12) Gaia Online

Introducing Gaia Online

You want your avatar to be anime-style? Well, Gaia Online has you covered. And because you are sure to like your little character so very much, this platform allows you to discover virtual spaces where you can interact and hang out, but will also let you use the same username and avatar in forums, chats and anything inside the Gaia community. So you can let everyone know how cool you are, even if they are not inside the virtual world at the same time.

And lots of options to cosplay, obviously.

In fact, Gaia Online isn’t exactly a game, and its core feature are the forums, where users can interact and discuss with one another. Users register for free and customize an avatar, who will be their representation not only when posting replies on a thread but also in the Towns and Shops, which are the truly virtual spaces where you can use your character move around, interact with others, shake some trees and catch some butterflies. Along with these these activities, you can also play minigames with other users, such as fishing, trivia, racing cars and jigsaws, among others. All these give out gold, which in turn you can use to buy items for your avatar or even a house, where you will be able to entertain other guests and show them how cool you are.

This is way classier than my real-life apartment.

Originally starting out as an anime-listing site (a site where there are many links to other places where you can find anime), this community grew so much that it got a life of its own. You can find storylines explained in the various mangas the site hosts, or you could even go to one of the real-world gatherings they usually sponsor. A fun and customizable environment for like-minded people, Gaia Online is an ever-evolving social world that might interest more than a couple of you, dear readers.

11) Club Cooee

Club Cooee - Chat. Experience. Explore.

Another 3D fun chatroom to explore and dance, Club Cooee doesn’t only surprises by its many vowels in the name, but also because it allows dynamic “space” creation, where you can choose from lots of items and backgrounds to create an entertaining environment where you can chat and meet with new people, as well as fulfilling your DJ fantasies.

Or just creepily watch everyone else having fun. Like that guy with the orange hoodie on the second floor.

As per usual with virtual worlds, you’re going to need an avatar. Of course you can just select one of the plain presets, but what’s the fun in that? Customize and make your avatar just how you like it, and you will soon find expressing yourself is great. Once there, you can walk around and just strike a conversation, expressing different emotions with animations and having a good time. You can also share your music with the in-game music sharing system, that will play your tunes as background music inside these chatrooms, and either attend to someone’s party or throw your own, where you can select the playlist and entertain your guests with your awesome taste in music.

I listen to a lot of Death Metal... What? I refuse to follow stereotypes.

With a lot of 3D spaces to explore, from a busy club to a relaxing beach, you can also create and customize your own chatrooms, so you’ll have precisely the backdrop you want, down to the soundtrack. Free to join and fun to play, it is one quick fun online world to visit once in a while. Especially because you can now have pets and I totally want a Siberian tiger.

10) Chit Chat City

Chit Chat City - Online Virtual Chat World

So, you’re all for having a 3D space to chat with people, and having all these little activities you can share with friends (or enemies, if that’s your thing), but you still feel you are a little… constricted? Limited? What about directly drawing and creating your own avatars and items, and owning an entire freaking city if you want? Well, Chit Chat City might just be your thing.

So the Pony is selling the humans… poetic justice, I suppose?

Chit Chat City gives you the usual options of customizing an avatar. You know, like virtual worlds tend to do. And along these features, you can also have a space of your own in order to design and decorate however you want, showing your more artistic side. However, what truly comes through as a huge difference with Chit Chat City, is that you can actually take a blank avatar and directly draw its features, as well as designing and literally drawing items that are fighting to exit your imagination and be displayed on a virtual shelf.

Or you can go kill Zombies. Seriously, that’s an actual option.

Even without that key feature, Chit Chat City offers different activities such as zombie killing mini games, fishing, contests and the opportunity to sell your creations for in-game currency. And I wasn’t kidding about having a whole city. You can choose to have a house, but Chit Chat City actually gives you the option to get a huge amount of space to create a literal virtual city, with buildings and parks and whatever you can. And best of all, you can choose to only allow your friends to visit. So have fun in your own hand drawn city-state.

9) Habbo

Habbo Promo

With simple but great pixel graphics, Habbo brings not a town or a city, but huge virtual hotels to allow players to interact and have fun together, designing their own rooms and games with an easy to use interface that can create some rather interesting, original and complex virtual spaces you can share with friends or random people.

Small talk has never been so engaging.

After creating an avatar using the big catalog of different items, hairstyles, features and clothing, you can start interacting with the other members of the community. But the fun part are the other users. They have assembled into groups that have their own “guest-rooms”, with soccer fans wearing their favorite jersey, ice-rink enthusiasts having skates and parkas, and anything you can imagine. With options ranging from battle arenas to ice-rinks and more, every room in this virtual hotel is teeming with creativity and fun.

You can even have a freaking stadium inside your room, to the chagrin of mothers everywhere.

If you’re a fan of role-playing, there are numerous RP dedicated rooms that not only welcome like-minded people, but also have on-going friendships and rivalries. You have to be ready to get starstruck, too, as the “hotels” are also visited by musicians such as Gorillaz, Tokyo Hotel, and the finalists for American Idol, in sponsored in-game events. So pack your bags and visit Habbo, as you’re not going to regret it.
