Online avatar diary - part 3

This week in my adventures of seal online, I’ve had a grand old time. Met some new people, discovered some new towns/environments and even found a hairdresser! I actually need to get my hair cut in real life, oh well. Instead of posting a ton of pictures I decided to have an embedded slideshow. Much cleaner ^_^

So I start my journey looking for other areas and environments, firstly because I’m a little bored of the town I’m in (Elim) and secondly for a little research for my own environment I will need to make. I came across a wagon driver who tells me I can travel to any of the other main towns for a fee, so why not. I found two new towns which are Zaid; a nice icy mining town, and Madeli; just a big circus really. Neither of which had much of a civilization. Two more ghost towns to add to the list. It seems the main place where people congregate is Elim, the largest of all the towns and the one with the best facilities.

While travelling from town to town, I bumped into someone of very similar qualities, avatar wise. This guy was, like me, a warrior. We were wearing almost identical clothes and armour and were about the same level. So I started up a chat with him. He was in America and the time for him was 3 in the morning! I think he needed some sleep. But I was just asking why he chose to make his avatar the way he did. He said he personally liked the cutesy anime like avatars of this game, the way you could have outrageous hair was “great”. He made the avatar look how his alter ego would look, in real life he had black hair, but in game it was the total opposite, a bright white. He added me as a friend so I could talk another time, but said he had to go since he was levelling with a friend in real life.

After that I wandered round and came across a barber. For a fee I would be able to change how my avatar looked. The rarer hairstyle cost more money from prices ranging of 100,000 to 1 mil. I’d rather not pay that much ^_^.

Well thats this weeks up date. One more to come. The next one will blow your mind!
