From our office cave in Sweden we can see how people start to enjoy the newly arrived spring weather while we continue our work on building the applications platform for Avatars United (AU). In the real world people often go to the same places to do completely different things. Some people might hang out in the park to relax while others might go there to exercise. Funnily enough MMOs and even AU work in the same way. Last post we told you guys about our upcoming applications platform. This time we’re going to tell you how applications could bring cool things to you!
With applications AU will allow each and every one of you to install and un-install stuff relevant to your interest. If you’re into statistics and comparing your performance to that of others, you might want to un-install the blog application to go for other applications out there to meet your needs. If on the other hand you’re more into the social side of your MMO you could go ahead and install applications to discover and share stuff with your friends and the broader community. Our vision is to allow you to adapt AU to your individual needs.
Together with the launch of applications on AU we will also be giving you all additional options in terms of customizing your profile pages. We originally launched with three main themes that we now will be extending to allow you to redesign the look of your individual avatar profile pages with more of our home made artwork.
Simply put most of the changes we have been working bringing to AU are ultimately about giving you guys more choices. Don’t hesitate to comment or to email us if you have ideas on expression through applications and customization. We’d also like to thank you for the emails we have received since the last post. Keep’em coming!
