1. What’s HiPiHi World?
HiPiHi World is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its
residents. Please see http://www.hipihi.com/whatis.html for more
informati
2. How many different phases dose HiPiHi World have during the limited
Beta test?
Our”Genesis” duration includes “limited Beta test” and “public test”
two sections. Further, the “Limited Beta test” is divided in to four
phases with different aspects of HiPiHi world developed during those
phases.
1) “Sundering the Heavens and Splitting the Earth” phase introduces
tools for rendering terrain: hills, fields, terraces, water, flora
2) “Nu Wa creates Humankind” phase introduces tools for detailed
avatar creation
3) “The Heavenly Duke Creates the Things” phase introduces object
creation function
4) “Mirage” phase introduces the economic transaction system and
social systems
After the “Mirage” age, when an elementary social system will have
come into being, HiPiHi world will enter the open test section.
Now, HiPiHi World is at the “The Heavenly Duke Creates the Things”
phase. We look forward that you will participate in our limited beta
test, being an early resident of this brand-new world.
3. What’s the registration verification code?
The registration verification code is made up of 10 random characters,
which is acquired through the following steps:
First, you should get a verification code through online application.
Second, you can then use this code to register a HiPiHi World’s
account, and become a new HiPiHi World resident.
4. How can I get a registration verification code?
There are three ways for you to get a verification code:
1) You may use the application link on our official website:
.hipihi.com/application/application_en.jsp
2) You may apply through the following HiPiHi resident sites. HiPiHi
team will sometimes distribute several registration verification codes
there on the basis of demand,:
� The HiPiHi Paradise: http://www.hipihi.org/
� Space leader: http://www.slbazar.com/
� Hipishi: http://www.hipishi.com/bbs/index.php
3) If you are a HiPiHi resident who registered before 12:00 June 1st,
2007, you can get five verification codes for you to invite your
friends to join in HiPiHi World. To get those codes, you should go
through the following step:
First, Log on the forum http://forums.hipihi.com/main.jhtml.Second,
check out the “邀请朋友共同参加HiPiHi “创世纪”！” link on the left margin. And
last, click on the link , input your friend’s Email address, and then
press the button “邀请” .
5. How long can you get the verification code after you applied it?
Generally, we will send the verification code to your registered Email
mailbox 2 or 3 days after the application. But you should note that
because we failed many times sending codes to Gmail mailbox, you’d
better avoid using it as your registered Email mailbox.
6. Why do I fail to get the verification code long after I applied for
it?
If you do not get the verification code within three days after your
application, there maybe three reasons:
1) Your individual information is incomplete, or written incorrectly;
2) The Email address is wrong;( please avoid using Gmail mailbox)
3) In the limited Beta test, the quota of resident accounts is
limited. Therefore, sometimes we run out of accounts, and you can just
wait for the next batch.
7. How many verification codes can I apply once?
You can apply our verification code through “individual apply” or
“Group apply”. If you use the “individual apply”, every time you can
get only one code. If you use the “Group apply”, the amount we will
give out to you depends on the size of your group and your group’s
plan.
8. How can a group apply for verification codes?
We also welcome the group users to join in our HiPiHi World. As a
group application, the person who in charge of the group should fill
in the form with valid information of the group at:
http://www.hipihi.com/application/application_team_en.jsp. Once your
application is proved, we will send you a bunch of verification codes.
The number of codes is decided by the size of your group and the
group’s p
Group users include:
1) Resident Sites: forums, blogs, or other sites which are set up and
maintained by the HiPiHi World residents. Most content of those sites
should be concerned about HiPiHi World.
2) QQ Groups: set up by the HiPiHi World residents or HiPiHi's fans
through QQ (IM software).
3) Registered Companies and Organizations: which would like to take
advantage of the HiPiHi World platform to expand their business or
other non-commercial activities.
4) Private / Interest Groups: which intend to organize various
communities or become platform developers of HiPiHi World.
5) Others: Any other groups who desire to get involved into the HiPiHi
World's
forthcoming prosperity.
9. How can I register and download the client service after I get the
verification code?
Just follow the instructions on the invitation letter. Or you may use
the registration link and the client service download link ion the
registration web.
10. An error message pops out during my registration, so I cannot
complete the process. When I try again, there is another error message
“this verification code is used”, what should I do then?
The reason of this kind of problem may be that your network is not
stable. We recommend you to use IE6.0 instead. If you haven’t finished
the registration process, you can try to use the old verification code
to register again, ignoring this error message. On the other hand, the
message” this verification code is used” might indicate that your
registration information has been recorded in our database, and you
can log on HiPiHi World using your registered information directly.
If you still can’t log on, please send your problem to our customer
service mailbox: sup...@hipihi.com. It would be very helpful if your
Email includes some screen snapshots abou
11. What would you do if my registered password is more than 10
characters?
HiPiHi registration system will take only the first 10 characters as
your password. You can use your registered user name and the first 10
characters of your password to log in HiPiHi World.
12. My limited Beta test account is going to be cancelled when Hipihi
come into the open test, isn’t it?
We do not promise to reserve your user name and password at the public
test section, we will set up a new account management policy and
system then, so you need to register a new account accord with the new
standard. The good news is that if you are an early resident
(registered in the test phase), you can have the priority to choose
your new user name, (you may either keep your old user name or have a
new one). Now, we are still discussing about the details of the new
policy.
13. What’s the HiPiHi World’s System Requirements?

message” the server has no response”. What should I do?
