ATLust is similar to Second Life in that most of the action happens on a remote server that all of the other players connect to. The HUD is just a remote control to the server. When you detach the HUD, the simulation continues in the background, although other players will no longer be able to interact with you as ATLust doesn't know where you are! After two weeks of not having the HUD detached, your account is paused until you reattach it.
The ATLust server processes data every minute on the minute. This means if you perform an action, you may get a message response showing that the action was performed, but the actual effects may not show for up to a minute.
Most of the time using ATLust will be spent on the HUD, but in order to view more detailed information, you'll need to go to the website. You can view the website through the HUD too (By clicking the house icon on the bottom left-middle of the HUD), however due to the small size and limited capabilities of the SL browser, it is recommended to do this on an external browser such as Chrome or Firefox.
Getting pregnant isn't as easy as just spamming the “Cum” button and hoping eventually a random chance occurs and a pregnancy occurs. ATLust uses a more realistic fertility cycle and species compatibility. Click here for more info on how to get pregnant.
ATLust has an in-game currency called “SexPoints”. These are rewarded for satisfying desires and earning titles. SexP can be used to purchase in-game items to enhance your ATLust experience; Such as items to speed up pregnancies, cure infections, or view more detailed fertility information. Items can be purchased through the “Item Store” on the ATLust website.
