Answers about the Dropworld preview. Many things here are plans, not live features.

Questions and answers

What is Dropworld?
Playing

Dropworld is a place to play and make worlds with friends. Right now it is a preview. You can look around and, if you are 18 or older, make an account.

Can I play right now?
Playing

Yes, as a demo. Walk the Live 3D court, build and play a world in Create, browse the Shop and dress your character in the Wardrobe. Your progress is not saved.

How do friends work?
Playing

In the plan, you add friends by handle. Gifting is limited. Teens cannot send gifts. The Me page shows an example.

Is chat on?
Playing

Chat is planned. For teens it would be off by default.

How do I make a world?
Creating

Open Create. Describe a world and edit it by chat, hand-build a grid game, or check your own Blender model in the Pro tab. Nothing you make is saved or published yet.

Can I create without playing?
Creating

Yes. In the plan you can pick Creator-only to make and sell without playing. You can pick it on the Join page.

Who owns what I make?
Creating

In the planned creator terms, you own your work. We would get a license to host and show it. This is a draft and not in effect.

What is a remix?
Creating

A remix is a new world built from someone else's world. The planned rule gives the original creator 10%. This is a draft.

Can I buy anything now?
Money

No. The preview has no purchases and no payments. Prices you see are examples.

How would creators get paid?
Money

The plan is 70% after payment processor fees. There is a $50 minimum and a 30-day hold. These are drafts and may change.

What is the identity check?
Money

It is optional now. It would be required before money moves. Stripe Identity runs it with an ID and a selfie. We keep only a pass flag and an age band, not your ID.

Who handles money for teens?
Money

A parent or guardian. They are the account of record, they pay, and they sign creator terms.

What age do I need to be?
Safety & age

You need to be 14 or older. If you pick an age under 14 on the Join page, it stops and does not let you try another date in that session. Accounts for ages 14 to 17 open after guardian links are ready.

What changes for teens?
Safety & age

Teens link a guardian. Chat is off by default. No biometrics for teens. Spending goes through the guardian.

How do I report something bad?
Safety & age

Reporting is planned for launch. See the draft community rules. For now, use the Report a problem form on this page. It is a demo.

Does Dropworld follow children's privacy laws?
Safety & age

We have not made that claim. Accounts are for ages 18 and up only right now. Our legal pages are drafts under review. We will not say more until that review is done.

Can I make an account?
Account

Yes, if you are 18 or older. Go to Join. We email you a code, so there is no password.

How many accounts can I have?
Account

In the plan, one verified person can hold up to 5 accounts.

How will I sign in?
Account

With a code we email you. Passkeys, Google and Apple are planned.

What if I lose access?
Account

Sign-in uses your email, so you get back in by asking for a new code. If you lose access to that email, contact us through Help.

What does Preview mean?
Preview status

The site is an early build. Data is made up. Things can change or break.

Does the preview collect my data?
Preview status

Only if you make an account: your email, handle, account type, age group and join date. Our host keeps standard server logs. See the Privacy page.

Are the Terms in effect?
Preview status

Only the Preview notice is in effect. The full Terms are a draft under attorney review and not in effect.
