Special Event Planned for the Originals

Several days ago, AAMBIENTT sent out invitations for a special event organized specially for the "originals" of VRChat. According to the host, he’s expecting VR Pill to be there as well.

“The event will have some of the best known, memorable, and awesome people of VRChat before The Boom,” AAMBIENTT said. Other than being one of the “native” users of VRChat, another condition is, you have to “come as one of your original avatars you had before the boom.”

The “boom” may be a reference to the increase of user count during December and January, according to the users who came to VRChat before the rest of the community who most likely got here after several famous YouTubers and streamers published their videos about VRChat.

The platform is still adjusting to its current state. Just less than a year ago, it used to have no more than a few dozens of active concurrent users online, but by the time VRChat Inc. witnessed the numbers of over 20,000 different people using their platform at the same time, they decided that something had to be done, and there are still changes to be made, even though it almost seems like they stopped working on new features and improvements.

This Sunday, Ron replied to MaxOfS2D, a well-known YouTuber and content creator, on Discord. “We are acutely aware of issues and working on it,” Ron said. “It's not impossible to stop at all. Just needs more work. We're not a complete app. We're in ‘Early Release,’ so bunch of things still in the works. Keep that in mind.”

One of the recent additions to VRChat was the mysterious "trust system" that is supposed to keep its community from so-called "bad actors," including users who violated the rules and haven't served the punishment yet. As Jazneo said, the system may be used for sharing access to custom scripting only with people who earned the trust in VRChat for it at some point in the future.

In the meantime, according to the latest rumors, fortunately or not, VRChat hasn’t updated its privacy policy. This week, no one claims to have received any messages regarding this particular issue.
