I’ve had an interest in playing VRChat for a couple years now but never went through. There’s been so many conflicting that been said about it ever since the Easy Anti-Cheat Update. So I want to know about your personal experience with the community and where to start.

Also I’ve been looking to upgrade my headset from a Valve Index and looking for recommendations. No Meta headsets since I don’t trust Facebook.

    there’s good, there’s bad. i think of it as going to the mall and talking with strangers, except its not as awkward and half of the strangers are 13-16. can’t provide any recommendations on the headset though; i’ve been using a quest 2 since launch day

    I started on VRchat in 2020 and just before most of the kids made it there.

    Public worlds used to be about 25% unsupervised kids and teens %50 adults and the other 25% were computer mutes. On Friday’s and other popular times it was 90% adults.

    Today it’s 90% kids and teens in public lobbies and you’ll have to join the adults in private worlds. You’ll have to find these fellow adults everywhere but public VRchat worlds, mostly through discord servers.

    ChilloutVR is the closest thing to what VRchat once was, but you’ll be sorely disappointed with it if you compare the two games together since they’re so different.
