Welcome to Dinosaurs Park, and thank you for your interest in our top-quality Dinosaur Avatars! You’ll find Nargus Lab one of the higher-standard groups to do business with, our administrative staff is attentive to making sure customers may enjoy their experience here to their fullest, and our avatar functions are among the very best in Second Life. Come see our Domes, interactive HUD Quest, and, of course, our avatars; come and make one your own!
Nargus Lab, Inc. offers the leading standard in high quality animation, sculpted avatars, and fully functioning customization HUDs. In addition, Nargus Lab offers dinosaur fan fiction resources: JP Alternate Realities, 1st Person aspects of prehistoric creatures, and links to websites like Lulu.com so you can go straight to the purchase page!
At Nargus Lab, Inc., we wish to maintain a pleasant, friendly environment for all our customers and visitors. While the Park is mainly for the Avatars and Role Play, we welcome all other avatar fans and cultures to our Park, including humans, nekos, Furries, Gothics, Goreans, faeries, elves and so on. We love diversity!
However, just as any other place you’ll find on SL, we do have a set of guidelines we humbly ask of you to abide by while visiting Dinosaurs Park. We wish to ensure a peaceful and productive atmosphere for all, so please take these rules to heart and use Common Sense when reading them. When in doubt, ask a Guardian, Instructor or Councilor. You can find them in the Dinosaurs Council group.
Rules and Guidelines
- Treat others as you would like to be treated. If you are being harassed, IM a Dinosaur Guardian who is online.
- No scripted weapons of ANY kind. Projectiles, lasers, bombs, orbiters, disruptor, missiles, NONE are allowed! Small decoration guns which come as a part of clothing accessories are okay, but all scripted weapons that make noise, emit particles, or otherwise ACT as weapons are strictly prohibited.
- No spam. This is a highly subjective term as even some of our own staff do admittedly use loud Gestures often. Put simply, if you are asked to stop by another resident, do so. If you harass others in any way, you will either be temporarily banned until we feel you have gotten the message, or permanently banned if you pose a serious annoyance to other residents.
- Role play is strongly encouraged and especially when it has to do with Nargus’ storyline. However, please avoid trying to get others into your RP who weren’t in it to begin with. If you are in an RP, we ask that you leave others alone who are here for other reasons.
- If you are given a notecard with our Rules in them, count that as a warning. If you are in violation of any of the above, you will be given no more than 3 warnings. If you decline the notecard, we may consider kicking you from the Park depending on how serious the offense is.
- There are some areas which are off-limits within the park. We ask that you leave these places when asked by a Guardian, an Instructor, or a Councilor. If there are banlines up, it is for an important project which musn’t be disturbed while in process. Please avoid doing things which hinder the progress of Park Development.
We are also aware that you might have questions about certain aspects of the Park and ask that you read below, as we may have them answered already. If not, please IM, or drop a notecard on Nargus Asturias’ profile.
F.A.Q.
Q) Can I get a discount on Nargus Lab Avatars? Even your price to buy a no-mod version is expensive.
A) We do offer occassional discounts from time to time. Please contact Nargus Asturias himself for more informations on discount offers.
Alternatively, you can rent some of our avatars for up to 48 hours as a trial. Some special circumstances may afford more of a bonus such as a randomly selected winner of a L$1500 gift certificate for renting Nargus Lab avatars.
We also understand our prices are somewhat above some others of our kind. We kindly ask of you to see this as a responsible purchase. Much work and love went into making these avatars, and still many more are to be made. We don’t want our avatars to become impulse-buys to where absolutely everyone has one. Meaning that these avatars won’t be bought simply because they’re there, and owning one (or few) will hopefully be a more unique experience for our customers.
Q) Can I get a refund? What about for Nargus Avatar rentals?
A) Sorry, but as a general rule, we do not offer refunds in any case. We will not give you a refund for a 48 hour rental as you, the customer, are responsible for making sure you have the time to fully try out your rental.
Q) Why isn’t X feature available? I want to be able to do Y.
A) Most of our avatars are works in progress and, even if they are fully functioning at their initial release date; unforseen bugs in the scripts, or even SL bugs can pop up at any time. If you’ve found a bug, drop it on Nargus Asturias’ profile telling what you did and how you found the bug, and what happened. But being works-in-progress, it is possible that your feature might be added someday!
Q) Why don’t your avatars look like X? They look inacurrate to me.
A) The only way to properly understand why so many dinosaurs look different from each person who studies them is that it is realistically impossible for anyone alive today to know for a fact what any dino looked like back when they ruled the Earth. However, if you believe there can be some physical improvement in one of our avatars, in according to the latest accepted scientific knowledge, you may contact Nargus Asturias with the details.
Q) How can I do X on the HUD Quest? Why can’t I just do Y instead? It is too hard…
A) The HUD Quest, even though it requires much thought and Problem-Solving, is relatively straight-forward. Many people come to the Park every week and complete it without needing an ounce of help from the Council. If you feel you have found something irregular or misleading within the Quest, contact Nargus Asturias about your concerns. We ask that you do not bother other visitors, or complain about the HUD Quest not being correct in some way just because you cannot complete it. On that same token however, SL can have its own rare effect on the HUD itself which can mess things up. In that case, we apologize but cannot help you in that case either. The best thing to do is get a new HUD and begin anew.
As a side note, the upside-down half-buried characters are NOT the current part of the Quest. You will know what we mean once you have reached that part of the quest.
Q) What is the Dinosaurs Council? How do I become a member of the Dinosaurs Council?
A) The Dinosaurs Council is the management group, and affiliates, of Nargus Lab, Inc. We do have job offers available from time to time and such offerings can be found in the First Dome after you come up the walkway into the Park. Otherwise, while we appreciate your eagerness to help, we cannot allow you into the Council.
Why are these things important?
- This information is important to maintain a friendly environment while visiting Dinosaurs Park.
- It reduces junk, or rude people, from being intrusive on your role playing or interrupting your purchase.
- It is also important to help protect yourself and our company.
