The staffroom at VWRT Central was abuzz with chatter. The question at hand was which sim on the list should be covered first from the list that had been compiled over the last few weeks. Finally it was decided to visit the recreated RMS Titanic, so we dressed up one of our staffers and sent her on her way.

(The running joke was that if the project doesn’t work out well, the Titanic may be a role model)

There are 3 main areas in the sim once you arrive, the docks, the ship itself, and the memorial to the people who were killed onboard. The docks area has a stage, a dance  floor, and several clothing shops selling modern clothing. The teleporter to the memorial is near the forward gangway of the ship.

There are several signs and greeters that will inform you of the sim rules. Onboard the ship the dress code is enforced as formal in the ballroom and aft sections of the ship.

The ship itself is the length of the sim and there are lots of places to explore and see while you are onboard. There are additional shops inside the ship as well, primarily selling formal wear.

There are a few things that came to light during the visit. For starters, the sim is not primarily an RP venue, and is not currently locked in the period time frame, so keep that in mind. While it may be possible to conduct some low-key RP onboard, remember that this is a working club and music venue. Also it is not a strict historical sim, so expect to see some modern clothing. The overall feel of the build and the look of the infrastructure is looking a little dated. That is not intended to take away anything from the overall experience, but building state of the art has progressed and some of the areas could do with a touch of TLC and updating.
