The game is primarily divided in to three main areas of gameplay: the customizable self-expressing role-play part, the side quest unlockable point system part, and the online event community part. The purpose of these are to provide a relaxing virtual world for a sense of community to let players express their personal second life: without the lackluster mini-games of most popular social world games but with the individual expression and exploration possible through open-world sandbox games.
