First Impression of There

After going through the orientation in-world for There, I noticed many similarities between it and Second Life. To me, There seems like a very simplified version of Second Life as I felt like I understood most of the controls within an hour of being in-world rather than the hours I spent in Second Life trying to figure things out and still not knowing how to do many tasks. The orientation was similar in that both had a short how-to session at the beginning, but in Second Life, you were on your own on orientation island while in There, most of the things that they taught you were from popups. The lessons were also much less wordy in There.


Also, the graphics were very simple as well unlike the complex and realistic graphics in Second Life. To change your avatar's body, you must go to a Spa. There are very limited choices about what you can change unlike in Second Life where you can change almost every physical feature. If you want to just change clothes, though, you can do that anywhere. Almost everything must be bought in the world with ThereBucks or you can rent them out for a few hours. I rented out all the hair and clothes for my avatar Fragollina in the screenshot.
