Instance Types

There are many public and private environments of all genres that the user can explore. You may also create and join various community groups to meet other users with mutual interests. Users can choose to join a public instance, or create a private instance to be alone or invite friends after adding them. The type of privacy of created instances is up to the user, and follows under the various tiers:

• Public - Anyone can join.
• Friends+ - Your friends, and their friends, and so on can join.
• Friends - Only your friends may join; friends of friends are excluded.
• Invite+ - Users and friends of users must request to join your instance, unless you or an invited user's social status is set to "Join Me".
• Invite - Users must send a join request to join you, unless your social status is set to "Join Me"; friends of friends are excluded.
• Group - An instance that only members of a group, or specific roles within that group can access.
• Group+ - An instance hosted by a group, in which friends of group members, friends of their friends, and so on, can join. Group+ instances may have appointed group moderators to manage an instance. Being a member of the hosting group is not required to join the instance.
• Group Public - A publicly listed instance, hosted by a group, to which anyone can join. Group Public instances may have appointed group moderators to manage an instance.
