Automated welcome message in room

Posted 5 days ago by Kuvi

Rooms owners should have the option to type an automated welcome message in their rooms every time someone joins. Instead of saying welcome individually every time someone joins the room itself does it.

Another idea that has come to mind would be making use of the room audio feature. Upload a supported audio file to a hosting site and make a generic greeting that plays every few minutes

One way to do this would be for a chatroom owner to purchase a NPC avatar that functions as a chatroom mod. It would whisper a welcome greeting to someone shortly after they have loaded into the chatroom. Shortly after the welcome greeting it could whisper the rules of the chatroom. Such a NPC mod would also have ability to detect if someone was disobeying the rules and whisper warnings or boot if warnings are being ignored.


Such a NPC avatar could be customized or dressed up using the clothing available from the inventory owned by the chatroom owner. A chatroom owner might need to purchase more than one NPC avatar mod if they own more than one chatroom; especially if those chatrooms have different rules.


Creating such a NPC avatar would be more complicated than creating regular furniture since it would need a menu for the owner to set up and customize. Such a menu would also need a editing function incase the owner wishes to change the protocols. This might happen if the chatroom owner wishes to change the outfit it wears, changes the rules of the chatroom or deletes the chatroom to create a new one. Creating NPC avatars would require developers with skills in script coding so maybe it would best if such a product is developed by the tech department of IMVU and sold as a type of account upgrade directly from IMVU.

Yes the room owner might copy and paste their intro message but at least it would show someone actually alive in the room.


Imagine entering a room, let's say for example it says, "Hey welcome to my room" Person entering is excited, someone is talking. Only to find out the room owner if they are the only person there is not actually there but AFK.

ahh you're right i didnt think of that. It would be weird to have the same repeated message. But room owners still copy and paste the same message over and over regardless.

I think it would be a neat idea, only a few questions...
1) Would it be a public message or a private one? If it's public and you have a bunch of people joining. Wouldn't seeing the same introduction over and over kind of interrupt the room flow?

2) What if the same person left and came back? Just seeing the same thing they just saw be kind of weird?
