On Friday 6th November Linden Lab announced 16 new classic avatars for Second Life. These new classic avatars look good with mesh and they look much better than the old avatars from the early days of Second Life.
These new classic avatars are available for both new residents joining Second Life today and for all existing residents through the Me > Choose an Avatar menu.
Hopefully this should improve new user retention rates and improve the experience for newbies getting started in Second Life. Along with the new community gateways that Linden Lab have introduced and I’m so pleased to hear the good news.
Check out the revamped classic avatars below! 🙂
What do you think of the new classic avatars ?

If you are a new resident they are better. By default you won’t walk around like you have a stick up your bum. if you’ve been around a while and have skins, an AO you like, and have customized your shape I don’t see any reason to bother.

These starter avatars look very good. When I started SL in 2008, my first avatar looked… well, definitely like nothing as good as these! And does anyone remember Ruth?
