For anyone of you who dont know, the Sims On line is undergoing a revolution. Having been left standing for the last several years with little to no insight, EA are in last re-shaping the game, and the entire world of multiplayer gaming as we know it. Seem like hyperbole? Perhaps, probably not; check out their latest addition to the internet gaming experience: AvatarBook.

Flesh was made by facebook

So what is Avatarbook? Well, the idea is in the name. What's among the largest networks on the earth at as soon as? Thats right - Facebook.

For friends the entire profiles are apparent, with walls for people to write-on and updatable status. Your page may also present if your lot is open or not, and the appliance a be-used to quickly make your way around EA Land as you jump from friend to friend.

In Facebook, the program shows your Avatar's facts (unless you have chosen an exclusive setting) and picture, and if you're logged on to the sport. Image contains extra info about the reason for
