Thanks for reading!

I hope you do like this guide I made, if you have ANY suggestions please let me know as I will take them.

If you ask how I know a lot about ranks, I do my research and I did play VRChat since the beginning on my old steam account that I, completely forgot the email and password to.

UPDATE: Thanks to some old 2017 - 2016 users, I have updated some sections to have more accurate information now, thanks a lot!

[Pink Lightning Walker#92404]

I had only 16 friends when I got known rank so this is far from accurate

[hund]

You're missing the community translator one

[Mystic~]

but I think I was playing on the website launcher I can't remember since it was so long ago sadly

[Mystic~]

sadly steam stopped counting at 3.5k cause I rememeber playing vrchat on a old crappy laptop in 2016. I heard there was a rank for the OGs of VRChat but I'm yet to see anything.

[Shade Wintergaze]

The trust system confuses me nowadays, since it doesn't seem to actually work how it's supposed to.

A few years ago, I was "User", then I took a break for a while and came back to find I was suddenly dropped down to "New User", then during the recent Furality (June 6th - 9th, 2024) I got myself over the 25 friend limit (currently at 27), and currently have 81.3 hours in VRChat, yet I'm still "New User" and not back to "User" like before.

I wonder if it has to do with me playing almost exclusively in private instances with friends now, instead of going to public instances with randos like I use to.

[Caramel]

thats will help thanks!

[Forever]

Thank you for info!

[Nezzy]

does getting kicked from group instances strike you? some people who run those kick based off avi choice alone..

[Frostyca]

okay

[Serphelius]

<frostycat :D> this could be that you don't meet some hidden requirements, try joining random worlds and spending at least around 5 minutes inside of them.

You could also try on random avatars, AFK for hours, or friend more people to get new user.
