Blue Mars Pioneer Pricing

Blue Mars hosting service is now available. First 30 days of hosting is FREE!

Updated July 14, 2010 -- To share content like items, buildings, games, and activities on Blue Mars, you will need to rent a City, Block, or Shop. We are offering entry level Cities for as little as UD$30 a month. Every Pioneer package comes with a free 30-day trial period. To order, please click here, or click the Get Started button below. If you do not have a developer account, you need to create one first. If you have any questions, please email sales@avatar-reality.com.

Your first 30 days of hosting is Free! Hosting charges will not start until 30 days after you subscribe for a City. This gives you a month to get set up and running. You can purchase Blue Dollars through your Developer MyPage after you register and sign in as a developer.

Land Size

In Blue Mars, developers of all sizes are free to build on as much space as they need. The recommended maximum terrain size for a City is 8 km by 8 km due to technical considerations. For the best performance, we recommend that City developers build on a terrain that is 4 square kilometers or less (for example 2 km x 2 km). The apparent size of a City is virtually unlimited. Although Avatars cannot venture beyond the boundaries of the terrain, landscape features like water, mountains, and sky can extend to the horizon past the terrain.

Included City Data

Avatar Reality is extending the amount of included City Data from the standard 250MB to 1GB. City Data represents the total compressed file size of all content inside a city.
