Safety principles

A warm world needs firm foundations. These are the rules the valley runs on.

Community safety

  • Mute, block, and report controls are built into chat from day one.
  • Chat messages are length-limited, rate-limited, plain-text only (no HTML or scripts), and pass a profanity filter.
  • Display names are validated against a safe character set.
  • Moderation reports are recorded and reviewed; repeat abuse leads to removal.
  • No user-uploaded images or assets in the MVP — everything in the world comes from the built-in catalog.

AI safety (Worldlings)

  • By default Worldlings speak from authored, deterministic dialogue — no AI model is involved.
  • If a generative provider is enabled, every reply passes input sanitization, prompt-injection filtering, output validation, and length limits, with authored fallback lines when validation fails.
  • Worldlings never initiate AI calls continuously — only explicit conversations reach a model, and they are rate-limited.
  • Conversation logging excludes sensitive information and is never sold.

Economy safety

  • World Coins are earned in-game and are never redeemable for cash.
  • Coins cannot be transferred between players in the MVP.
  • No loot boxes, no gambling mechanics, no cryptocurrency, no NFTs, no speculative land.
  • A future creator marketplace with real-money payouts will launch only after identity verification, taxation, refunds, fraud prevention, and payments-compliance work is complete. It is disabled behind a feature flag today.

Age suitability

  • Immense World is currently intended for players 13 and older.
  • We do not claim child-directed (COPPA) suitability. A dedicated child-safety and legal program is a prerequisite before marketing to younger players.
