FAQ

Is this a social or business virtual world, or a game?

All of the above. We are building a 'social virtual world' that is also a 'business networking game'. Similar to what is increasingly being referred to as 'social gaming', except we add business elements to it.

What can players do in this virtual game world?

Engage in various business endeavors and social activities that are similar to real life, while exploring deep into the past and extending far into the future.

You say business world, can I make money?

Since the virtual world is a player-owned economy, there are several in-world potential revenue streams for end-users, but you may take advantage of the opportunity to earn company shares right now. Being part of the initial team, you stand to earn real money while keeping your freedom and having fun doing it. Please see 3DNPVEI below for more information.

Is the work made public?

We make a distinction between what is privileged information (within 3DNPVEI), deemed the "Enterprise Level", and what is available to players being the "Game Level."

What are the technical differences between this and other social worlds?

One of the most important to remember is the concept of open standards such as Web3D's ISO-approved X3D. This means you are not bound to one proprietary system, standing to loose everything if that system folds or when it is replaced. Open standards ensure that your virtual assets remain usable on many other platforms.

What is Web3D?

Through its coordinated efforts with the ISO and W3C, the Web3D Consortium is a non-profit international standards organization devoted to the development and advancement of an open standards, royalty free 3D interchange format, along with tools to represent and communicate 3D scenes and objects between diverse authoring and presentation hardware and software on the Web, distributed networks and mobile devices.

Does it mean it's open source?

No, open standards are not the same as open source. The virtual world and the game server are not open source, to the contrary, encryption is available to protect your intellectual property.

What is 3DNPVEI?

The 3D Network Professional Virtual Enterprise Initiative (pronounce 3DNPV) was first created and joined by International members around common interests in March of 2007. It became a Florida, USA based Limited Liability Company owned by its collective membership in January of 2008. The company uses a share distribution system that ensures each member's work is accounted for and officially recorded. As the company grows so will the value of its shares.

This is not to be confused with participation in the world at the Game Level, where users will retain ownership of their respective contributions and assets, and, as such, be responsible for their own earnings.
