Poll Time!
Here's a quick summary of the options I'm currently considering for bringing the MMD world back:
Option 1: Add Extra Steps to Enter
The world would remain public, but users would need to complete an additional step before entering the main area. This could be a questionnaire, accepting terms and conditions, entering a password, or some other hidden access method.
Estimated implementation time: Short.
Option 1.5: Create Two Separate Worlds
Create a highly limited public "SFW" version while keeping the actual NSFW version private.
Would take more time than Option 1. Also, if I upload the NSFW version first it may attract attention, so the SFW version would likely need to be prioritized. This could also create confusion between the two versions.
Estimated implementation time: Moderate.
Option 2: Make the World Private
Keep the world largely unchanged, but make it private. Access would only be possible through direct links or group-hosted instances.
Probably the fastest solution. But significantly reduces accessibility and traffic compared to a public world.
Estimated implementation time: Very short.
Option 3: Reopen It Mostly As-Is, but Hide Sensitive Content
Keep the world public while hiding potentially problematic content behind the R18 password system. This could include certain cameras, dances, NPCs, songs, and other sensitive features.
Still carries a relatively high risk, since new visitors would continue to see the main performances immediately upon entering.
Estimated implementation time: Moderate.
Extra Option: Other Ideas
If you have a different suggestion, please leave it in the comments!
I'd love to hear any ideas, improvements, or alternative solutions that I may not have considered.
About the Previous Options
Some of you may remember that I mentioned additional possibilities in my previous post.
For now, those options are temporarily off the table:
Option 4 (Starting a completely new project): This would require a huge amount of time and would delay the return of the current world.
Option 5 (Patreon verification access): I actually like this idea, but implementing it is currently beyond my technical knowledge. If I discover a practical way to do it in the future, I would absolutely reconsider it as a viable option.
Please vote for the option you prefer, and don't hesitate to share your thoughts in the comments. Your feedback will play a major role in deciding the future of the MMD world.

para mí una de las opción más viable como creadora de mundos es limitar su aseso atraves de links y grupos a que ciertamente existe una posibilidad de que te bajen el mapa es un poco menos riesgoso igualmente colocar cierta restricción de pago provocaría que muchas personas busquen acceder a él sin pagar lo que igualmente podría poner el riesgo el mundo de misma manera separa los mundos entre nsfw y sfw es por mucho lo más viable con su mayor problema siendo la tardanza dado que últimamente vrcaht a estado demasiado atento pues lo más seguro es mantenerlo todo por un lado más privado y solo talvez utilizar la tapadera de un mundos sfw para todo público y mantener lo nsfw de forma privada con links exclusivos y estacias de grupos igualmente privados con una o dos restricciones
I think there should be a Q&A session before entering the world (answers could be provided in the paid group). Also, there should be restrictions on the viewing duration.
dont put the +18 verify all peple on the server dont have like me
Hello! Nero here. When you decide to go for it, I can help you with option 5 like with my world, if you need it
would u help to repair the World?
I like option 1.5. The SFW version being publicly searchable is essentially a form of advertising. Even with Patreon passwords, only SFW dances are available. If someone frequently plays MMD or even joins Discord, they'll discover the private NSFW version. Having two versions differentiates players and reduces the likelihood of those who dislike NSFW or worry about underage players seeing sexually suggestive dances reporting it. Ideally, after entering the NSFW world, players should be initially locked in a small room or at the front desk to agree to the terms before entering the dance hall. I feel this would allow MMD to survive longer.
I would say private world for now, and you can try option 1.5 later. There's a hotel world that does that for this exact reason, anything considered lewd is locked behind the private world.
la opción 1, 1.5 y 2 estan bn yo deria q el mindo seria nomal sin el contenido pero con una contraseña como la R18 te abra un portal o una puesta oculta donde este el mundo privado solo para el grupo y crear un grupo de discord para verificar q son mayores de edad ya q el discord esata usando verificación de mayor de edad para tener cuenta y ya en ese grupo estaria la contraseña y se podria mandar los reportes de moletasion, infecciónes de las regrabdel grupo o de bugs, esta es mi opción porq asi estaria el mundo publico sin nada del contenido ala luz todo normal y que solo con un codigo q obtengas ya q ayas verificado que eres mayor de edad puedas acceder al mundo completo
I don't think you should lock stuff behind a paywall tbh. Use patreon as a tip jar and keep traffic flowing. People will still support you.
I love option 1, but I'm confused what actually broke the rules and if that would even help. I always play in this world in private instances, but I wouldn't want the whole world private where my friends can't join. We really like the sexy dances but all the nudity is obviously on private avatars, so I don't see how the world is to blame. You can look up someone's skirt anytime in vrchat, the camera angles can't be the problem. You can move and poses however you want, how can you get banned for dancing? I just don't get it.
I hope private world doesn't win, I always like joining up on a random age verified instance and hanging out and dancing with whatever group was there, it gave a nice community feel
unfotrunatly option 2 deosnt work for verry long, especially for popular worlds, if possible doing something with the 18+verified stuff for vrchat would probably be the best bet
How about a combination of options 1, 1.5, and 3? Option 1: Include a Q&A section at the entry point. Option 1.5: Provide two versions: NSFW and SFW. Option 3: Unlock numerous features after entering an R18 password, and unlock additional music using existing Patreon passwords.
Option 5 : there’s a world I’m not going say that does this and has been hidden in the public eyes. We do explicit mmd. You need to invite a friend but it’s safe and best way to keep off vrchat eyes. You might get slow traffic but the peace you know.
There’s a way you can just put people usernames and only them could get in. MSG me if you wanna know how.
