What is an Avatar Link Station?
The Avatar Link Station is an object in Second Life that you can visit to do one of two things:
- Quickly create a new account on the Rezzable website with the name of your Second Life avatar, automatically linked to that avatar;
- Link your Second Life avatar to an already-existing account on the Rezzable website.
Where do I find an Avatar Link Station?
What are the benefits of linking my web account to my avatar?
Firstly, it means that nobody can impersonate you - if anyone else tries to type your name into their avatar name box, it will show up as “Unverified” and they won’t be able to link it. Secondly, Rezzable is constantly developing new applications to connect the web and virtual worlds - linking your avatar means that you will be able to receive customised information and gifts, and access special parts of Rezzable’s Second Life presence.
What does linking your account and avatar mean?
Your Rezzable website account includes a section for the name of your Second Life avatar. However, until you confirm that that’s the correct name, it will show as “Unverified” - otherwise anyone could claim to be Philip Linden! “Verified” in green text next to the avatar name means that the Rezzable website account has been definitely linked to that Second Life avatar via the Link Station. How do I create a new account with the Link Station? If you don’t already have an account on the Rezzable website, creating a new one with your avatar name is simple.
- Visit a Link Station in Second Life.
- Touch the top panel marked “Register New Account”, and follow the instructions in the blue boxes on the top right of your screen.
- As standard, you will be given an account name the same as your Second Life name. You can change it at this stage, or later on by editing your account on the Rezzable website web page.
- You will need to enter an email address. Make sure that this is a real one!
- Once you have confirmed your account name and email address, you will receive an email with details of how to log in to the Rezzable website.
How do I link the account I have already created on the Rezzable website to my avatar?
If you already have an account on the Rezzable website and want to connect it to an avatar, here is how to do it.
- Go to your account page on the Rezzable website
- Select the tab marked “Second Life” at the top, and type in the name of your avatar. It will show as “Unregistered” at this point.
- Now go into Second Life and visit a Link Station.
- Touch the lower panel marked “Confirm Account to Avatar Link”, and follow the instructions in the blue boxes on the top right of your screen.
- Your connection to your account should then occur automatical.
How do I change my linked avatar name?
If you change your avatar name on your account page on the Rezzable website, it will reset the information and make you “Unverified” again. You can then follow the steps in the “How do I link an account I’ve already created...” section above to link your new avatar.
