We've built a highly scalable technology to accommodate unlimited number of online players from around the world. Players can socialize (text & voice chat), interact with others (poses, dance), play games (single & multiplayer) and run private spaces with furniture. Also they can customize the appearance of their avatars with clothes, accessories and full-body costumes. Show less
