Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about switching

Yes, absolutely! Registration, avatar creation, exploration, socializing, and basic gameplay are completely free forever. Unlike IMVU's VIP membership ($9.99/month), you never need to pay to access core features.

Optional paid items include:
• Land rental (starting at $5/month for your own region)
• Premium content from creators in the marketplace
• Voluntary donations to support the platform

But you can enjoy the full experience without spending a penny!

Direct transfer isn't possible because IMVU uses a proprietary 2.5D system while Alife Virtual is true 3D. However:

• Alife Virtual offers thousands of free avatar customization options to recreate your look
• Our marketplace has extensive fashion, hair, skin, and accessory options
• Many creators offer similar styles to IMVU's catalog
• You can upload custom 3D models and textures

Most users find they can recreate (and often improve) their IMVU avatar within an hour of joining!

IMVU's approach: Pre-rendered 2.5D "rooms" that you teleport between. Your avatar is essentially a posed 3D model in a static background. Limited movement and interaction.

Alife Virtual's approach: A fully explorable, seamless 3D world where you can:
• Walk, run, fly, drive, swim anywhere
• See other avatars moving in real-time
• Explore 840+ interconnected regions
• Discover places organically by traveling
• Build structures, vehicles, and interactive objects
• Experience realistic physics and lighting

Think of it as the difference between a slideshow and a video game world!

Yes, Alife Virtual is primarily aimed at adults (18+).

Similar to IMVU, we support:

• Zero tolerance for illegal content
• Quick response to abuse reports

You have full control over your experience and can choose which types of regions to visit.

• CPU: Intel Core i3 or equivalent
• RAM: 4GB (8GB recommended)

Currently, Alife Virtual is desktop-only (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Why desktop-only?
Our full 3D world with high-quality graphics requires more processing power than mobile devices currently offer. IMVU can run on mobile because it uses pre-rendered 2.5D rooms - we provide a much richer 3D experience.

Future plans:
We're exploring mobile companion apps for chat and marketplace browsing, but full 3D world access will remain desktop-focused to maintain quality.

Good news: Most modern laptops (even mid-range models) can run Alife Virtual smoothly!
