Welcome Walkway New Member Area

Welcome Walkway New Member Area

When you create a new member account in the virtual world There, your Avatar will spawn on the Welcome Walkway. The WW is a special new member area where you figure out how to move your avatar, learn to emote and communicate by text chat with new member helpers called Phoenix Stars. After you’ve got the basics down, board the There blimp at the end of the walkway to travel over to the new member arrival area called Fisher Island. Thereians like to race buggies around the outside of Fisher Island. Zona Island is also another new member area that people like to hang out at.

The virtual environment of There is a great big world with several Islands and lots of wide-open virtual space. People teleport and travel by vehicle to explore the virtual world and discover thriving Island communities. It’s good to know when and where to find friends in There when you’re looking to socialize online. The best way to locate other members in There is by signing up for daily scheduled Events and exploring Neighborhood hangouts.
