Cybertown is a co-marketing partner of the Vir-Con 2002, the Official 3D Virtual Star Trek convention, coinciding with the official Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada August 2nd - 4th. There will be a 3D convention center with live streaming video from the stage in Vegas, built with blaxxun technology, making it easy for anyone to attend the convention via 3D. All Cytonians will soon have access to the free 3D lobby, you can even "take" your screen name with you. There you can register for the convention, participate in dynamic giveaways and attendee/celebrity interaction. All Cytonians will receive a discount off registration, but you have to register early. More
details will be posted here soon and in a forthcoming Virt Alert.
We hope you'll help get the word out about this fantastic event.
The Star
Trek Virtual Convention site has been launched with more information
on the event. Any questions? Please send email to info@vircon.net.

Sign up now at Adventure-Trek's house in order to receive the information necessary to start your virtual journey. This
trek leads teams to various locations where you'll deal with various
tricky situations. Finding your way, solving problems, being unconventional

as well. Check out the

Be a beta-tester for a new 3D interactive game now online at Whoola.com! Cybertown residents have been asked to participate in this special experience. The game is a multi-user role playing adventure based on the Lewis and Clark expedition in America. Can you survive the long journey from St. Louis to Oregon and back? Choose to be Captains Lewis or Clark, a soldier, hunter or guide and blaze a trail through the Northwest! Try it out today at www.whoola.com. It is VRML based so your current plug-in for Cybertown will do fine. The
"Corps of Discovery, Lewis and Clark Expedition" will
be tied into an upcoming movie as well. Stay tuned for further announcements! |

ATTENTION, CYTONIANS! No
one in Cybertown needs anyone's Cybertown password for anything
ever. You will never be
required to give out your password for a Cybertown job. Whoever
asks for it should be reported to Security immediately!
It
has come to the attention of Cybertown Staff that some people are
being told that in order to have a job in Cybertown they must give
out their Cybertown login password so that they can be given access
rights to do their job. THIS IS NOT TRUE.
Your
login password is yours and yours alone. Please DO NOT give out
your password to anyone in Cybertown for any reason. Any legitimate
person who wants to hire you for a job in Cybertown does not need
your login password for any reason.
Any
legitimate Cybertown or blaxxun staff person will never
ask you for your password. If anyone asks you for your login password
on condition of employment, please report that person's nickname
to Cybertown Security immediately along with a chat log if you have
it.
It's
prudent to change your password frequently. To change your password:
at login click on the "Change Your Password" link on the
right.
Thank
you for helping us keep Cybertown safe and secure!

HELP
GUIDE
Useful new tech info: at this time, Netscape 6 won't work with the 2d chat in Cybertown seemingly due to the new way this Netscape version handles Java. A successful action to get 3D to work is by taking the plugins (npbx3d.dll, npbx3dpro.dll and npbxpro.dll) out of Netscape Communicator's plugin folder and putting them in Netscape 6's plugin folder. Make sure Netscape is shut down before doing that though! The Cybertown Help Files are comprehensive and contain the information you need to survive and flourish in Cybertown. Put together by Tin-Leon with the seal of approval from Red5, Cybertown's Community Operations Manger, and reviewed by the City Guides, it is here for your use.
