What’s new in Avatar Towns?

February 22, 2008 on 10:52 am | In Features, Fun Stuff | Add a Comment

Back in November, we told you about a new place you could visit to outfit your digital self: Avatar Towns. The team recently added some new shops and features.

Drop in on the “Pet Pals” store to find just the right animal to hang out with you. The gorilla and iguana are my favorites, but there are plenty of cats and dogs that need a companion too. Want to make sure you look your best out in this virtual world? Head over to the new Ocean Breeze Salon to find just the right hairstyle, bag and bling.

There are also a couple new features, including a day and night version of the town, depending on when you visit. Will you wear your sunglasses at night?

And when you come across that must-have shirt, pet, or accessory, just add it to your Avatar, then hover your mouse on the item and choose “Add to Favorites”. When you visit the Yahoo! Avatars website in the future, just select the “Favorites” tab near the top of the page to see your stuff.

We hope you enjoy your trip to Avatar Towns. Visit anytime,

Sarah Bacon
Product Manager

  19. I think you should add more interesting things or maybe like chating and mabe our avatars could move that would be so AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Comment by Megan — March 15, 2008 #

  20. epic fail: a waste of flash coding imo. If Yahoo is going to compete with the avatar giants such as SecondLife and IMVU, they need to completely abolish the avatar system and start fresh.

    Comment by JoeBonk — March 31, 2008 #

  21. i think they need to add more on. life gets boring. u need to be able to do more stuff with ur avatar and with ur friends.

  25. Whats the point of this AvatarTowns?
    Its kinda like a barbie. It doesnt do anything but takes up your time in changing its appearance.

    Comment by Audrey — October 17, 2008 #

  26. i think that you should have different places where you can go and have chat aswell

    Comment by Rayneace — October 27, 2008 #

  27. cool…but can you chat as well?

    Comment by Hannah — February 5, 2009 #

  28. i would luv if they had some more stores in avatar town that wuold be awsome.

    Comment by jalysha — February 18, 2009 #

  29. Avatar town should get more sunglasses and a shoe store because not to long ago I just logged off of Avatar town after loking for better sunglasses and At least one pair of shoes

    Comment by Katlyn — March 1, 2009 #

  30. I love avatar town but i think you should make other places like a beach.

    Comment by Autumn — March 18, 2009 #

  31. i dont like it there could be way more stuff added to it like malls, food courts, places to feed your pet and play with your pet, parks to take a walk, and maybe cars to drive around. there should be different states and countries in avatar town that you can sight see in. avatar town could be better.
