postheadericon TY Girlz – Virtual Worlds for Girls

The best-known product that produces the Ty Inc. Beanie Baby. Ty produced a long line of plush animals unique. In 2007, Ty Girlz first appeared as a stuffed animal, quickly followed by the website of Ty Girlz. Both the toy and the site is directly provided to girls ages 8 to 16. Non-members can visit free of charge, but these limits most activities they may have in the virtual world. Unlike most other virtual worlds, has Ty Girlz not offer monthly or annual membership. Instead, members must purchase a Ty Girlz doll has a secret code to the day. The code can then be registered on the website during the registration, exploitation of the benefits of full membership. Currently, the price for a doll Ty Girlz $ 14.99, if that price can change, and may vary.

Feature

Ty Girlz website is a very pink, designed specifically for girls. The site is in fact the model of the doll and runs for two reasons: to bring together the owners in a virtual online world and continues to market the dolls. The dolls really look like dolls – with cheerful and happy expression on Ty Girlz, avatars do not look like dolls – they look like they were modeled after the young person with little respect for themselves. After the girls to buy a doll, the doll they enter the code in the registry and to fully activate their membership.Members choose an avatar to their personality online. This avatar can be customized with accessories and a unique look. The avatar is a separate room, the ability to decorate it, to live the choice of cities and $ 500 dollars virtual Ty.

Although most of the site is for girls to talk about Ty-brand and interact with other girls are there to play games. These games earn the player Ty dollars, the virtual currency of this page. The Games People Play more, the dollars they can earn more than Ty. This money will allow players, bedroom furniture, personal items, clothes to buy, make-up, games and other commercial products. Chat is the most popular function of the virtual world. Chat in the confined world give members their own words. You must pre-selected words and phrases. In the Acrobat version of the chat members can enter their own rates, but they are only words in the dictionary Ty Girlz found limited.

What is good

The website will only appeal to girls in a broad age range who are interested in fashion and social chat. The graphics are pretty good – clear, crisp, clear images. It flows well.This is a clear site with vivid colors. There is no violence, alcohol, drugs or smoking on the premises or in games. Chat filters remove foul language. Unlike simple memory tests of skills, there is no real educational value for Ty Girlz.

What is bad

The comparison with Barbie is unequivocal. Is there more to life than a girl make-up, fashion, beauty and shopping? Of course, Ty Inc. does not think that’s all the girls who come and buy their Ty Girlz parade – or are they? There are no positive role models and messages in the virtual world for girls, which girls will be nothing more than empty shopaholics. Girls have fun on this side, but it should not be taken seriously.
