As an adult playground, RLC features a sex function. The users are represented by avatars which may be customized personally to suit a user's tastes, and may be used to have sex with another.

There are several themed and equipped rooms available for BDSM play. The avatars are all anatomically correct and the sexual activity is detailed and animated. Users chose a position or action from a menu and then watch it happen with their avatar partner. Since both partners have the same menu to choose from, the result is a visual cybersex.

Roles Within The Community

Within the RLC metaverse there are several roles and functions which are provided solely by currently active members of the RLC community.


Guide is the first role available for most members. Guides have the role of helping new members learn their way around, giving tours, answering questions, and helping with minor disputes.


Hosts and Hostesses take over where the guides leave off. The hostess's job is to make new members feel welcome and to ensure that everyone has a good time. Guides give the tours and answer any questions that may arise. Hostesses help the members have a good time and party. They will introduce new members to other members so they will get to know people sooner.


The next role is Leader. Leaders are guides who have shown themselves to be seriously dedicated to helping the community. They now have the added responsibility of helping the guides, trying to settle disputes, and assisting the protectors in any way they can.


Protector is the highest role that most members can reach. A protector has proven themselves to be very dedicated to the community. They are essentially moderators. They are entrusted in helping the guides, leaders, and all the other members. Protectors step into situations that the leaders or others can't get under control. Protectors will try to reason with members, and if after an ample amount of time and warnings, booting a member if needed.


Community Supervisor is the newest position. They are in charge of helping, training, and moderating the guides, recommending promotions, as well as assisting the leaders. They are leaders who have been promoted to this leadership position. They have the same roles as the leaders and guides, but with these added responsibilities. They also work closely with the protectors and Community Moderators.


Community Moderator was created in tandem with the growing amount of members joining the community. In addition to being protectors, community moderators are there to assist everyone. They help guides, leaders, and protectors with any problems or complaints they may have, and act as a main pipeline to the higher staff. They also help with the members complaints and problems. This is a growing position, and only the protectors that have truly proven themselves and made a definite mark in the community are considered for this role.
