This was posted on the FB page, and I wanted to make sure everybody got a chance to see it. Very well written....LOVE this post, BABS!!


To my fellow There Survivors... RLP has made progress by leaps and bounds. They have as much activity as they possibly can seeing as how they only have a forums. I would say the exact opposite of what you said. I am a fellow Therian and I am still holding out for a new home. I can -and will- wait for the right place to come along. I want to go in as badly as the next avie, but I certainly can take it as it is given--- a CONSTANT AND PUBLIC ROLLOUT of the product.

What has happened in the past few months?

The event team has been producing great and regular events with hosts like MeadowAngel, Skyefire, Vonilei, Soede and Francis_7. Right now you win a virtual t-shirt JUST for participating in a game that has a winner and the winner wins a pirate hat as Real Life Plus is celebrating Plunderin' Pirate Theme.

The competitions team continues with the current theme, offering people a chance at badges, virutal prizes and rl prizes. Log in to see the great pirate designs submitted by Disky, Dreamweaver, Alexandrina, BansheeKate and many more! Another challenge for decorating the open event space is also going on. Just for entering either of these you get an invite to the first in world event.

The in world open event space is yet another STEP. Real Life Plus will soon be moving some forum events into world and although world and access will be limited, it is a step in the right direction.

The facebook apps will be a great influence on what we have in world. These apps are actually the design tools to create YOUR inventory. Right now, Style Studio app is in closed beta. The feedback and testers are great. This app will be going to Open Beta in early October.

AFTER this app, comes more. What's next? VEHICLES! Garage Studio will be released shortly after a wrap up of the Style Studio beta.

Voice has been confirmed. Paintball has been confirmed. And have you seen the progress with the companion avatars and the amazing concept art that is shown each month (on forums/blog and newsletter)??? I personally am impressed with the amount of development and activity.... especially considering they haven't started an ad campaign yet.

This is not a new There.com, it is something different.. something great in its own right. I think Real Life Plus continues to show you plenty of "evidence" that it is in development and will be a kickass place. I'd say participate in the forum events, the in world events, the competitions and especially the betas that lead up to the world beta, which has not been given a date, and be patient (I heard somewhere that that is a virtue 'wink ). As a Therian I remain hopeful and excited about RLP and I, for one, will share the word that it IS looking like my next home. I hope you decide to, too!

Thanks for sharing that here! I did not see it on facebook.

Voice and Paintball!!! I think I have died and gone to avie heaven.... Its going to be such a beautiful place.

Well said, Babs.

Lets just hope a chunk of Thereians on here don't have the mindset that it's gonna be like There.com

Thanks for writing this BABS. You are a true inspirational. Keep up the wonderful work you do.

Oh wow. Thanks for posting this Voni. 'tu

I do hope there will be games. Nothing gets said about them

Yes, its sad to see There gone. This is the second home i lost. I originally came form CokeStudios so I lost a lot, but I am grateful to see some wonderful people here in RLP who are dedicating there work for the members. These people here are very kind, and welcoming. I am grateful to see Chaz, and Soede working for Real Life Plus as well as the Community Team promoting RLP and bringing us back. They are true dedication people, and I can see RLP will be open much longer than There was, and I am pleased to see all the progress they have done! Kudos to the staff and community team.
