Connect with people worldwide in 3D social worlds.
Online 3D social games are virtual chat worlds where users come to chat and meet new people. These games allow you to chat through an avatar you choose to represent yourself. These avatars are completely customizable from the clothing you wear to your hair and eye color. Most 3D social games are free to play and only charge users for certain items, such as special edition clothing or furnishings for your avatar's home.
IMVU.com
IMVU was founded in 2004. IMVU has over 50 million registered users. This virtual world is free to play, but virtual goods cost money to purchase. IMVU has more virtual goods than any other 3D social game in the world, topping out at over four million items. In IMVU, users hang out in virtual hotels, cafes, casinos and more, meeting people and making friends. Before you begin, the IMVU software must be downloaded and installed on your computer.
SocioTown.com
SocioTown is somewhat different from other 3D social games. In most virtual social games, adding a friend is done with the click of a button but in SocioTown, your friends list is based on who you interact with in the game. SocioTown also lets you do more than chat; you can go fishing, catch bugs, go on missions and other adventures. SocioTown allows you to climb the social ladder by doing virtual jobs and upgrading your home. SocioTown is browser-based, meaning there are no downloads required.
Kaneva.com
Kaneva's features are similar to other 3D social worlds, such as avatar customization and creating your avatar's home. In Kaneva you can shop, play games, meet new people, go to dance parties and more. In Kaneva, you can visit thousands of places and create your own home for you and other users to hang out in. In Kaneva, you can sell your virtual items to other players and earn game currency to spend at the shops. Kaneva, like IMVU, has software that is downloaded and installed to a user's computer before game play begins.
Moove.com
Moove is a 3D world for adult players. This free chat world allows users to meet and discuss topics with other adults worldwide. Your avatar is completely customizable, as is your avatar's home. What makes Moove different from other 3D social worlds is that you can use your voice to chat instead of just the keyboard. You can also decorate your avatar's home with image files on your computer. The avatars are designed to do a variety of movements, allowing you to dance and mingle the same way you would in real life. This 3D chat world is free to play, requires software to be downloaded, and also has a member magazine and forum.
