>>823740 Once there the blood given by the user it's converted into an in world token called Ichor.
So here's how it works. You declare an amount you want to give lets say 1.5 pints. The entity controlling the terminal will look for the point on your body where it can extract the blood and take exactly that amount. It will then open a portal and you will be sucked into the Alter. Once there you will be in a completely white room that is pretty much called 'Your room" it is in intermediary space between the Alter and Earth. This space will be a home for all your trinkets and bobbles and can be customized with the things you've gained from users or anything of that nature. From there you will be given the equivalent of the blood given in tokens . (In this instance it would be about 15k Ichor) You can stay in this space for as long as you have Ichor to pay the in world daily tax (About 500 per day) From your room space you can truly enter the Alternet based off of where you last left (Or your first entry being the Hub a small city made of other users plots and buildings and services and things created by the entity that controls the space)
Wanted to mention that there is also a maintenance fee based off on user generated creations that persist such as user created zones, user created buildings, user created npcs. This amount will normally be taken away from the entry fee, but if your making money in the world it will just take it from that and bank the ichor you made.
Also time works differently in that work. a week in there is a day out in the real world type of energy.
