Namespace guide
Seventeen namespaces, three families
The namespace at the end of a portal name decides its scheme, its default direction, who may register it, what is checked first and its yearly fee. Each namespace locks in its scheme, so nobody needs to remember which one to type: a portal:// typed for a .character simply opens as activate://.
Three schemes
- activate:// who you meet
- Wakes a verified identity, which comes to you wherever you are. .character .agent .avatar .figure
- portal:// where you go
- Opens a place with no storyline: an organization, a home, a realm or a destination. .business .ministry .education .home .government .realm .destination
- experience:// what happens
- Starts a storyline with a beginning, a middle and an end. .history .event .game .movie .music .book

Yearly fees
Every fee is for one year and is set per namespace, so a name's price matches its weight on the Mesh. Subnames under your own name are free.
- Free
- .avatar
- $20 a year
- .character, .agent, .home, .event, .game, .movie, .music, .book
- $50 a year
- .business, .ministry, .education, .destination, .history
- $100 a year
- .figure
- By application, $1,000 a year
- .realm
- Reserved
- .government
A realm is an application, not a checkout: you file a realm charter with its purpose, rules, content rating and Responsible Guardian, and the fee is held on your card until Jubilee approves it by hand. A .character's fee includes a year of hosting on Jubilee's Character Server with 50 GB of memory; more storage is $0.03 per GB per month.
Fair rules for every name
- Names are never resold. A name moves to another account only through Jubilee, at cost, and both sides affirm that no money changed hands for it.
- A name must go live within 90 days of payment, or it lapses. A realm has six months to open a live destination.
- Every account is a verified person or organization: Jubilee checks it once, before its first paid registration.
- An account that holds more than about ten names is reviewed by a person at Jubilee before it registers more.
When a renewal is missed
- The name goes dormant for one year. Its address, certificate and memory are held, and renewing revives it at once.
- After a year dormant, it dies: Jubilee issues a death certificate, and its owner has 30 days to export its memory.
- The address then rests for one more year, so no one can pose as the former name, and is released. There is no resurrection, and the death record stays public.
- Display names may repeat across the Mesh; addresses and permanent IDs never do.
