IMVU Etiquette 101: The Do’s and Don’ts of IMVU Written By: LlAzlianal Unless you know someone who has played IMVU for a year or more, it can be a little difficult getting used to what to do. IMVU is a world where you can create a whole different life for yourself. A lot of people, including myself, con- sider it an escape from the real world. Now, since I’ve been on IMVU for almost 8 years, I’ve picked up on some Do’s and Don’t tips that I’d like to share when you’re joining this gaming platform. Don’t : - - - - - - Ask people for credits Ask people for gifts Go in chat rooms and say nothing/park Spam people in a chatroom Bully or Troll other people Touch people without asking Do : - Make new friends in chat rooms, greet others, socialize - Be respectful when making friends - Create your own look, don’t try to copy someone else's - Decide what it is on IMVU that you like to do to enjoy your spare time - Be careful clicking on links, especially if you think there from scammers - Watch language around young people - Consider getting AP (If you’re 18+) - Purchase your name as soon as you can (People as- sume if someone has “Guest_” next to their name, that their new/noob.) Overall, IMVU is a place where you can do whatever you want. But, let’s all make sure we are respectful when doing so, and have the most fun because everyone uses this platform as a way to escape their reality. Cheers to IMVU, Readers! 12
