IMVU is an online metaverse and website which has millions of active users from around the world. The members use 3D avatars to meet new people, chat, create, and play games. The platform has seen a massive rise in user activity in recent weeks which is likely due to the ongoing coronavirus concerns as a number of people are being forced into self-quarantine to curb the deadly COVID-19. However, the Virtual Social Network was recently faced with some technical problems.

Hey @IMVU , I think your game is having some issues here. It logged me out of the game, first off, after I couldn’t send a single message on there, and then whenever I put the correct password, it denies me.

TAKE NOTE: Imvu had my correct password saved. So I know it was right.
