Obviously we don't have item making here, but if any of them like avatar forums send them this way. lol
We've gotten a little slow recently..

Posted in did zantarni shut down?
Posted 1 week ago
I was looking around yesterday and it looks like a lot of places have closed recently. Caedon seems to be closed too. Such a shame.
Solia Online seems to still exist, except none of the buttons work? So weird.
My old favorite was Syndrone, but they shut down like 6 or 7 years ago. Such a cool community there though.
~ I hope Voltra gets some of the users and we can get a bit more popular now! ~

If you're interested in making clothes I remember it being fun on there.
I also made clothes for Virtual Popstar a few years back, but I remember it being a very elitist group that didn't really want new people coming in and making items. It wasn't a welcoming community over there in my experience.
If you practice making items enough you can start making them for sites like this one eventually. I designed a few items on bere before I moved to the writing team. But that was in the first year of the site, I'm not on staff anymore. Still, if you keep practicing you'll find a lot of opportunities out there!

I could spend hours making avatars! I tried to get every item that was ever made at one point, but I'm sure I've missed too many now. lol

Hey there! How are you doing?
On the first page you mentioned crafts, I'm a big crafter myself. I do crochet, latch hook, cross stitch, weaving, sometimes jewelry... probably more lol
I used to draw a lot, especially avatar art, but it's been a few years.

I don't know if it's still an active game, but years ago I made and sold clothes on IMVU, and you could also sell in game currency for real world money within the game. No idea if that's still allowed, but I made real and in game money at the time.
There were ways to do just the art but also ways to do 3d modeling and creating brand nee items as well. It's pretty advanced though.

Hey there! How is everyone?
I was cleaning out old photos on my phone and I have a bunch of art from here saved onto my phone and felt really nostalgic. I really miss talking to everyone! I don't really have anyone I talk to anymore.
I moved to the Saint Louis area in August last year with my sister, which has been a fun adventure; but all my friends are back home. I've been streaming a lot lately, but I don't really have any followers, so I basically just talk to myself for a hour while playing games.
I also haven't been doing much art since I left the site. I still do a lot of crafting, but my creativity sure went down without you all encouraging me. I've been feeling like things just haven't been the same without you all! I hope some people are still around!

How long should they be re-released for?
More limited releases would probably make them feel more like special events, but long enough for people to have a chance to get them. Or maybe announce that it’s coming up enough in advance for people to prepare.
Would you be interested in new recolors, original copies, or both?
As an owner of most (maybe all) the items from the first few years, I have absolutely no problem with releasing older items in their original colors. However, recolored would be really amazing to see!
What is a respectable asking pricing in voltra currency?
Rereleasing items in the original colors I think should be done with some kind of inflation in mind. I still use the price guide all the time. I wouldn’t mind if recolors were released at a normal price. ie, a recolored crate released at the normal crate price.
How should pricing be adjusted for older/Rare items?
I guess just pick a % to increase the price from the original for each month and do the math for each item. But maybe cap it at a certain amount so it doesn’t get too ridiculous.

Hey, sorry I disappeared everyone.
I got kinda busy for a while and then some things happened and I got really depressed and stopped going online at all really. Except for streaming gaming, I really fell into a gaming funk and didn't want to do anything but play games and take my mind off things.
My grandma died a few months ago and it really hit me hard. I did get to visit my other grandma last month which was amazing! But it also sort of made me more depressed about my other grandma. So... I don't know... I've just been really depressed and out of it lately.
Anyway, I planning to come in and chat with people occasionally, so I hope to see you around!

@star2000shadow: good characters can really make a show.
I’ve definitely watched boring shows because I love the characters so much I’m still totally engaged

@star2000shadow: message sent
I’ve been working hard making items for Halloween and I did 2 November donation items. I’m pretty excited about it. ^^
The coding is very old though, so uploading items has been…. Interesting… XD
I don’t know Warehouse thirteen, but google says it’s sci-fi so I’d probably like it. What do you think of it?

@star2000shadow: I’m glad you’re on the mend! I want you feeling all better!
We aren’t allowed to advertise other avatar sites, so I’m not sure if I’m allowed to say… but I can message you the name of you’re interested. It’s an old one from 2006 (I think) that I never heard of. Probably because I was on Gaia back then. But it’s very cute and has retro avatar site vibes that are very nostalgic
