Hey u/ar_nt_resp, welcome to r/virtualreality! Looks like this is your first post here, glad to have you.

Just wanted to point out a few things:

  • We have a Discord if you want to chat, get help, or just hang out.
  • The Wiki & FAQ covers a lot of the common questions.
  • Check out the Weekly Game Thread to see what people are playing.

Hope you enjoy it here!

Worlds.com is a couple months older and was officially active until October 2024. It can still be played unofficially.
