Other perks that came with being a pro developer: I remember back in the day wanting to decorate my UI with Christmas-themed UI skins. This was an awesome feature because it allowed you to customize the skin of IMVU. One important difference was that the IMVU version of 2006 had an inventory section for “UI Skins”. The inventory was not yet integrated into the chat window. The chat was a separate window like in the picture above and lo and behold, the IMVU cafeteria is a classic room, but back in the day, it was both really awesome and very boring due to the lack of rooms on IMVU. It’s very strange compared to what we have today, but back then, there weren’t many items in the shop and people would keep small friends list. The messenger itself had two categories like in the picture above, one for “buddies” and one for “inventory”. The IMVU client was a simple program much like other messenger application from around that time (MSN, Yahoo messenger). I had many memories of old stuff and I tried researching to provide images that could accurately describe what it used to look like back in 2006 and the following years.
Note: The following article is written from my own experience.
If you’re curious to know how IMVU used to be back in my time, keep on reading (or just look at the pictures :D). I joined IMVU in 2006 and everything back then was much different! From the way the client looked, how shopping was done and even what kind of upgrades you could buy for your avatar. Have you ever wondered how IMVU used to be over 10 years ago? 15 years ago? We’ll dive deep into it! 😀
