Community FAQs

Find answers to common questions about Cyberathia. If you don't see what you're looking for, feel free to reach out to our support team.

  • How do I flag inappropriate behavior?
    Use the Report Crystal in-world or submit via the web interface. All reports are reviewed by human moderators. Be aware that for the most part, independent Districts will have their own rules and regulations and can determine how to enforce them. Otherwise, unless the Districts have explicitly violated our company policies, reports will be logged for 90 days for reviews.
  • Can outsiders visit a District?
    In general, yes. While some areas might be gated for guild-only access, most Districts will likely maintain plazas, markets, or sanctums where guests can interact, trade, or explore exhibitions, and pending the popularity of particular guild city-states, businesses may seek to advertise within them as virtual store fronts.
  • Can I move between guilds?
    Yes, though transitions are limited to once per 30-day cycle to preserve narrative coherence and social stability. Also, you are under no obligation to join or be a part of any guild, nor do you have to create one to enjoy the social networking or virtual environments.
  • Can Districts interact with one another?
    Yes. Districts may form alliances, trade pacts, cultural exchanges, or even stage ceremonial conflicts. Inter-district dynamics are moderated through both narrative systems and community governance tools.
  • How does a guild create its own District?
    Once a guild reaches a certain threshold of cohesion and influence, it can petition the Civic Council to be granted a Dominion Charter. This unlocks the Guild District template and allows for custom world-building, infrastructure layering, and symbolic design aligned with the Codex.
  • Who can access Cyberathia?
    Individuals aged 18 and up are welcome. Certain roles, like guild leadership or merchant operations, may require ID verification or community vetting for more "adult" based content requiring an AOP (Adults Only Pass).
  • How can businesses participate?
    Verified vendors can establish storefronts, offer services, and organize virtual or real-world campaigns linked to their district.
  • How do I customize my avatar?
    The Avatar Forge lets you craft your visual identity, choose your regional zone, and (optionally) align with a guild.
  • Can I submit original creations?
    Definitely. The Creator’s Forge accepts asset submissions such as outfits, structures, items for review and potential inclusion in the marketplace.
  • What are Cyberathian guilds?
    Guilds are structured affinity groups—rooted in philosophy, aesthetics, or mission—that guide collaborative storytelling and in-world ethics.
  • Do I have to use my real name?
    No. The only time your "real name will be necessary" is with real world financial transactions such as purchasing in game currency and new account creation. Otherwise, for the proper security and safety of our members, you choose your own Username that alone will be displayed with your age during the account creation. Never share such information with third parties. We do not allow solicitation from other companies outside virtual environments, nor allow them to send members "offers" by way of email or site or in game messaging. If such occurs, check the sender and report them.
  • What roles exist within a District?
    Roles vary by guild culture, but common functions include: Architects (design and terrain shaping) Curators (lore and symbolic alignment) Wardens (safety and civil order) Envoys (diplomatic liaisons with other Districts) It is entirely up to the guilds themselves.
  • What are quests like?
    Quest lines vary: from mythic campaigns tied to lore, to real-world challenges that encourage collaboration, artistry, or local activism. Most will be created by guilds for their Districts, others may be created by end users.
  • What happens if my District violates Cyberathian policies?
    As head of a District or owner, it is up to you to address the behavior. You will be notified of the issues though member mail. If you have taken action already such as suspending a guild member, be sure to report it. Failure to report actions taken may result in your District being locked down till the issue is considered resolved.
  • What is Cyberathia?
    Cyberathia is an immersive virtual environment that merges social connectivity with mythically inspired world-building. It empowers users to connect locally, collaborate meaningfully, and shape culture through avatar-based interactions and narrative-driven systems.
  • Can I build environments?
    Yes, through the World Builder suite. Access may hinge on your guild tier or creator status, though the goal will be to keep it available as an option for all verified and active members.
  • What makes each District unique?
    Every Guild District expresses a singular aesthetic language and metaphysical purpose—some exalt mythic ruins, others gleam with celestial geometry or echo elemental motifs. No two districts are the same, and each contributes to the broader mosaic of Cyberathia’s realm.
  • How does moderation work?
    Multi-layered systems combine AI filters, regional moderators, and guild-appointed adjudicators known as Sentinels.
  • How is my privacy managed?
    Cyberathia is grounded in responsible data handling. Details are outlined in our Policies section. You are also responsible for keeping your user information private and advising other members to do the same.
  • Can I submit a mini-game for potential inclusion in Cyberathia (the game)?
    Possibly. However, use the basic sense of "when in doubt, don't." The content and title along with any code would all have to also include a release of rights and usage as a Read Me file for our records and all assets used in the production must be original content that has not come from other third parties who would also have to provide their content on such content. It would also have to be in the same version of the Game Engine we are using at this time and not later and other factors would also have to be considered including, but not limited to the necessity for removal and/or refactoring such as included coding scripts and the complexities therein. Furthermore, such submissions would also have to be removed from any other location you have published such content and you have not already sold or distributed content such as "patches or other add-ons elsewhere or otherwise violate any portion of the above requirements and expectations, and. or the policies, terms, conditions and EULA of said third party sites for which we have no control over. Typically this is not an issue for self published content/titles, yet even then you must review the policies, etc. of any third party sites such publications have been made through wherein you will be solely held liable for any violations and wherein Cyberathia, LLCâ„¢ is held excluded from any and all legal resources and or actions taken against you. Further, this may result in Cyberathia, LLCâ„¢ working with said third parties to hold you liable for any and all damages that comes about from such agreement and copyright violations, including but not limited to the namesake and overall reputation of this company and or its products and services and or associated affiliates, sponsors, etc.
  • How can I earn in-world currency?
    Through inviting others into various locations, visiting locations through a virtual tour, completing quests, selling designs or offering services such as world design, storytelling, or moderation assistance.
  • What is a Cyberathian District?
    A District in Cyberathia is a sovereign virtual domain established by a guild. These serve as evolving city-states—each shaped by the guild's values, architecture, economy, and internal governance. Districts are not mapped to real-world locations; they are mythopoeic constructs built collaboratively from shared lore, utility, and vision.
