  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ส.ค. 2021
  • VRChat is the first big social platform which is within virtual reality. As the first of many, VRChat can be seen as a test trial of what will eventually be premier entertainment and social interaction within VR. As such, there are many interesting things to uncover about this virtual world, and the more intimate nature combined with the community driven creations make it so that there's a lot of dark secrets waiting to be revealed. Today, we'll take a look at these through the form of an iceberg chart.

    back in like 2018 there was this dude on the floor literally not moving at all from that spot on a maze map. he sorta became a landmark in the maze and would be a point wed meet up at. a few hours in people started to get worried and tried to talk to him. when i got back on the game some hours later he was still there in the exact same position. at some point i saw him in the spawn and asked him about it and he just said he passed out drunk. The dude really had people nervous.

      Had a similar situation in one world, but not for quite as long. Thankfully no physical harm had come to him, but he certainly hasn’t be playing as much since (but then again I was still new to the game at the time so I didn’t really know how frequently he got on beforehand).

    As a Quest user, and someone who likes to think that I’m a decent game companion, it’s frustrating that the use of the headset gets hate and often shunned in VRChat just because of its higher approachability.
    I relish the fact that I get to play the game AT ALL, and even though there’s not much content to browse due to hardware limits, I still love each and every moment of it. The new introduction of hand tracking in the game just restarted my love for it, and I can’t express enough how much I want this game to keep living on.

    I spend a lot of time exploring VR Chat worlds alone trying to find interesting worlds. Nothing makes me more excited than finding a liminal world. I love it, a lot. Of course I look for other worlds, but I really enjoy those semi-horror/spooky worlds. Not outright horror, but those are cool too. But exploring worlds alone, finding things, it feels special. An adventure, like ghost hunting.

    To touch on smelling things in Vr. Ever since I was a kid I’ve had a strong olfactory sense so much so that I can be tricked into an anticipated scent. Particularly this really comes up in scenarios where I see a virtual door open to the outside, I genuinely start to smell ‘the outside’. It’s gotten weaker as I’ve gotten older but I always get a little reminder that it’s there when I see a scene in a movie or play a game and there’s a door that leads from inside to outside I’ll briefly start smelling nature sort of.

    Oh, hey, thank you for covering my iceberg, I highly appreciate it. Anyway, here's some more context to a few of the bottom entries.
    Seizure Incident: It turns out that the seizure was just a skit made up by rogue shadow for internet clout. The video has now been deleted, but actual seizures still do happen in VRChat.
    The Old Hub Tower: It turns out there is no hidden avatar in the tower, and it's just a rumor made by the community that got spread around back in the old days. However, there are alternative versions of the map that do have a hidden avatar in the tower.
    SCPVR: SCPVR is a miltary roleplay group based on the SCP Foundation but uses its own lore instead of the wiki. The group has scheduled events ranging from basic hangouts, casual roleplay events, and serious roleplays that are story-based and utilize military tactics. They have their own maps yet primarily use abandoned worlds for their story-based events. Interesting enough, they are secretive about their roleplays, requiring members to have a certain level of activity to read their SCP files, punishing members for spreading information about serious roleplay events, and condemning those who use the foundation's avatars in public lobbies.
    Kidnapping: I'm still a bit iffy on adding that entry. The only sources I got were from eyewitnesses in a Snowden world describing a person moving erratically and screaming in an instance then becoming completely silent a few seconds after.
    Suicide Cult: From what I gather It was a group of avid players of VRChat who were interconnected. They slowly started to develop a nihlistic philosophy and eventually committed group suicide, either on VRChat or in real life. This entry is questionable since u/cedarbear is the only source.
    The Truth: Though the map is disturbing, the actual content of the map is full of basic creepy stuff you can easily find on TH-cam. As a hangout hub, no such thing I known has occurred.
    Dead Bodies: When making the iceberg, I speculated such an event had happened though all I had at the time were eyewitnesses. Now I've seen it firsthand within a public black cat lobby. It is stranger than any normal death cause you are left to wonder if the person is playing a sick joke, had knocked themselves out, or you witness death firsthand. The only real indicator is just seeing how long you see them lying on the ground.
    The weirdest part about a VRChat death is seeing only a tiny portion of the lobby mourning (the rest just doing wacky activities).

      @@MrRichManGuy The only other accounts of seizures in VRChat is Wikstream's video and word of mouth. With the high amounts of players who use particles/shaders + the daily numbers, the possibility of people having fits or seizures is above average, it just 99% of the time the events are never recorded or documented.

    Trigger warning for suicide and an overall disturbing situation-
    Almost similar to what you mentioned about the suicide cult, I have actually encountered individuals that were spending their last moments in VRChat- I remember vividly talking to two individuals on the Nordic Lakehouse Home world, and they offered to give me a couple thousand dollars through Venmo.
    Obviously at first I was skeptical, but soon I ended up learning that they were actually giving away their money because they believed they would not use it. I inquired why, and that's when I learned they were bent on ending things, and they were doing it together. I didn't feel right taking any money and I told them no, I didn't want their money. It felt wrong.
    After chilling with them for a while, they ended up getting off the game- And I realized I was quite possibly one of the last people they would have ever interacted with.

    I have a vrc friend that was an alcoholic no lifer and their have been times where he had alcoholic seizures in vrc. It was rather disturbing and was frustrating when you really can't do anything about it. He later stopped drinking and got off vrc, but has turned into a stimulant addict. We occasionally talk and play valorant for now.
    Allthefallen also extends beyond vrc and it's a very shady forum for loli/shota fans to share and discuss content. They were also apart of a controversy in the sims modding community for making a mod for you to have sex with children in the game.

I’m honestly quite worried about them being on VRC since it’s a social game and actual kids might become exposed to them now

I've gotten better at avoiding general AOE type stuff, but if it's directed specifically at me or it's close to me, it's very present. I've been stabbed and run over and shot in the head, and each time I was put in alot of pain and had to put away the headset and go somewhere to let my brain reset.

    You could theoretically make a real DND world in vrchat.
    Make a grid, premade pieces to place on said grid. And build up your world like that.
    Few enemy models, player stay in your square system and a DM easy character swapper screen.

    • @renookami4651
      @renookami4651 ปีที่แล้ว

      Even without grid, playing along in a good location can be enough. No need for it to be "officially D&D" if it fits. A good thing to have is a ruler on the GM avatar (and players if possible). Spawning dice and other fancy stuff can be done with the SDK and a few prefabs.
      Either puppet ennemies or ask regular spectators to play NPC avatars, both works.
      DM with the avatars in their favorite list is always a must, cloning on when players need to swap makes it easy to manage

    Nice to see the SCP Group on here but we ain't sus we just are trying to keep the metaverse safe. The only thing weird about us is that our humor sucks. We are cool folks who RP SCP stories in VRChat. Also our secretiveness is part of our RP scenarios to keep the story secret for those joining.

      As long as you don't dive in those parts, just use your common sense and you'll be fine. Even when it comes to exotic clubs, most happens in private instances, public ones are just full of trolls and bored people most of the time. What these video forget to tell is good luck being invited to the dark side. If you're uneasy, you can also block people pushing you that way. There's tools to protect yourself, don't give in peer pressure.

    You forgot something inside the Iceberg. A person names Moshiro or DeathCamp or Death many many more names. Alot of 2017/18/19 Player know him and his story. The impact of him can be seen to this day. He was a Reason why the Orginal Laughing coffin broke, his work is seen in every "Modded SDK", his influence was the reason for ripping when he started a group called On Gang which was a parody of the Off Gang group but he Ripped every avatar in VRChat to the time. That User is a Legend and only OG Player how was conncted to the Toxic and Modding Community know him. The problem is that many of the people who were there at the time have disappeared, but there are still the owners of the Nanosdk who was friends with him.
    Trust me his story is insane.

    Phantom smell/taste are definitely real. I don't experience them often, but the two strongest times I did were as follows: first, in the vr versions of resident evil 4, I was in a castle with some clay pots and I leaned over to check if there was anything inside these pots (turns out there is but you have to shoot them first) and immediately was hit with the smell of a slightly musty clay pot. Second, in vrchat, I was in just B club on the rooftop and I stg I could taste the fondue covered bananas. It freaked me out a little at first lol

    Honestly that would suck to see someone having a seizure in VR. Especially you can't do anything to help except watch. I would of stay by the guy to make sure he alive. If things would of went left I would of phoned called the company and hope they send someone his way.
