New Starter Avatars Are Here!

On Wednesday, we not only announced Viewer 2 as the default download and a new welcome experience for new Residents, but we also launched new starter avatars in Second Life Registration, which you can see in the images below. When we embarked on creating new avatars, we reached out to the community for feedback -- from current and new Residents. Here's what we heard. Residents wanted a broader set of styles to choose from, and they wanted a wider selection of outfits, skin, eyes, and hair. We also noticed that new Residents consistently chose avatars fashioned after the "boy or girl next door" by a wide margin over the other available avatars such as the gamer or clubber options.
With those things in mind, we worked closely with Resident designers Adam n Eve to create a fresh set of avatars around diverse themes, communities, styles, and better representations of our international Residents. We're excited to unveil the first batch of new avatars this week, and more are on the way. We'll closely watch how each avatar performs in the registration flow and swap them in and out over the next few months to give new Residents the best choices. For fans of non-human avatars, we decided that new Residents were best served by starting with a human avatar and then shopping inworld for the near infinite range of non-human avatars.
As a free bonus, we have added these 12 new avatars to everyone's Clothing folder in the Library section of your Inventory (check the Initial Outfits folder):
Before you begin playing with these new options, please keep in mind the most important rule of changing your appearance in Second Life: Always save versions of yourself before wearing new shapes or new skins.
That said, feel free to go inworld, open your Inventory, and take a look at your new free avatars, clothing, hair, skins, and accessories!
