Migration

Samsyn is going to start the migration now.

With Bruce and my accounts.

If that goes well, he’ll do a few more.

And as it continues to go smoothly, we’ll do more.

We have over 1000 to do (so far).

If you’re tempted to post a comment asking “When will it be done”, or send us an email asking “When will it be done”, or call the office asking “When will it be done”, just hold your breath. It will be done before you know it.

    If you see a post that didn’t complete it was mine… I lost it some how. Can’t find the beginning of it. Is that a sign of oldness? I was typing and all of a sudden it sent me to another post. AAArg. Hahahaha.

    Dear Mr MW my avatar name is bigman14 i have went to the invite me link, type in my avatar name and email and this is what pop up “Sorry, bigman14, something went horribly wrong!
    Sorry to tease you, but apparently we’re not sending any more invitations at this time. Please try again later.” Please help me!!!

    • #8 by Tre_Ghost on 2011.08.14 - 3:45 pm

      That is cause they slowly let so many self invite at a time, just keep trying repeatedly as you have time and eventually it’ll go through. Provided they are still taking self invites.

    What was the original conversion rate from USD to Therebux? In other words, 1 USD is equal to how many therebux?

    The last few days have been great fun. I got a few level up emails. All of my clothes are restored (I changed to my favorite Blue Pinstripe suit)! My inventory is back! (Can’t wait to jump on a hoverboard)! And 30+ buddies have suddenly appeared on my buddies list in IM. Very exciting stuff! Keep up the great work, Michael, Samsyn, and Bruce. It would be cool to have a ‘meet and greet the staff’ so to speak on opening day of the 3D world. I’d love to ‘hi5’ or ‘hug’ these gents for all the hard work!

    Mr.Wilson Im not receiving the email for my avie and ive done the process 3 or 4 times and havenā€™t received anything. It recognizes my avie name but when i try to get my password for it it says ā€œThe information provided was not valid. Please provide a valid Avatar Name and Email address.ā€ Help me.

    • #34 by xSnoopy on 2011.08.14 - 11:01 am

      spazz,
      You have to use the “Invite me NOW” link in the lower left corner of the There.com home page.
      You will then receive an email IF you are 18 or older and NOT a banned avie.
      Follow the directions on that email and you will be fine.

    Michael Wilson. Will we be able to transfer our actual inventory items over before the world opens? Not just change me , but vehicles , guns , ect? I see no option for ā€˜Inventoryā€™. Sorry too ask again I know you all are busy. Just trying to figure ThereIM out , since this is the second time using it ever

    • #36 by Mark B. (Cowbellwalken) on 2011.08.14 - 9:42 am

      If you look at your There profile from the ThereIM link you’ll see “Transaction history.” To get all the items back to you they have to be “gifted”… if you’ve been migrated over with clothing, check that link to see your items re-gifted to you. You obviously won’t have access to them in ThereIM, but they’ll be in your inventory when the VW opens up again… in theory.

    • #37 by xSnoopy on 2011.08.14 - 10:58 am

      Cory,
      The “powers that be” ie, Michael, have a history of sending people, that ask questions that have already been answered, to the back of the line. Been there, done that šŸ™‚
      There should be an announcement as soon as the “Give” option is available for us to use.
      If you Right click on a piece of clothing you paid for you will see a “Give” prompt.
      That link is NOT working yet.
      Be patient!

    Hi, I recently got my invitation in my email, and so I went to the site and tried making a new account using my old name, and it keeps saying “Sorry we’re only accepting inventations.” everytime I type in my name. Am I doing something wrong, or is something wrong?:/

    • #46 by Golono on 2011.08.14 - 7:47 am

      Uh try inviting yourself again. I had to invite myself 3 times before the system got it right and let me register. Also make sure the account you are trying to register is the same one you invited.

        It’s all random.. I know several people who re-joined after me who don’t have their stuff back and as for original join date it’s not going by that either.. so unfortunately there is no pattern to watch to get a rough estimate.. as I said it’s completely random.

  30. #55 by Stephen Mol on 2011.08.14 - 3:34 am

    I want to know if they are migration avatars by when users started on there.com or by random? I have random buddies appearing on my list that I didn’t add since re creating my avatar, but no other inventory yet. Is this part of the migrating process? It’s been going on for a few days now.

    • #56 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.14 - 7:21 am

      Those buddies are probably people who had you on their list (and vice versa), who have been migrated. I had several of those show up before my “Change Me” populated, and all of them had platinum or gold fun passes. Once my stuff came in, I started to see other buddies with bronze passes as soon as they got registered. That’s dropped off some now; most of my 60+ buddies had been gone from There for a year or more before closing… ;(

      • #57 by Stephen Mol on 2011.08.14 - 3:17 pm

        Well I wanted to let you all know that I just got all my stuff back within a few minutes.

    Is it just me, or when you click links in there central such as “Account Info” and “Buy T$” you get a 404 error and it redirects to the page: http://www.prod.there.com/info/announcement

    • #63 by justagreatguy on 2011.08.13 - 9:44 pm

      As far as I know there is no Tbux yet tell the 3d world opens

      • #64 by Sameer on 2011.08.14 - 1:03 am

        Yeah I know.. I was just using that as an example for my question. But does anyone find that when you go to the Account Info page that it redirects to that page?

    • #65 by Golono on 2011.08.14 - 7:43 am

      Pages with these errors were taken down back when There closed. Give them some time to bring things back up.

    For the students in the world (such as myself), money can… come and go (funny how alcohol does that). Will we be able to say… Pay one month, miss a month (and not have access to the account) and then pay the next month and have access again…

    This feels like a stupid question, but I felt like asking it… As I saw ‘every avatar consumes resources’, does that mean those that ‘forget’ to pay a month or two will ‘die’?

    • #70 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.14 - 5:44 am

      Not just students; some of us who work for a (so-called) living have that problem too, and that question had come up for me. I’m also concerned that payments will be an automatic charge (which, for, me, will be on debit to my checking account), and I have trouble remembering to record those (which can get very expensive very quickly, at $35 per overdraft) — but I’m willing to wait until it’s time to actually pay for final answers. If I can control the payment, get notified a couple weeks before it’s due every month, and revert to “inactive” if I have to wait a few days, I’ll be pretty happy — but if not, I’ll do my damnedest to find a way to cope.

    I have no trouble logging into ThereIM or There Central, but I keep getting these emails:

    (Dear justagreatguy,
    You are receiving this notice due to a failed login attempt for avatar
    ‘justagreatguy’ from IP address **********)

    I have like 4 or 5 of these and I don’t have no problem logging in.
    Does this mean someone is trying to guess my password? After all I did post my email address.
    Is there something I need to do like change my email?

    • #76 by Brandyn Rlp There on 2011.08.13 - 6:52 pm

      No that dosen’t mean that at all from what I can tell. If you have ThereIM set to automatically sign you in, then it fails normally the fist time. Then once you click sign in it will work. Or its something to do on your part. But I was getting the same thing too. ‘tu

    • #88 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.14 - 5:39 am

      If all else fails, we’ve been told it may become possible (after the 3D world is open and the workload is a little less deadly) to retrieve old avatars for which both password and old e-mail are lost, based on the credit card information used to pay on the old system — but that will cost a bit extra. So, all is not yet lost, but you may have to wait longer to get your old avatar back.

    Still wondering and daydreaming about getting to play and run around an actual 3D world. You know, the thing that I actually started playing this game for. All of this talk about ThereIM and It’s starting to feel like that’s all we are getting. I wanna hear about the world. What’s gonna be different when we get it back. Are any islands gonna be missing? Do you guys plan on making more at some point? What is the Tbux Exchange rate gonna be once the world is back online?

    • #91 by DavyRocket on 2011.08.14 - 2:53 am

      First off, There is NOT a game. That said. Not sure if you have been following ALL the blog updates since MW announced re opening There, but the reason NOTHING is being said about the 3d world is because its already been discussed months ago. Nothing will change other the dx9 support, and Mac support (Later on). Tbucks are still 1800 per 1 usd. Evidently you have NOT been following along as to why we are starting out with There IM. If you feel like all you will be getting is just ThereIM, then that is your problem. Don’t call MW, Samsyn or Bruce a liar, because so far they have done EVERYTHING, plus some they said they will do. All these questions you ask have already been discussed in previous blogs. Geez take the time to look for them.

    • #92 by xSnoopy on 2011.08.14 - 10:34 am

      Neo,
      What Davy said it correct!
      Your not the only person waiting for There 3D to open. At last count, a bit before it was open to self invites, there were over 1000 registered Legacy Avatars. I would bet we are over 2000 now.
      There are 3 VERY hard working guys at There, working VERY long hours to get There ready for us. I don’t think they have the time to answer questions that have already been answered many times.
      I suggest you go back over this Blog and read what a long way we have come in a relatively short time, before you start questioning their motives!
      I will fill you in on a LITTLE bit more than Davy did.
      There were about 30 Guinea Pigs (Beta Testers) chosen to help find bugs in ThereIM. Davy and I were lucky enough to get invites. We will probably be doing the same thing with There 3D as soon as they are ready for us.
      If you do a little searching, you will find that a lot of the problems we GP’s found had nothing to do with There but changes that had been made to web pages about security and spam.
      Patience Neo, soon enough you will be able to pull out a paintgun and shoot with someone.

    Followed all the instructions and read all the tips, but it won’t let me get past the create avatar step using my old avatar name (Fearless_Phil). I knew my old password, but I reset it anyway when it first failed. I’ve reset it three times now, and still no luck getting by Step 1 to Create Your New Avatar using the latest password that was emailed to me. Yes I’ve used the links in the email, and yes I’ve tried different browsers.

    Do you think it’s the “_” underscore in my avie name? Anyone else with an underscore in their name have luck getting in?

    Thx – Phil

    • #94 by Vaughn_2 on 2011.08.14 - 4:42 am

      Phil, welcome back..I have underscore in my name and so far everything seems to be working ok, Chatted with Ask,Catts,Brido and sonic all in my IM window. So i guess the underscore isnt the issue.

    • #95 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.14 - 5:37 am

      Francis_7 and Pilot_51 are both in, so I doubt it’s the underscore. Are you at least 18? Were you banned before closing?

    Is anyone having problems with the change me button? everything in my profile page is migrated over and my tbux is at the correct amount. But my avie wont show up and the change me option is grayed out.

  48. #97 by kazenoai on 2011.08.13 - 3:45 pm

    woot, i got my stuff back. I’m a Feb. 2007

  49. #98 by crazymattrocks on 2011.08.13 - 3:26 pm

    When I try to invite someone to chat, it tells me “The Invitation failed due to a network or server problem.” Also my buddies still say “Loading Buddies…”

  50. #99 by Lola_Baby on 2011.08.13 - 3:22 pm

    Mr. Wiilson, Bruce and Samsyn… thanks again for all your hard work! This is very exciting. It’s been so great to reconnect with so many people I had the privilege of meeting in There.

  51. #100 by jimony on 2011.08.13 - 2:39 pm

    Hey xSnoopy! They went through all the pretty people and now that my inventory is back, they must be done with the pretty ugly people.
    So you should be next.

    • #101 by xSnoopy on 2011.08.13 - 4:13 pm

      jimony,
      BITE ME!!!!
      Have you looked in the mirror lately? šŸ™‚

      • #102 by jimony on 2011.08.13 - 7:08 pm

        Why yes, that is why I figured they are ready to get to yours now. lol and šŸ˜›

      • #103 by xSnoopy on 2011.08.14 - 2:56 am

        jimony,
        The cost of a replacement mirror is very reasonable at Home Depot!
        My wife refuses to let me near any of the bathrooms, in the house, that have any mirrors. šŸ™‚
        Now if we could just get the “Give” command implemented in ThereIM, everything would be perfect.

  52. #104 by xSnoopy on 2011.08.13 - 2:10 pm

    Q. Has anyone had any luck “giving” or “transfering” clothing between avies?
    When I try, I get a “Page cannot be displayed” error message.
    Don’t want to bother the guys at There cuz they are pretty busy right now.
    My Buddies is growing but I’m not sure if people are just adding me or its due to the Migration process.

    • #105 by Striker194 on 2011.08.13 - 2:37 pm

        you have to make sure you are using Internet Explorer to join groups

    • #107 by Brandyn Rlp There on 2011.08.13 - 6:45 pm

      As far as i know xSnoopy we aren’t able to. Its totally disabled as of right now. I think they will enable it once everyone’s migrated. šŸ™‚ ‘tu

    • #108 by RichinFlorida on 2011.08.14 - 2:47 am

      i was just going to ask about that too.. if you find anything out, let me know..

      When i try to “give” an item, it brings up the web page. I can search for my other avi successfully. But the code seems to be broken. The button says “*NO DATA*:” (instead of submit) and when i try to make the transfer it says;

      Missing Input
      customAction

      customOidVar

      customStylesheet

      Im using Internet Explorer 9.

  53. #109 by Sameer on 2011.08.13 - 1:44 pm

    How do you change your clothes in ThereIM? I saw someone else changing his clothes, but I don’t understand what option you have to press in order to do it.

    • #110 by Striker194 on 2011.08.13 - 2:10 pm

      On the bottom left click on “ThereIM” then click on “Change Me”

    • #111 by Brandyn Rlp There on 2011.08.13 - 6:47 pm

      Your clothes will pop up where Striker said. Once migration is done. šŸ™‚ ‘tu

    • #113 by Striker194 on 2011.08.13 - 2:11 pm

      I hope so.. they only gave like 14 Tbux per sparkle.. and it was fun to look for em..

    • #114 by Brandyn Rlp There on 2011.08.13 - 6:46 pm

      he hasn’t said anything about it.. But more than likely I can imagine they will be back! šŸ™‚ ‘tu

  55. #115 by Cory on 2011.08.13 - 12:47 pm

    Michael Wilson. Will we be able to transfer our actual inventory items over before the world opens? Not just change me , but vehicles , guns , ect? I see no option for ‘Inventory’

  56. #116 by matt on 2011.08.13 - 12:46 pm

    i dont wanna be a pain in the ass but an estimated guess,when will the Proper there client be live??

    • #117 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.14 - 5:34 am

      Last I heard, we were still warned not to ask that question, on pain of “Back of the Line” or even “AvIncinerator”. šŸ˜®

  57. #118 by CpnBob on 2011.08.13 - 12:43 pm

    Well, as to how migration is decided, its obvious its not by looks, as MW said, cos I would have been near the top. At least ahead of William Grass here. lol jk. Also, not by age or time in There. More likely determined by the MONEY spent in transactions. ‘S why Im still wearing hand-me downs and only have 25 cents worth of tbux. lol

    • #119 by frankprss on 2011.08.13 - 2:03 pm

  59. #121 by merchantman1 on 2011.08.13 - 12:15 pm

    Mr. Wilson, I have a PROBLEM: I got invited, and I claimed my old avatar, and I “Tried” to download the ThereIM Client through the Invite email, and it stoped at 25%, and then I restarted my computer, and tried to redownload it, and it goes about 1-5% more each time I do that, and now it skips the Downloading stage, and goes directly to the Verifying Publisher stage, and once it finishes that it will give me a “NSIS Error” saying: The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete. This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download, or a virus. You may want to contact the author of this installer to obtain a new copy. It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch (NOT RECOMMENDED)

    • #122 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.14 - 5:32 am

      First thing I’d suggest (as one who isn’t connected with There in any way other than as a customer) is delete the downloaded file and start over on the download. You may also want/need to disable your antivirus while you install the ThereIM client (don’t forget to turn it back on, and “permit” ThereIM in your AV and firewall after installing).

    • #123 by trouble on 2011.08.14 - 6:14 am

      are you running Microsoft Security or any other virus/spyware programs? turn them off and try the install again..:-)

  60. #124 by shezbanjo on 2011.08.13 - 11:14 am

  62. #126 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.13 - 9:20 am

    Wow, just occurred to me — 1000 accounts to migrate with self-invite only open a couple days. Looks like a good omen for hitting the critical 3000+ paying members to operate at break-even. I’d cross my fingers, except that a) my arthritis makes that difficult, and b) I couldn’t type in that position anyway… šŸ˜‰

    This one was made just as we came out of Open Beta long ago, but is so apropos today.

    This one I made a few years back when I was feeling very nostalgic about There, and I reuploaded it this morning in honor of There re-opening.

    I have a question for anyone who might be able to answer. I am getting club requests, and I’m wondering how you go about reclaiming your old clubs. I’ve been poking around on There Central, via my profile page, and can’t seem to find the answer. I’ve also just tried creating the club over again to see if it would tell me something like, “Oh hey, you already run this club! Here are your keys to the clubhouse!” But no. šŸ™‚ Anyone know?

    I’m so jealous I haven’t gotten my inventory back yet haha. Also this question might have been asked before..but, I see how much work and time ThereIM took to get working. But now when I look at the 3D world, it seems like such a larger, more complicated piece of software. Is getting There 3D to work just a matter of plugging some wires in and pressing a button? Or is it going to take a long time and work like ThereIM?

  73. #150 by You_Cant_Remember on 2011.08.13 - 4:41 am

    I don’t get you folks who don’t have your old passwords and email accounts. They say don’t write down your passwords. I do! Reason, over 14 years on the web I have so many accounts I need to write them down. I mean come on. I have 7 personal emails, 4 personal web site emails, then my web site passwords., Than at my job I have like 10 passwords. Than all those video games like There & WOW & Battlefield. An dear god all those website passwords. You need a little black book, not just for the phone numbers to the lady’s! I use a small 5″ x 8″ A to Z telephone/address directory. Well that’s my 2 cents of info, have change for dollar? Before it crashes and we use dollar bills for toilet paper!

      Nope, UGC cards to pay membership would take away the 18+ aspect as any child capable of entering the numbers from one could then make an account. He’s using paypal only, so you either need a paypal account or a credit/debit card to use through paypal.

      • #166 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.14 - 5:18 am

        Thanks, Seg — just my way of verifying that I was, in fact, an Old Therian, not just a noob from the last days before closing. I spent a lot of hours in-world learning to maneuver a hoverboat. Can’t figure why my Boat Captain skill isn’t higher than it is, but then it took me three years, near enough, to get Legendary in hoverboard, and I used to jump/stunt off 13th Floor and board up and down Snow Top almost daily.

  81. #167 by Tim on 2011.08.12 - 11:22 pm

    When i’m trying to reactivate my avie, i’m getting this message when entering an email address. “Provided email does not match reserved avatar email.” However I thought that you did not need the previous email to access the acount.

    • #168 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.13 - 9:15 am

      As I read it, you do still need access to the original e-mail to register at this time.

    • #169 by ant1977 on 2011.08.13 - 11:06 am

      It was my understanding that you only need access to the previous e-mail if you needed the password reset, not to reclaim your avatar though. You must provide a valid e-mail address with your account though to activate your legacy avatar.

  82. #170 by Barbie Doll on 2011.08.12 - 10:08 pm

    I have all my stuff but should I have my looksets to? Or do we wait to get in world for them or are we even going to get them?

    • #171 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.13 - 9:06 am

      I don’t seem to have anything I’d have to go to a spa to set up first (face shape, build, etc.), so I presume looksets won’t be available until the 3D world opens (however, I presume they’ll become available then). I wasn’t a ThereIM user before, so I don’t know for sure if looksets were ever available in ThereIM, but since I don’t see ways to create, store, or retrieve them, and we’re using a client version from 2009, I presume this is the way it always worked.

  83. #172 by needhelp on 2011.08.12 - 9:48 pm

    helo i have a legacy account but the password i remembered for it is not working, and i do not have access to the email as it was created specifically for there.com; is there a way i can still resurrect my avatar PLS. i can verify any other information that can be asked to get it back. TY!

    • #173 by needhelp on 2011.08.13 - 6:46 am

      anybody know of a solution to the above ?

  84. #174 by Black_mam on 2011.08.12 - 9:31 pm

    please someone HELP ME!!!!!!

    If i am on there.Im the migration system hasn’t hit me yet. Anyways, when they say i will get my old inventory back, will this include all of the outfits that were made by other players, and not just the outfits sold in the catalog as the standard clothing. Also, we will be recieving any e-mail or notification letting us know when we have migrated. If not thats ok, I just really want my first questioned answered. Thank you!!!!!!!

    • #175 by thereuser on 2011.08.12 - 10:01 pm

      Having migrated successfully here is how it happened:

      First my FunPass updated from bronze and my skills populated (received email’s just like the old days when my skills increased).
      Then friends started appearing that I had not added manually in ThereIM (pre-migration) (as it finds your old friends)
      Then a few hours later when I could log in the “change me” in ThereIM started loading all my old clothes (took some time just be patient and let it do it’s thing).

      So if you have email notifications on you’ll prob realize it’s happening when you get your FunPass or Skills congratulations email…. and it should be a few hours after that if it works properly!

      • #176 by thereuser on 2011.08.12 - 10:18 pm

        and by old clothes – yes pretty much everything you had made by there, or by other players is restored.

      • #177 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.13 - 9:02 am

        I can confirm that user-created content is present; I’ve got a couple clothing items I’ve been able to put on that I know for certain were user-created, and some user-created items that I haven’t been able to try in ThereIM show in my transaction history, so should be waiting for the 3D world to open so I can drop them again.

  85. #178 by josebose on 2011.08.12 - 9:24 pm

    i dont know if the rules of new There2 have changed but MW said that when the 3D world opened we were only going to be allowed one account.(i dont see why if a person wants to have more avies they would pay that much more.)my question is if we can have only one can the way they are moving our inventory over from lagacy avies to new avies can they do the same with our alt avies?
    like move everything from my fulkenstien avie over to my soybean avie.

    • #179 by Michael Wilson on 2011.08.12 - 9:34 pm

      RIght now, you can have all the Avies you want. You just have to pay for them (when we start charging).

      Why? Because each Avatar actually does consume resources, takes up space, and generally gluts things up. If we didn’t introduce some way of controlling it, we’d end up with thousands of “Alts”, or “Mules”, many created for no other purpose than to grief others and slink away.

      So, we need a better way.

      • #180 by josebose on 2011.08.12 - 10:15 pm

        my money is funny for now so when we start paying i will only be able to afford one account.thats why i was wondering if we can have everything from our alt avies moved over some way while it was free.
        or maybe have first month free for lagacy avies then lock them and after so long they are deleted.first month starts when each avies is first logged in the 3d client.or seven days.
        new accounts must pay before they loggin i guess.

      • #181 by Eatings on 2011.08.13 - 1:50 pm

        Or even a 24/hr period for Legacy Avatars. That may work??

      • #182 by mushh on 2011.08.13 - 8:48 pm

        A better way, that allows new people to experience there for free, is to allow non paying avs to travel around and see there, but not chat, and not interact with anything, or have any inventory. Their av could be a non animated stick figure that minimizes server load.

        Better still would be to have a small area where they could ask questions of guides, and perhaps experience a vehicle or two.

        I think a free look would be a powerful sales tool.

      • #183 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.14 - 5:15 am

        The “free look” as a sales tool, in old There, turned into the nightmare that wound up costing more than paying customers were paying. Nothing prevented a “guest” (often a teenager) from creating free account after free account, even if those were of limited life or limited utility — but even those free avatars consumed server resources, required moderation, etc., i.e. cost Makena real money.

        The new version of the “free look” is likely going to be in-world videos, created by users or by staff, posted places where people can see them. There still has advantages over Second Life, IMO — it’s less load on the client system, costs less over time, is easier to learn, and has more built-in game functions (cards, funzones, quest kits, etc.); if we can find a way to make those visible, they’ll bring in new members again.

      We can, I meant

    • #189 by thereuser on 2011.08.12 - 8:12 pm

      Try going to this link: http://webapps.prod.there.com/scripts/legacy.py

      And resetting the password… good luck!

      • #190 by kk on 2011.08.12 - 9:35 pm

        Now it says my avatar is locked :/ I tried all of my emails nothing worked

      • #191 by thereuser on 2011.08.12 - 11:56 pm

        read the warning if you are locked… you need to wait the 15 mins… every try resets it… so if it said 15, and you tried at 13, you will need to wait 15 again.

      I don’t have the password cause I lost my There data due to a computer problem and I can’t have access to my email account if I don’t know what it was in the first place ~ if I knew what it was I could set up the account again and provide the email address.

    • #196 by Alease on 2011.08.13 - 3:05 pm

      Yes, ImageMaker, this is what I was asking about if it would still be available at a later date ~ not now… ; ) I do realize MW and crew are very busy now and sorry for the multiple errors in my post as there is no edit function available : (

  93. #197 by Alease on 2011.08.12 - 6:04 pm

    Can I ask when would we be able to attempt to retrieve our legacy avatars if we have forgotten out secret answers and emails? I am willing to pay to accomplish this. I am not so concerned about retrieving my inventory but would like to keep my avatar names ~ will this be possible??

    Thanks… šŸ™‚

    • #198 by Alease on 2011.08.12 - 6:05 pm

      our not out :p

    • #199 by Alease on 2011.08.12 - 6:07 pm

      I meant OUT not OUT :p

    • #200 by Golono on 2011.08.12 - 7:24 pm

      That wouldn’t make any sense.. Basically, you are asking to get your account back without credentials.. You need at least one of the following to retrieve your account.
      A. Have the password
      B. Have had a secret question set up AND remember the answer.
      C. Have access to the email REGISTERED to the account.

      If you don’t have any of the above, their is no way you could prove you actually are the owner of the account. In other words, your out of luck.

      • #201 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.13 - 8:58 am

        Actually, MW has said (IIRC) that may become possible after the initial migration (by tracing back the credit card that was used to pay for Tbux or Premium on the old account), at some additional cost to the user. However, it seemed clear to me that retrieving accounts without any of the credentials above would be something only attempted after the 3D world was in operation, i.e. the workload at Makena was reduced to a maintenance level instead of the (I suspect) 20 hour days currently going.

  94. #202 by Barbie Doll on 2011.08.12 - 5:52 pm

    I’m guess the people who are randomly showing up on my buddy list are the ones who have
    been migrated?

    • #203 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.13 - 8:55 am

      That’s what it looks like to me — if you still show a bronze fun pass, they’re people who had you on their buddy list when their account was migrated; if your stuff has arrived and you have your skill list populated, they’re avies who were on your buddy list before and are registered, whether they’ve got their stuff or not.

      • #204 by RichinFlorida on 2011.08.13 - 2:43 pm

        Thank makes alot of sense.. i have seen ppl pop on my list all day.. Only recognize a few. lol Must be ppl that just resurrected their avi and registered. I havent got my inventory yet.. I think they are doing them oldest to newest. My reg date is april 2007

  96. #206 by Aaron on 2011.08.12 - 5:40 pm

    Just to make sure, if our stuff was to be migrated would it just show up or would we have to do something ?

    • #207 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.13 - 8:53 am

      Mine just showed up, yours should do the same (i.e. you don’t have to do anything special after registering and logging in) — but it took more than 24 hours after I registered, and we’ve been told it might take longer than that (as the stack of accounts to migrate can very easily grow faster than Samsyn can migrate them).

  97. #208 by Sue_G on 2011.08.12 - 5:38 pm

    My bunny slippers survived and are as comfortable as ever! Yay! And the clothing and accessories…I forgot how much I had šŸ™‚

    Michael, Samsyn, and Bruce, once again thank you for all of your hard work. I actually had tears in my eyes looking through Change Me and remembering old times. Here’s to creating new memories.

    • #212 by Michael Wilson on 2011.08.12 - 5:26 pm

      One of 2 things:

      1. The AUDS (Automatic Underage Detection System) would detect it, and your Avatars would be instantly banned, IP and machine blocked, your virtual belonging donated to charity, and your dogs would run loose in the world.
      2. Your son would immediately age to 18, grow a beard, demand the car keys, start dating those “girls you were going to warn him about”, become a professional bull rider, and demand you follow him around the country from show to show to support him.

      Your choice.

      • #216 by SaltySilver on 2011.08.13 - 8:33 am

        MW, About this new “Automatic Underage Detection System”. Is it a Retina Digital Security scan? or Security Fingerprint Reader program built in the mouse? (Boy that Samsyn and Bruce are sheer Geniuses.) I’m wonder how far away do my kids need to be from the PC not to be detected. šŸ˜€

    MW you might have a big email issue on your hands. When someone ask’s to be added to my group(s) I get an email with they want to be added blah blah blah the message they typed and the email address will give me their ACTUAL email address’s they used to register with There.com

    As for example Scrooge asked to be added to my Facebook_Thereains Group. Now I can see his email. There is a screen shot posted bellow of course I covered the members email as it would be rude for me not to.

    Now I’m not the only one that see’s this as I brought it up to Orielle and she said the same thing. Personally my email on My there account is person. So I don’t want it SHARED to everyone. Please tell me you will work on this.

    if this has been answered then direct me to the thread. It looks like i got all my stuff including 96 tbucks, does that mean I only had 96 tbucks when There closed? seems kinda low but not impossible I guess

    • #222 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.13 - 8:50 am

      That seems a little odd, Sleestak — I “won” T$550 just in the process of “creating” my avie, downloading ThereIM, and logging in the first time; I’d have expected the same to happen with your avie. But if you’re referring to what was added in the retrieval, then that would either indicate that yes, you had only T$96 when There closed, or that you sold back some quantity during the after-closing buy-back (done to avoid leaving developers with up to multiple millions of worthless Tbux) and left that small amount (possibly because the buy-back was in increments of T$100 or larger — I’d guess at T$1800, equally US$1 — and that was the remainder).

      • #223 by Sleestak on 2011.08.13 - 11:57 am

    Bruce
    Dan
    Michael, the guy with the rectangular pieces of paper.
    What Michael has not told all of you is that he also is an engineer and serves several different functions at There.

    Now I go back to create a new avatar, can’t cause it says name taken. It’s my name. Is there a link page for me to login to, so I can download the ThereIM client?

      Check your invite email again, read all the steps first, then follow through.

    • #271 by Jordy26 on 2011.08.12 - 10:58 am

      Use the download link in the email you received instead.

  123. #272 by Indy_Lou on 2011.08.12 - 8:11 am

    Can someone help please? I get my invitation. I go to create the Avatar. When I enter my name, I get told it’s a legacy Avatar and I have to use the legacy password. But as soon as I click next so I can do that, I get told that that name is taken and asked If I want to play the name game. I cannot get to the page for doing the password. Please, someone help me understand what I am doing wrong.

    • #273 by MrScrooge on 2011.08.12 - 9:03 am

      Hmm, it sounds as if you had already created your ID. Have you tried to sign in? I see that the “indylou” avatar exists. Hopefully that is you and you no longer need any help.

      • #274 by Indy_Lou on 2011.08.12 - 9:52 am

        Hi MrScrooge, you are partly correct. Indy_Lou (note underscore) was my very first There Avie. It was a Coke Avie and as you know, Coke avies were “limited”. So I made a regular There Avatar, IndyLou, (no underscore) and yes, that one is now registered on the new There and she is awaiting her inventory to be restored. So yes, my avatar IndyLou does exist now (the no underscore avie). I also have a third avie that was set up to manage the hood I owned. It’s name is totally unrelated in spelling to either IndyLou or Indy_Lou, and I get the same problem with it. I can’t get it to the password page. I was really hoping to get them registered so that I could start transfering the inventory over to my one main avie, IndyLou. I see where others have gotten their multiply accounts up and running, so what am I doing wrong?

      • #275 by MrScrooge on 2011.08.12 - 12:02 pm

        Hmm, I would try some of the suggestions from the others. I’m also waiting for my inventories so I guess that’s something we’ll just have to wait on. As far as the Feedback@thereinc.com , I know it is getting a ton of e-mail judging from what I have read here and on other forums. I hope you get this resolved soon, I know how frustrating it can be sometimes.

    • #276 by jose buentes on 2011.08.12 - 9:08 am

      indy_lou , best bet for getting the best help on thisproblem is to contact feedback@thereinc.com and email them telling them your problemin great detail so then they can better help you with your problem and you can get into there.com, they reply in great timeing but gl they helped me.

      • #277 by Indy_Lou on 2011.08.12 - 9:40 am

        I sent an email to feedback@thereinc.com on 8/11. I’ve not received any response back from it, so was not sure it that was the right way to go about seeking help.

    • #278 by Greenie on 2011.08.12 - 9:11 am

      Hi Indy_Lou, Check your ” xxxxxx ‘s invitation to test the resurrection of There.com” email.

      If you click on the ” Help Me Remember Stuff ” link you will be taken to a page where you have different options for getting help retrieving your avatar account information.

      Make sure that you follow the link in that email to successfully download, install and run your new THERE IM.

      Your Legacy Avatar will be generated in IM and your things will be moved into place. It may not happen overnite.
      Patience may be in order here but the process IS working! šŸ˜€

      • #279 by CpnBob on 2011.08.12 - 11:57 pm

        IndyLou, you dont need to do all that. When your already in, click the There icon, when it appears with the first Avie name, just change the name.

      Did you read and follow step #3 in the email?

      After installing ThereIM, you will need to tweak it a little before it can contact the new There.com cluster
      ā€¢ Locate the desktop shortcut which launches ThereIM
      ā€¢ RIGHT-click on the icon and select ‘Properties’ from the popup menu
      ā€¢ Locate ‘Target’ edit box on the properties dialog
      ā€¢ Change the “-a xx.xx.xx.xx” part of the target to:
      -l http://webapps.prod.there.com/addrdisc/addrdisc
      (Note: that -l is a lower-case ‘L’, not a ‘one’ nor an ‘i’)
      ā€¢ Close the properties dialog, and you should be able to log in to There.com with ThereIM

        Jason,
        Did it ever occur to you that, that information was for those of us who got invites and not something to be published for everyone to see?

      • #295 by Jonathan on 2011.08.12 - 12:20 pm

        @snoopy I highly doubt it’s top secret information, besides, what could anyone do without their avatar.

      • #296 by xSnoopy on 2011.08.12 - 1:01 pm

        No one said it was top secret.
        Avie or no avie, I just didn’t think it was not the most intelligent thing to do.
        The information was in the Email.
        “Read Step #3” was repeated over and over in this blog.
        If the person can’t or wont read the Email, what makes you think they will read it here?

      • #297 by jimony on 2011.08.13 - 12:19 pm

        If it was top secret and MW didn’t want it public, why would he approve the comment for posting? He has the option of editing the posts to remove any text in any post.

  128. #298 by john on 2011.08.12 - 6:04 am

    Maybe someone should create a facebook accout for There IM if one hasn’t already been created so that people can add “There IM” as a friend. This way people will know who is online and can add them on the ThereIM client. Can’t talk to people if you don’t know they are online, meeting people in the 3d client was easy, because you could see them. Until the 3d client comes online ThereIM is just a blank screen.

      • #304 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.12 - 11:35 am

        So far, that may well be normal — my understanding is that there’s an intention to restore developer files (so you can put your creations in auctions again), but that will happen after the 3D world is open. As for items that were in your inventory on closing day, those should come back fairly soon, though possibly not all at once (depending what spells Samsyn has to cast for each migration).

    May I ask how many users There used to have?
    Because if it had about 1 million, and each player would have paid 10$/month then you could probably just make therebucks cheaper or free.

    • #315 by Tre_Ghost on 2011.08.12 - 7:52 am

      it was one million because prob about 300k were free account ppl, then another 300k were free mule accounts, rough estimates of course. But you get the idea. He’s prob starting off with around 10-20k returning users, again another rough estimate. No telling how many are returning that never blog, or how many would return that have no idea it’s reopening.

      This is the first post about a survey being done to determine the feasibility of bringing There.com back. Read the post carefully. Read the following post, and the one after that, and the one after that…

      Once you’ve caught up with the rest of the class, then you can ask questions about making therebucks free. Though hopefully you’ll see why that’s extremely unlikely.

    • #319 by thereuser on 2011.08.12 - 9:46 pm

      from time to time yes… if thereIM seg violated try rebooting your machine (start, shutdown arrow, REBOOT) fixes it for me from time to time.

      I have also found that you need to just leave it alone once you sign in…. it appears windows 7 will decide a process is “frozen” faster than XP would… just don’t touch it and eventually it should load up.

    hmm, I went click happy on my profile page and clicked my transaction history. I got thereIM on the 8th, on the 10th there was 6 free purchases for “Buy new male outfit from there” and today there was an award for a Maui Hoverpack. Were these some sort of new gifts for the legacy avatars that we aint supposed to know about yet?

    • #327 by Michael Wilson on 2011.08.11 - 10:06 pm

      Yes! Free! Free! Free! Just what There needs!

      The way we returned your old inventory to you is to “Buy” a new copy of each item, just as if you had bought it from the Shop or Auctions. It may not all show up in the transaction history, but it looks like some are leaking though.

      But yes, they’re FREE FREE FREE. Everyone happy now? šŸ˜‰

        I’m showing free “purchases” for the outfit I selected when (re)creating my avie, and awards of a noob hoverboard and hoverpack (funny, I’m pretty sure they didn’t give away hoverpacks when I started; I’d been in There for two years before I finally bought one). So far, it’s just the stuff a new member would get when registering — but I have faith my Solid Pine Buggy and my Starry Night Han will be back soon, and I don’t care how (or if) they show in the transaction history along the way…

      • #330 by softNdark on 2011.08.12 - 3:53 am

    Hey Michael I have a sort of good question maybe…

    So I requested to be sent an invitation blah blah blah, when I got it I THOUGHT (thought being the key word) I could remember my password from a year ago and by some silly reason I definitely got the “legacy password” wrong. Shortly after I did this I noticed the “Help me remember stuff” link so first I facepalmed but then I went and checked my character starting date and it says TODAY. The other avatars that are being claimed have the correct starting date, so I definitely just made a new account over my name. I sent in a reset password request on my OLD avatar’s OLD email address. I was wondering what’s going to happen to my stupid self now?

      • #347 by jimony on 2011.08.13 - 12:07 pm

        Mandy, did you copy and paste the entire text from the email as shown below into the Target properties,
        including the “-l” ( dash el ) to replace the -a and all text following the -a in the target?

        -l http://webapps.prod.there.com/addrdisc/addrdisc

        If that doesn’t work, uninstall ThereIM (wouldn’t hurt to reboot computer) and reinstall it from the link provided in your email and change the target text and try again.

    • #348 by thereuser on 2011.08.12 - 9:42 pm

      It sounds like your trying to login through either the There.com website or you still have There.com program installed and you are trying to login that way. Look for the ThereIM icon, make the Target changes in the icons Properties the email says to (right click the icon and select Properties) and then open the ThereIM by double clicking the ThereIM icon.

    MW, I want to first thank you for all the work you are doing. You, and your staff have been nothing short of amazing. I think some people are really being clueless in looking at that you didn’t even have to try to re open There. Im sure you will be making money off this, because this is a buissness first, and for most, but you still also did it because you knew how much There meant to us. I truly wish you the best in the future for everything Michael, and cant thank you enough for returning a game so many of us love, and enjoy.

    Cant wait to see you in the world soon
    Seth

      Nevermind, I should read the actual email šŸ™‚

  153. #355 by NathanAvis on 2011.08.11 - 4:22 pm

    MW, I want to thank you so very much for introducing the Legacy Avatar search. šŸ™‚
    I was able to track down which email address my avatar belonged to and luckily it was one that is still in existence.
    I also lost the password to THAT email address but with enough trial and error, I got in to that and am now readying myself for ThereIM.
    Should be using very shortly.

    THANK YOU, MICHAEL WILSON <3!

      • #358 by NathanAvis on 2011.08.11 - 4:54 pm

        Uh, thank you too, Samsyn lol

      • #359 by xSnoopy on 2011.08.11 - 5:05 pm

        With or without that rectangular piece of paper, I also want to thank the three of you for doing an outstanding job! Not just with the Legacy Avatar search but with all the other things that ONLY we GP’s know about.
        That sarcastic sense of humor that made MOST of smile or laugh while you three were there, grinding away for all those hours.
        Those great pictures that you took in Hawaii and Montana that we were all envious of.
        Since you started this blog, you have made a LOT of friends. Those of us who were, to put it mildly, very upset with you for abandoning us, now see you in a different light.
        You sir are far to modest!
        Thanks Michael, Dan and Bruce, a LOT of us owe you, big time!

        I don’t think MW was happy he had to shut There down and I’m sure he felt bad about doing it. If it never worked, it never worked. I bet it’s been bugging him the whole time it was closed. The reason I believe this is because he did reopen it and he thinks he found away for it to work and I hope that it does work as I miss me There friends! I think we all like MW and we owe him the world. He has to be a great guy. He even kept there open as long as he could when it was not making no money and running it at a loss.
        THANK YOU MW FOR ALL OF IT!!

      • #363 by MrScrooge on 2011.08.12 - 5:16 am

        Well said, Snoopy. We’ve talked about this before already and you know I feel bad for talking so much smack on MW. In fact, I wouldn’t shoot him if he showed up in Zephyr. I would rather have a glass of eggnog with him around a Christmas tree. I know, I know. I must be ill for thinking such a thing, It could be a side effect from all the medication I am on. Scary stuff! Mackie had told me that MW was a really nice guy, I don’t know why I ever doubted her.

        So, I’m sorry for being a meanie to you Mr. Wilson. Merry Christmas, buddy!

    • #368 by Kayleigh Lace on 2011.08.12 - 1:46 am

      Define older users. Are you making an ageist comment because EVERYONE (including my kids) keep trying to assure me I’m not old!

      I downloaded There IM – 2 days – maybe 2 and a half – later I was able to chat with Percy. I didn’t post, I didn’t whine, I didn’t complain – and as far as being an “old user” well, I’m older than Percy and he got in before me.

      I am sorry about you losing all your stuff to the AvIncinerator. šŸ˜¦

      • #369 by AgapeLove on 2011.08.12 - 7:18 am

  156. #372 by tech on 2011.08.11 - 3:49 pm

    I am having some problems getting back in. It was working fine the past few days and most of today then i got an “As system error occurred. See details for more information.” and I tried it more than once even tried restart my pc and everything and got this under details.

    HTTP connection to 64.124.93.71 port 52311 failed: connection timed out (for /login/avatarlogin?avdoid=0&avname=Syntech&password=********&loginoverride=0&noinstantiate=1&clientname=ThereIM&clientversion=im-2.0.9240r00) for authDoid 0, host 64.124.93.71.52311, service “login”, command “avatarlogin”, query

    I made sure it was the right password and everything.

    • #373 by anonymous on 2011.08.11 - 4:19 pm

      Read all of step three in the invite email. Be sure to close ThereIM and restart it.

    • #374 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.11 - 4:39 pm

      That looks like the kind of error that was described in the email, indicating you didn’t correctly alter the shortcut to ThereIM client and are trying to log into an old server that no longer exists. Check that you changed the launch string correctly (if you aren’t sure, you might even uninstall and reinstall the ThereIM client to get a clean start).

      • #375 by tech on 2011.08.12 - 5:31 am

        I have already done that the first time i got the email and I re did it and still didn’t work but later that day it started to work. So sadly thats not the problem I know a few others who have gotten it and did the email correctly. But Thanks for your help any way.

    How do we search for people’s account names to chat? Anyone try adding Jerry66 please if you don’t have any others to test this out with please. I don’t see any random search on this for online avatars which is much needed.

    Also on There.com I hope the newcomers that don’t think that ThereIM is what There world is all about. They will try it but might not like it and never come back. Not knowing what is in store in a month or two. Maybe you should clarify that on There.com.

    • #380 by Jonathan on 2011.08.11 - 3:54 pm

      That would never be a problem at the moment, as the people being let-in are ex-members.

      Hi Jerry,

      On the There.com 2D page under people you can search. It’s a little picky sometimes so I use the first three letters of a name and see if I can get a hit that way. So far I have found quite a few people that way. Hope this helps!

    • #390 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.11 - 4:34 pm

      There client isn’t available for download yet; the only client currently available is ThereIM — you can’t hoverboard or drive a buggy, but you can stand around in a group of friends and chat.

      • #392 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.14 - 5:04 am

  173. #400 by mystic1there on 2011.08.11 - 1:42 pm

    I find that watching the world wake up in pieces like this is actually pretty fascinating. On the last night of There in March of 2010, the end of the world was a sudden, jarring moment. One moment I was standing on the beach with my friends Oli and Celtic, then suddenly there rang out the last “logout sound” of the closing world. Instant black screen. Fade to….er, blacker.

    Watching the Resurrection is a little like watching a slow-motion Big Bang. First, the underpinnings of reality had to be created. Then came a period of adjustments and phase changes, culminating in the emergence of the first sentience. Interesting that awareness and communication formed before “physical” existence and material possessions. Says something about the nature of this place, I think. šŸ™‚ I’ve always felt that the science of human interaction that There is based on was one of it’s greatest strengths. Avatar Centric Chat (ACC) as implemented by There is a great example of The Right Way To Do Things.

    Haha, as I typed this, my Buddy List and Skills list were populated! A new dimension to reality! Yay!

    It’s been a fun ride so far, Michael. Big Eights to you and the entire Team Phoenix crew for taking us for another lap.

    cheers

  177. #407 by Eatings on 2011.08.11 - 1:37 pm

    Quick Question, When do you think There banker will be open?

    • #408 by ImageMaker on 2011.08.11 - 4:31 pm

      I have no official information, but I’d guess that will occur around the time the virtual world opens up (and people will actually have something to do with their T$ again) and/or they start charging for membership.

      • #409 by Eatings on 2011.08.11 - 7:53 pm

        Well, wouldn’t it be great if they opened There Banker already, and have Ts at a discounted price. Until World opens, then prices go back up? I know a lot of people will buy them at discounted price, and it’ll be a start of income to Makena.

    Well, I self-invited this morning, since the banner was up — created an avatar, reset a forgotten password, downloaded and installed the client, and successfully logged into ThereIM — all within about twenty minutes. Now I just have to wait for my inventory and a few of my old buddies to show up (yeah, I know, patience). First thing I need to do when the world opens is change the oil in my Solid Pine Buggy, then check the feelium tank in my Tribal hoverboard — and then find a way to get to Snow Top (if my bookmarks aren’t back yet) and sacrifice myself in gratitude. šŸ™‚

    Guys, I am having a problem and I am wondering if anyone can help me with it, so if you see this post, I would really appreciate it
    if you could post a reply and help me out.

    I clicked the Invite Me Now link, and went through all that good stuff. (I installed ThereIM, and yes I did read the whole email and install it the right way)

    I went to Create an Avatar and I put in my old username (H1r3dAssas1n) and it told me it was a legacy name, so I went to the next step.
    I put in the email info, the DoB info, agreed to the Terms of Service, and then I came across a problem:
    I didn’t have the slightest idea of what my old password was.
    I figured I could easily resolve this by just going back to the homepage and clicking “Forgot Name or Password”, and that is was I did.
    I put in the information it asked for, ( Avatar Name & Email Address ) and I got the message:
    “The information provided was not valid. Please provide a valid Avatar Name and Email address.”

    I re-typed all the information and tried again, and got the same thing. I triple checked the information I provided and I KNOW
    it’s the right info! From there on, I did not know what I could do because I couldn’t reset my password/use secret question!

    Help please! I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or something but…

    Thanks everyone

    -H1r3dAssas1n (Bryan)

    • #431 by Michelle on 2011.08.11 - 1:11 pm

      hi…it did the same to me. I just asked for another invite, did the create again and was able to get a new password. Try and see if it will work for you.

    • #432 by Golono on 2011.08.11 - 1:51 pm

      Usually I dont post comments here but just to help you I’m making an exception. What you are doing wrong is you are using the link on the There website. That doesn’t work. It’s an older system and it is no longer linked to the accounts that is why it says it is invalid. In the resurrection email sent you have to use the “Help Me Remember Stuff’ link.
      You’re Welcome, in advance. Have fun on There!

      • #433 by Tre_Ghost on 2011.08.11 - 3:03 pm

  196. #440 by Brandyn Rlp There on 2011.08.11 - 11:59 am

    ThereIM temporally turns my Windows7 to basic mode when ThereIM opens a chat or Change Me. If I close the chat put still have the program running it is still in basic mode. Once I completely close the program it changes it back to normal. But My computer see’s it as ThereIM is trying to hurt my computer. So now every tie i turn it on it wants me to do a restore and wipe everything off my computer. Is anyone else having these problems? I sent this to the Feedback email but never got a response back. Nobody else that I know or talk to seems to have this problem.

      Im on vista and it changed the scheme to basic for me too but i never got the warning that thereIM was gonna hurt my computer but my girlfriend had her virus killer throw up a warning when she 1st tried to use thereIM but somehow she fixed it.

      • #442 by debpitts on 2011.08.11 - 2:15 pm

        I am on Vista and had to turn off my user account controls. It was blocking the thereim profile, clubs, there central, but it let thereim work. I finally remembered that I had to do that to use the There 3d world and gave it a try and it fixed everything. Now I get this annoying warning that my pc is in jeopardy and to turn on user account control…..lol.

        I am not real a compter geek, I’m just able to keep from killing my baby….. But could this be the same thing I had on VISTA…. when at the begining that I played around with till I fixed by changing my Graphics Media Accelerator from 32bits to 16bits because ..now… my colors are off. (not as many options)

      Hey Brandyn, I have the same issue, When I login to ThereIM it switches to Windows7 Basic and the colors change and all, but soon as I close it it’s fine.. dunno what it is!

      • #445 by Brandyn Rlp There on 2011.08.12 - 8:15 am

        Now that I know its not JUST my computer do you think we could get some sort of support on this MW? I have tried to fix it with the basic’s of what I think it would be, and the don’t change a thing. Thank you guys for replying that you have the same issue.

        I get this on any There.com program I open, There 3D client, StyleMaker, and ThereIM it all does the same.

      Maybe it’s because you’re a minor… šŸ˜®

    Mw,

    I have a beta avatar and just invited myself via the legacy avatar thing but it lists on my profile my date of membership being today, and not when i originally signed up. Why is this??

    Thanks,

    -Jonathan

      Give it time! Everyone I’ve talked to noticed the same thing. They’ve all seen that date correct itself so don’t fret about it yet. Once the migration is complete, if that date is still wrong or if you’re missing something, THEN you should start to worry.

  199. #450 by coolnet on 2011.08.11 - 11:49 am

    Thank you for the update. Hope it goes well… šŸ™‚

  202. #455 by sadd on 2011.08.11 - 11:46 am

    Hey MW i have got onto thereIM with no problems but then when i tried to go to “change me” i had this popup error.. so i thought maybe it was just because we didnt get our stuff yet. Then i tried to IM my friend and when i accepted it the same popup came up. “there cannot find working OpenGL or DirectX graphics support. A possible cause might be missing or outdated graphics drivers. An update may be available from your computer manufacturer. The specific problems: OpenGL: DirectX: unknown directX error”

    Just curious, do you migrate each inventory separately, or can you do multiple ones at a time?

    • #470 by ForTehLulz on 2011.08.11 - 11:34 am

      I’m assuming it’ll be AvMan by AvMan.

      • #471 by Kendra (LilGrayFuzz) on 2011.08.12 - 4:12 pm

        Well I’m on AvMan 8, and I’ve got my stuff now. Hooray!

        did you remember your password? Or did you have to recover it?

        Because I tried recovering mine and I put in every email address I own and it still said invalid

        If you had to recover it maybe you know a little more about recovery then I do?
