Heyy, I'm aoifegurl aka Aoife and I'm a new author here !

Stardoll History!

Stardoll was first launched in 2004 , it is based around a paper doll concept. Stardoll first appeared as Paperdoll Heaven in 2004 as a personal page about paper dolls, on Geocities. Creator, Liisa Wrang ( Finnish housekeeper)wanted to bring to girls a place where "they could get away from the shooting and killing games that boys played". It expanded in 2006 after receiving venture funding from Index Ventures and Sequoia Capital. Relaunched in 2006, the site targets a demographic of girls and boys between the ages of 9 and 17, who can either register for free or sign up for a paid account (called a 'Superstar' account) that opens a number of aspects on the site. It currently has more than 200 million members worldwide.

Starpoints & Levels:

Since I began my addictive journey on stardoll there has been many changes, From Starpoints to levels. Personally I think the whole level up situation is a good idea because it is much more easier to achieve new levels as it was starpoints. One of the many advantages of having levels I think are the hairs one gets to unlock as they progress!
Here are some examples of the system regarding hair:

Starcoins :
It’s easier to earn Starcoins! You can earn up to 40 Starcoins per day doing all the activities that you already love on Stardoll. You can save up to 1000 Starcoins, and they won’t expire! Now everyone can recycle! And even more than 1 item per day! Earn vs. Own: Although you can only own up to 1000 Starcoins at any time, you can always earn up to 40 Starcoins per day! Stardollars can be changed into Starcoins, but Starcoins cannot be changed into Stardollars. If your Superstar membership expires, your Stardollars will not automatically convert into Starcoins. Superstars can exchange Stardollars to Starcoins free of charge. Previously subscribing Superstars will be charged a 10% commission on the amount they exchange. All prices in Starplaza and StarBazaar have been designated as Starcoins (purple coins) and Stardollars (gold coin). The exchange rate is 1 Stardollar = 10 Starcoins.
