Soon we’d had enough fun in the apartment, so it was off to a club. She just showed up in my apartment and sat down. Who is Monica, and where did she come from? We don’t know. I bought a Chesterfield sofa, and dragged it into the apartment. This is one way of buying things in Twinity, through the “Store” tab on your inventory. I was delighted to look through my inventory and see all sorts of furniture! But no, the furniture was not really in my inventory, it was in a sort of marketplace adjacent to my inventory, ready for me to buy. My apartment was in Berlin, and had no furniture. Apparently, everyone in Twinity has an apartment. One of the rewards I earned was an apartment. By the time Merry arrived and we left the orientation area, my bank account was heavy with Globals and other loot earned by merely bumbling around and pressing various keys. They are kind of like earning Girl Scout Merit Badges. And, as you progress in Twinity, you are given rewards for accomplishing other goals: making 5 friends for example, or walking a kilometer in the Singapore sim. I have to say, this is one of the most clever orientations I have every experienced. Cha-ching! I was rewarded with Globals, the local currency. Walk forward, walk backward, turn around. AAs I walked around, I was sent IM’s from Twinity with tasks for me to practice. Glenn was very friendly, but sad because he didn’t have a girlfriend. I’m all ready for my job at the car wash. That’s where I got the cute khaki jumpsuit I’m wearing. In the welcome area were more clothes you could take. I could recognize all my inventory items without my bi-focals!
Each item in inventory is shown on a large button, similar to those big-button cell phones you buy your grandparents. The inventory is accessed easily by right clicking on the avie. My avie came with a few complete outfits in inventory. Wow!Įverything set up, Merry and I jumped into Twinity.

The next day… an e-mail from Twinity customer support with friendly, concise instructions on how to access my profile and correct my mistake. Contacting customer support, always a last resort, was inevitable.
I looked all around to see how I could correct this, to no avail. The same unpronouncable user name I have been stuck with for two years in Second Life, further borked by the fact that I am driving they keyboard on a Ford instead of my usual Fararri. So I went to the downstairs computer, and I downloaded, and I installed and I opened, and I registered and promptly misspelled my user name. Serious problem, as I only work on a Mac.īut, Merry insisted that I meet him in Twinity. And the web site is all colorful and happy. It sounds not serious, like a cross between Tween and Twinky. My answer: never! How about never Merry, is that too soon for you? Never works for me. “When are you gonna blog about Blue Mars, when are you gonna blog about InWorldz, when are you gonna blog about…” etc.
Recently he sent me three separate tweets. Being terribly busy with procrastination, I never do. I am then supposed to blog about our trips. Merry Gynoid and I have a standing Wednesday appointment to explore other grids.
