COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
We are committed to a safe and inclusive space for players to explore, create, and connect. We welcome all individuals, as they join us to discover new possibilities, meet like-minded people, and define their own destiny.
To help ensure the safety and well-being of our community, we have established these Community Guidelines (the “Guidelines”).
The “Code of Conduct”, “Content Standards” and, “Enforcement Approach”, work together in harmony to ensure every second spent within EVERYWHERE is safe and trusted.
Before playing or entering any world within EVERYWHERE, you must make sure you read and accept these Guidelines. Violating these Guidelines may result in consequences as defined in the Terms of Usesuch as restrictions on your account, temporary or permanent bans, and even reports to authorities if necessary.
Code of Conduct
Everyone is equal within EVERYWHERE. It’s a place without borders, where you can come as you are, to explore, build and meet friends. EVERYWHERE is built upon acceptance, safety, and fun, delivered through these core community principles:
There is no tolerance for bullying, harassment, intimidation or hate of any kind, in any form: in-game communication system, text, voice, display names, character, arcs and stamps, etc.
- Embrace diversity and respect others: Our community is made up of people from different cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. We celebrate this diversity and welcome all members. Always treat everyone with respect.
- Share knowledge and be helpful: Our community thrives on knowledge sharing. We encourage members to share their experiences, insights, and tips with others, especially new members.
- Be honest and play fair: We expect all members to be truthful in their interactions. Honesty and transparency are the foundation of a strong, trustworthy community. This is a level playing field, where we don’t hold grudges, troll, groom, spam, cheat, hack, exploit or grief, and always play by our rules.
- Report issues and protect others: If you witness any behaviour or content that goes against our principles, please report it using the appropriate tools available, and as outlined in our Terms of Use. We take all reports seriously and will take appropriate action.
Following this Code of Conduct, we invite you to embrace the adventure, create and share your stories, and enjoy an unforgettable journey in EVERYWHERE.
Content Standards
EVERYWHERE empowers you to freely create and experiment as far as your imagination can take you. If you can imagine it, you can experience it in EVERYWHERE.
Our approach to content moderation is centred around four key pillars:
- Remove content that violates any of: our Guidelines or Terms of Useor puts our community at risk.
- Age-restrict mature content so that it is only viewed by adults (i.e. excluding minors).
- Ensure that content promoted by any recommendation system we use is appropriate for a broad audience.
- Empower our community with information, tools, and resources to make informed decisions about their experience on our platform.
The following outlines the Content Standards for EVERYWHERE and Services including content creation, interaction with other players and general behaviour and fair play. These standards must be followed:
Terrorism and other Violent Extremism:Content and behaviour in EVERYWHERE must never have any connotations to terrorism. This includes activities like inciting, condoning, supporting, glorifying, or promoting terrorist or extremist organizations, individuals, and their ideology or actions.
Gambling and casinos:EVERYWHERE does not allow any form of gambling mechanics on the platform. This includes loot-boxes and other elements of chance, unless they are made accessible to other Users for free, i.e. without any form of remuneration or other consideration, including but not limited to fiat currency, Cash Cubes, Data Cubes and personal data of a User.
Violence:In EVERYWHERE, you'll come across various content and experiences that may depict violence and weapons. Please remember that these are designed purely for entertainment purposes. It is your responsibility to ensure that any UGC you create is only accessible to the appropriate age group. Let's work together to make sure EVERYWHERE remains a safe and enjoyable space for everyone.
Political and religious content:To maintain a respectful and civil environment, EVERYWHERE does not allow symbolism, and promotion related to extremism or any other political or religious content.
Illegal Goods and Activities:We strictly prohibit the offering, showcasing, and promotion of any illegal activities and goods within EVERYWHERE. This includes the planning and coordination of activities that are illegal, or that relate to illegal goods or activities.

If your content requires such audio for the full experience, it must have clear and visible warning / caution signs, to avoid any harm to others. You cannot use any unlicensed music in your experience, nor are you allowed to bypass our protections to upload unlicensed music.

You are responsible for adhering to local laws in your region or territory.
To ensure a safe and secure environment, we have implemented procedures and tools to identify, review, and moderate content within our Services. It is strictly prohibited to bypass infiltrate, disrupt, damage, or interfere with these systems in any way.
Violating these Guidelines may result in consequences such as restrictions on your account, temporary or permanent bans, and even reports to authorities if necessary.

Additionally, any attempts to circumvent enforcement action by using alternative accounts will result in sanctions to all associated accounts. We do not permit sharing of accounts.
We continuously evaluate the impact of player behaviours on the EVERYWHERE ecosystem and may add sanctions or limitations, introduce new systems, adjust existing systems to reward positive and counter negative behaviours.
