Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we are truly touched. While we are still very sad without Lively, the good news is Livelyzens live on - we are an active community and we are looking to do some good things going forward. Hope Vivaty is coming along well and wish you good luck. Will stop by sometime to check it out :) Justin, Didn't see this post until today when Cherry sent me the link.

And unlike many other Internet services that carry the beta label, virtual worlds tend to hark back to the pre-Google days when beta really meant something. During this beta period Vivaty is continually adding features and improving stability. It's quite a challenge trying to work within a web browser, but it seems to be what most people expect of virtual worlds. As far as similarities, if we're talking browser based and true 3D virtual worlds, there are only a few out there - ExitReality, Hangout.net, etc. Given this handful, Vivaty is very comparable to Lively. But if you're here just to rip, rip away. Vivaty is still in beta, as are most virtual worlds.

Vivaty hardly runs on any computer without crashing, has a horrible camera perspective, very few customization options, lack of avatars interactions and the worst chat box ever. No wonder that site is always empty. You spoke with them, for what? To invite them to vivaty? errrrr vivaty similar to lively? no way.
