Or at least a creation by the company is. The UK based marketing company is doing something in There and I don't know what. They have the logo for There along with IMVU's logo too.

http://www.spacethinkdream.com/worlds.php

See Above...

Well whatever it is I wish There luck with it. I bet Avalon in There would be simply mind blowing, they have some lost projects within the client which would suprise most of you. It'd be intresting to see the Go Go as a buggy in There.

But what gets me is how is Avalon gonna be in IMVU, its stable but you can't even move! I can see the clothes in IMVU but the car and stuff, not possible. I wonder if the members know about this, maybe its gonna be like iVillege but like avalon with more then one store.

Whats your opinions? I took a recent visit to There and was impressed by the changes, Astrology Temple is awsome. They are also doing something called ThereScript but its in the works. Very impressive.

I think they announced they were going to do this a few months ago.

Interesting. I like how Avalon is the only sim inside the mainland grid area.

I've been out of the loop lately, when is Avalon going to appear in There? How did this happen? Is there a press release? Something? Anything? I want to know when there's a version of the Go Go in There.

Caymen qualifies as Mainland as well. It was the first detached island sim on The Grid and was won in a contest. I don't know whether or not it was tax excempt; but imagine her thoughts when 1.2 and tierage were announced.

Avalon was the first detached island to be auctioned amidst much forum angst over mcdonald arches appearing all over The Grid. They were even going to be included as a map feature ha ha ha.

Krittiana was, I believe the second detached island to appear after estates were made available. It seems like there was one before but the name escapes me. Does this thread have a topic? Yes well yeah Avalon best of luck and all.

A lot of businesses have been active in both Second Life and There for a long time, and I expect to see more and more prominent crossover.

Considering that each of these worlds have their own strengths and weaknesses, I'm surprised that this actually hasn't happened sooner. I'd think crossingovers would be stronger by far, because they would have more experience dealing with the games? Or am I totally missing something?

avalon. new projects

Yes, these icons have been on the site for about nine months.

We are developing content in and around a few other SocialVirtualWorlds, a few still in Beta.

We haven't updated 'avalon.' in quite awhile, this is because of some RL projects that have taken us out of the frame this year; we worked on the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Movie plus a lot of other 'must do' fun things.

We are though coming back in early Fall with a new project, a new idea we are very very excited about.

The site will be updated first, and then the project will start in earnest inside a few virtual spaces.


Best

The avalon.crew has also expanded inworld and now has some new and, in my opinion, the best new talent in SL:

Barnesworth, Ingrid, Toast, Nylon

Fizik, this is great news! not which of least is that you had a hand in "Hitchhiker's Guide..."!

but anyhoo, i recently visited Avalon.. even bought a Go Go (planning on giving it to the first person i helped as a Greeter) on a whim.

i'm excited to see what your team comes up with next.. and congrats to both you and your new team members for their inculsion into your "fold".

Um, so whats going on with it? Is Avalon going to be coming to There or what? That'd be fun to drive a Go Go with There's phyisics. Do they know anything, is there some offical project going on with Makena Technologies (New Owners Of There)?
