# The Open Gates update

*v1.2 · October 2026*

Open your gates. Walk through theirs.

- **[Explore worlds](#explore-worlds):** Worlds their keepers opened to all. Find one, and step through.
- **[List your world](#list-your-world):** Name it, tell its tale, and open its gates to every traveller.
- **[Report it](#report-it):** A foul line, a stolen world, a cruel name: report it where you see it.

- **[Report a name](https://riventale.world/rules/#reporting-a-player):** A cairn or a chest with a cruel name: flag it where you read it.

**Also new:**

- Explore worlds shows the worlds with players first, then those most visited this week. New shows the newest.
- A listed world is joined from the list without its code, and its link brings friends straight in.
- A world is listed by its keeper, signed in. Its name and tale pass the chat filter.
- Unlist takes a world off the list at once. Its codes and invite links work as before.
- Reports from three signed-in players take a world off the list until a moderator looks.
- Report world sits in the pause menu of any private world but your own.
- Your strike now drives forward into the blow.
- One Block shows its phase, your count and the next phase's mark.

## Explore worlds

**Explore worlds** on the title menu lists the worlds their keepers have opened to everyone. **Playing now** puts the worlds with players in them first, then those visited most this week; **New** shows the worlds listed in the last three days that nobody is in yet. Each row has the world’s name, its keeper, its kind and the players in it now. Tap one and you are in, no code needed.

Invite from inside a listed world and your friends get a link that brings them straight to it.

## List your world

Sign in, open **Explore worlds**, and press **List** beside a world of yours on our server. Give it a name and, if you like, one line of its tale; both pass the same filter as chat. **Unlist** takes it off the list at once, and its codes and invite links work as before.

## Report it

Report what you see, where you see it: tap a name in chat and **Report** the line; **Report world** in the pause menu of someone else’s private world, or **Report** on its row in Explore worlds; the flag on a chest’s name, or Report after reading a cairn. Pick a reason, and moderators see exactly what was said or named.

Reports from three signed-in players take a world off the list until a moderator looks. Nothing in it is lost.
