Persistent Worlds

Standard worlds you create will be deleted after the duration of your world has ended. Persistent worlds will stick around, allowing you to maintain access groups, live config, events, and other world state.

Create a persistent world

Follow the same steps as in Worlds. Before starting your world, enable "Create persistent world" in the optional settings.

Launch world modal with the "Create persistent world" option highlighted and enabled.

When this world's duration has ended, the world will transition to be inactive instead of being deleted. You can find your world under the "Inactive Worlds" tab on the left side of the Worlds page:
