The Arcade is located on The Arcade and The Arcade 2 simulators, and opens quarterly throughout the year: March, June, September, and December.

The Arcade is open during the following months: March, June, September, and December. The venue is set to private during off-event months to prepare for upcoming events.

The Arcade’s opening week is the busiest. We encourage you to be patient and promise that you’ll eventually get in.

To deter lag, we at The Arcade restart the sim daily and keep its avatar count at a reasonable number. If you’re experiencing lag, we suggest wearing a full body alpha, detaching all attachments and huds, and de-rendering avatars around you. If your shopping experience continues to suffer, we suggest that you re-visit the event at a different time or day. The Arcade runs for an entire month, allowing customers enough time to purchase their gacha goods at their leisure.

Please contact TheArcadeGachaEvents Resident or Marianne McCann to report venue griefing.

If a prize isn’t delivered, please contact the designer whose machine you played with transaction details.

Please alert the creator of the item as soon as possible via notecard, outlining any issues or problems the prize may have so that they can quickly resolve a fix for it.

The probability of winning a rare in an Arcade machine is automatically generated based on the number of items. (It cannot be manually set by the designers.)

The gacha uses random numbers to determine whether an avatar wins a rare or a common! It’s important to note that since the numbers are randomized, we cannot guarantee exact proportions are allocated of any particular item. Statistically, if you play forever, you will end up with roughly half as many of a rare as you would a common.

The following formula is used: The number of rares are divided by the total number of items, multiplied by 0.5 (approximately one half), and multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.

Click here to see whether or not a gacha machine is still available for play. If a gacha machine is not listed, it is currently unavailable due to the designer’s discretion.

Gachas cannot be individually sold to customers from store owners, out of fairness to those who have played. They may only be available in gacha machines during and after the event’s completion.

Our update group doubles up as a trading channel. This moderated chat is the perfect place to find what you are looking for. Click here to read the official rules before initiating any trades.Please be careful with any third party exchanges. Because we have no means of resolving transactions where the item was not received, Arcade Staff cannot verify, enforce, certify, examine, uphold, or adjudicate any promise, contract, deal, bargain or agreement made by and between members of The Arcade’s update group. While you may have a valid agreement with other members, The Arcade is not a party to, and cannot resolve, your dispute.

There is no official channel for reselling.
