The VR consists of a realistic recreation of the main town plaza in Cieza with links to 3 zones where people can build virtual homes. As part of the project, courses were offered so people could learn to build and publish scenes in VRML 2.0. Ciez@ Virtual was created by Silicon Artistis and Compaq.

Live poetry readings in the City Theater for anybody who likes to listen to romantic poems or, if you're more down-to-earth, stand-up comedy shows. There are also auditions for people who would rather entertain than be entertained. The City Guides, organized by Sherry, give tours of blaxxun's various multiuser worlds. The tours are scheduled for the last Saturday of each month at 4PM Colony City time and begin in the Colony City Theater. Look for more information about the tours in the Colony City Daily News. The City Stadium has also opened! The stadium's programming allows users to be either spectators or players, as well as featuring many more options. Get your friends together and organize a game!

The Louvre Museum has a new exhibition on 16th-century paintings. At the opening day on February 17th was a conference scheduled in which attendees could ask questions on the project in text and got the answer in live audio. The very popular French writer Patrice Le Lorraine was invited on February 18th for an interview about his new book. In all, community members are involved in events at more than 30 clubs weekly, and more than 300 districts of Paris are now available for the artistic and personal expressions of their inhabitants.
