(20,776 posts)For one, IMVU doesn't have the massive download that SL has. Secondly, rooms on SL have to be rented. If you buy a room on IMVU, and fill it with nice furniture, and you make it public you are the owner, and allow for moderators to help you run the room. Personally, I believe the Avatars are better looking than SL.
IMVU allows you to move, from jumping from spot to spot. On SL you can walk or fly.. but again, that comes with the massive download. IMVU can be pretty impressive. There are music players, or you can purchase music from the music store and set up your own music set. This music can be heard by all members in the room (Unless they chose to mute it.).
IMVU also has groups (Clubs you can join. Most interests are covered.) IMVU has a catalog from which to purchase items from with IMVU credits. There are two types of Credits. Promo credits, which you can earn, and regular credits which you can purchase. People will often times buy you items from your wish list. I have many times given credits to my friends who were low on credits, or had none.
