Linden Lab wants to buy new default avatars from you
Filed under: At a glance, Real life, Culture, Crafting, News items, Second Life, Free-to-play, Roleplaying
Well, maybe not you, exactly, but an undetermined number of content creators have received a message from Jesse Linden, stating that Linden Lab is interested in updating their current line of default avatars ' ... to better reflect the rich and diverse content available inside Second Life.' While this is a great idea, it appears that the receivers of this message are to compete for the contract, which will be paid in American dollars, rather than L$.One wonders how inclusive LL is willing to be, given exactly how diverse content tends to be in SL. Will new users be able to choose Gorean avatars? Robots? Children?

"Children?"
Heh... that's actually one of my predictions for 2008. See http://adz.secondlifekid.com/2008/01/01/2008-predictions/.
If it happens, it would be the second one to come true so far. I cannot resist the temptation to keep track mid-year.
"4. Child avatar boy and girl shapes and outfits will be added to Library available to new users,..."

the odds are they won't encourage child avs, as for the rest, there isn't much more that will be restricted with the exception of the stuff that is more on the "broadly offsensive" side

Um... this is going to be false statement. LL already planned on new avatar model to replace today's avatar model for new animation support and skinning.
It could be misleading, maybe they meant new defaults for their up-coming avatar replacement.
