounts age, but because its filled out and doesn't seem to be any different from profiles of people who are well settled in SL. 1

Oh is this allowed now? Considering how many bots I used to see with absolutely fantastic names in 2008, I would surely love to have thought up some of those names for themselves. Of course my tongue is firmly in my cheek. And thank you for some kind of clarification, Alwin. I am learning something new every day. Always.

I thought at first - with the original poster having a last name - that LL might have introduced last names again, and of course went to look at the OP's profile and saw a very filled out profile on an old avatar.

Bobbie Faulds Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 You need an AO. There are a LOT on the MP. I would suggest you try them out inworld since most of the makers have an inworld store with pads where you can try out. You can go inexpensive, like Oracul AO, or go really expensive like Vista or Akeyo. Take your time and find one that fits you. I would avoid ones like the male one that has the guy skip around.
Willow Bouevier Posted March 19, 2017 Author Posted March 19, 2017 Wow, to be quite honest I didn't think this post would get so much feed back! And thanks for the replies but I already found out thanks to marigold, even though she was kind of rude for an adviser. Just because my account is so many years old doesn't mean that I would know everything there is to know about sl. While it is true that I signed up for my account along time ago I found that I didn't really like it so I went back to IMVU. Also I have a old laptop that crashes whenever I log on and shitty internet. So I stayed on IMVU. But I am running into a lot of young people on IMVU these days. So thought I would give SL another try. Excuse me for asking a simple question.

Kinda rude? Wasn't intending to be but hey ho. Was curious. And you kinda - and others in this thread kinda - gave me more information to clarify. I don't know everything there is to know about Second Life either. I know even less about IMVU.
Willow Bouevier Posted March 19, 2017 Author Posted March 19, 2017 No worries! I know I am still a newbie even though my account says other wise. Is there a way I can change my user name? or am I stuck with it? on IMVU you had to buy a name change token. I already looked on my account here but couldn't find a spot to change it. Maybe I am missing something?
Innula Zenovka Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 No, Willow, you can't change your account name (Willow Bouevier) but you can, if you want, change your Display Name. See the Knowledge Base article on Usernames and Display Names for more detail. I wouldn't worry about it. If you are concerned that people might wonder why there's a lot about SL you don't know, just put something in your profile to say you've been out of SL for a long time. I think you've got a lovely name. 1
