Ossian1488303077 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I have to say, the new signup page is pretty slick. https://join.secondlife.com/Nice work, whoever did it!(Parenthetically, I had no idea where to put this thread.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claireschen Hesten Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 i have to agree it a big improvement on all the previous sign up pages, is it me or is the male version of the female rocker Av no longer available as an option anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Clarence Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Makes me want to run out and get an alt. PS I see Wasted123987674 is available. I wonder who the other 123987673 are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blot Brickworks Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Yes I like it but it's a pity your new avi won't move that way without an AO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peewee Musytari Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I just tested it and its way more simple, interesting that you don`t need to do email activation anymore either...It said I was activated at the end of registration.

Darrius Gothly Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Now we need Furries, Tinies, slave girls, Evil Warlords, Gnomes, Fairies, Insectoids .. and a few dozen other "Specialty" types for Starter Avatars. This is after all the "Land of Imagination" .. so let's imaginate some neat stuff at the door too! But overall .. Yeah! I do like that much better. Well done WhoTheHeckDidThis Linden!

Lynda Klossovsky Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 <Rant starts here> Hey! No fair..I say you should entirely ban this page, due to the fact that it is discriminating against anthro,s insects, alien species, sea creatures, and furries in general. !!! What happened to animal rights i say..don't we even get a look in anywhere ? we used to, but the starter ones were a little basic.. <End rant> Oh by the way, the student female one looks cute.

Venus Petrov Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Ditto on the AO comment. /me laughs..if only.... But, yes, nice redesign and should make it easier for new folk to 'envision the possibilities'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Brynner Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Wow wow wow, the recent fasion of last decade has arrived in SL? hahah Technically it looks great i have to say, but the fashion, oh dear... I did wear such 5 years ago in RL really ahem, sorry. However the page itself, cool ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Void Singer Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 the movement is good... but they need to include an AO in those starter avs if they are going to show that sort of movement (that is OBVIOUSLY not the default anims). I do wish they'd use a little bit better resolution.... all the feamle av's but one end up looking like south florida drag queens (which is fine if ya wanna be one, but I'm betting that's not the main draw for most people) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no payment info on there - It lets you choose basic or premium and I chose basic. It just asks for email addy, DOB, password and secret question...There wasn`t even a security captcha & then it says on next page...Your account is activated go here and download SL.. You don`t get a welcome to SL email anymore either apparantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WADE1 Jya Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 YEAH! that does look really good. The biggest improvement is the new starter avs. When you have to start as "Ruth" or "Gamer Boy" or some total dorky looking thing that's probably where they were losing many of their new sign ups. but these avs and the page design, how they rotate around in a cirle, and animate a bit, it looks really good! I remember when I started the sign up process was far less splendid. Good job Linden :smileyhappy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So right... i wonder what a Newbie will think, if the Av dosnt move like the one on the page :smileyvery-happy: But yes, looks a lot friendlier than the old one.

Theia Magic Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 That is a huge redesign improvment on the sign up page. It looks a lot better and is much more inviting. However, why don't they have furry newbie avatars anymore? They used to long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Void Singer Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 well the concept is ancient... I can remember games using it all the way back to sega genesis, but the most recent aone I can rember seing using it, complete with animation and full figures? a certain ironically popular disney game (ironic because it's disney) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltango Vale Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Very cool, but there is something confusing that has tricked me on other sites. Username implies a my-eyes-only account name (private) different from an avatar name (public). This made a mess of my first Blue Mars account, for example, where I ended up with an inworld name identical to the quick username I entered on signup. I had to delete the account and go back through the signup process again. Therefore, instead of: "Create a Username" and "You will use your username to login, so don't forget it" The message should be: "Create an Avatar name" and "You will use your avatar name to login, so don't forget it" ETA: The set of avatars to choose from is pretty sad. It reminds me of high school. Mind you, it's better than the old Ruth, which was truly awful. ETA: I still don't understand why there is only one name space in which everyone must fight for a name. It makes far more sense to have two or even three spaces: forename surname or forename middlename surname. This would greatly increase the number of possible combinations, reducing the 'debbbbie123' problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
