Do u have to pay anything at anytime to use imvu.com?

Question

like to get your avatar clothes or anything do you pay with real money? i was reading the terms of service and it said something about billing to your charge card but i the first page said it was free.

Answer 1

I believe that while it is free to join and play the game on a basic level, upgrades and extra content can be bought with real money paid via Credit Card.

Wikipedia says this:

"IMVU membership is free, allowing users to register an avatar name, utilize the 3D chat client, purchase virtual content, and customize a homepage. Free accounts are denoted by the prefix 'Guest_'. Users can purchase their avatar name to become a full member, removing the 'Guest_' prefix, and to participate in the content creation program. Full members can purchase additional account upgrades, such as VIP membership, Age Verification, and various passes, including an Access Pass, which allows access to restricted material. Access Passes can only be purchased by users 18 and older."

So while you are using a free account your username will be "Guest_UserName".  If you purchase an account your username will simply be "UserName"
