in shortest terms, karga is a 3d chat system. it can also
be called a simple virtual reality enviroment
similar to multiplayer games, users can move around in
3d places, see and talk to each other, change their appearance, interact
with the enviroment and each other (like dancing and kissing)
users may also play simple games like 'rock paper scissors'.
hopefully, in the future there will be more game elements
like puzzles, vehicles, usable items, team based games etc.

- any operating system that supports java 5 (Windows, Linux, Mac
OsX, Solaris etc)
- a 2000 mhz or faster computer with 384 mb of ram is recommended
- java 5 or higher required. click
here to check for java
- graphics card is irrelevant since karga uses software renderer
like most games best way to get used to karga is to play
with it. just follow the entry page and you are
in ;)
basicly one moves around with keyboard and interacts with
mouse. a context based pop-up menu appears with right click. mouse cursor
changes to indicate interactable objects (such as users)
camera can be adjusted as first or third person
while talking cartoon style balloons appear over avatars.
talking comes in three flavours: whisper, normal or shout
at least for now karga is unmoderated. if you are disturbed
by someone right click over him/her and select 'dont see xxx'. after then
you wont see each other
well this is it at a glance, now login and have fun ;)

papel is the virtual money unit of karga. it can be used
to to rent/buy dressings and other services
users earn karga papels by just spending time in karga.
current rate is 1 papel per hour. away periods do not count.
dont worry about disconnecting from karga before one hour completes
as time spent is silently cumulated in background
users may also earn papels by requesting papels from their
partners for dancing, kisssing etc
buying karga papels via PayPal is also possible at shop
part of the site

make sure you have java 5 installed. click

thanks to java web start technology, there is no installer.
just click one of the links at entry page
|
java takes security serious and sometimes too serious. going
in fullscreen requires some previllages and you need to trust
(give previllages) to run karga in fullscreen
|
guest login can be removed at any time. behind that registered
users have certain benefits: nobody else can use their nicknames,
their avatar configurations persist among sessions etc.

seems as somehow another application
is default for jnlp file extensions. reinstalling
java may help
|
right click over him/her and suggest an action ('to kiss' in
this case)
|
karga is unmoderated. right click
on him/her and select 'dont see mr devil' from popup menu. you
wont see each other again
|
definitely not for ethical reasons.
it just triples animation amount (hence space and download time)
for kissing

'aptal karga' means 'foolish crow' in turkish:
he is the crow who resurrected for revenge after his death but
forgot his reason of resurrection because of the happiness of
returning life again. foolish crow is not real, just an urband
legend among crows
