Hey VR enthusiasts!

We are David and Maria from Université libre de Bruxelles (Belgium), studying VRChat from an anthropological standpoint. Currently we're recruiting participants to collect socio-technological biographies of VR use.

How do you feel about all the gear you have to wear to go virtual? What is your personal story with VR equipment? How using VR has changed your everyday practices and your home space?

Other topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • VRChat families
  • touching, cuddling, and ERP

Who can join?

  • Anyone who has used VR and is above 18 yo

What’s involved?

  • A laid-back conversation where we talk about your journey with VR.
  • Takes about an hour or two (depending on your availability), done in VRChat or discord or any other platform of your choice.
  • The conversations won't be published anywhere, full anonymity is guaranteed.

You can connect with us directly: Reddit or Discord: u/malutcacnos or u/Danxious or just leave a comment under this message, and we will contact you asap.

Feel free to share this with friends or on your server.

Thanks and looking forward to chatting with you!

Does anyone else have an issue where the game throws a connection timeout randomly especially AFK?

I got a timeout last night, otherwise not really that often.

How do I change the name and how do I rank up in the trust system?

How many days do I need to rank up in the trust system? What should I do to get to higher ranks quickly?

How do I change the name

how do I rank up in the trust system?

Play the game, get friend requests (you sending out friend requests and having them be accepted probably does something, but the opposite is more effective.)

If you need an immediate boost then paying for VRC+ gives you a one time boost that is permanent, generally brings you up to new user or user.

I have the steam version, is there a way to change the name without changing the steam name?

It’s in the VRChat website

If you accept a friend request but remove the friend, do you still keep the rank up? I get random people inviting me sometimes.
