Give world creators access to analytics about their world

It'd be helpful for world creators to know how many people are entering their world as well as how often users are coming back.

Since this is roadmapped, I want to tag on a suggested analytic that would greatly benefit creators, users, and VRChat: allow users to set their own personal rating for a given world.
From the user's perspective, this would serve to help remind themselves of worlds they've been to before and liked, or if they haven't been there before then as motivation to check it out. With hundreds of thousands of worlds, many with no description, common names, and a single generic image, it's a pain to explore worlds that aren't brand new when many of them you've been to before and didn't like, but don't remember until after you download hundreds of megabytes to join it again. Since this is a personal rating that only the user sees (no total/average shown on the world to users, except to the creator and VRChat), it's not abusable via brigading.
From the creator's perspective, being able to see how people are responding to their worlds serves as useful metric on whether or not people are enjoying their work. Favorites somewhat help with this at present, but with limited favorite slots it falls short of being truly useful.
From VRChat's perspective, you all now get a lot of extra data on what worlds are being well received and how they compare to each other. It could also enable experimentation with different discovery algorithms based on that data (not just in a global sense, but in a per-user sense as "similar worlds based on your interests"), without the worry of abuse that comes with publicly visible world ratings.

Prismic247 This is the best proposal for world ratings I’ve seen yet. Keeping user’s ratings visible only to that user and to the author of a world via analytics solves most of the moderation and performance-relevancy issues that arise from a simple public rating system.

In Progress, according to VRChat Creators Roadmap (August 2026).

I'd like more accurate demographic info:

Age
Nationality
Rank (are more new players joining, or more trusted users?)

If I find something surprising, like an uptick in users from Canada and France, that may promote the need for a French translation that I can't currently see right now. When I ask about ages on group tours, they tend to be much older (30+). It'd be good to have that broken down in a line graph somehow, to see where they rise, where they peak, where they fall off.

Analytics are important and need more data:

We need to know:

Durations: How long are people staying? are they joining and leaving?
Heatmaps: Where are they hanging out? Are they standing at spawn or can they find the social areas, which social areas are underperforming?
Player counts: Is the world at capacity most of the time, should I add or less player slots for best fit
Performance and Hardware: Are quest players getting lower frames, do they need more tuning, are certain brands of GPUs having issues, is desktop performance worse than VR?
- Do android users have more RAM than I thought, do they need a battery saving setting for the world?
- Is my world the issue or avatars the performance bottleneck?
World Visiters: Is a majority of my playtime repeat guests or 1 time visitors
- Is it easy for visitors to stay longer, is there player retention issues by player experience or rank
Location: Is a majority of my visitors from Japan or Mexico?
- Should I spend time to add multilingual options?
Time Zones: are players visiting my maps during the weekdays or do they only get on for "drinking" nights on weekends? What are the peak times to do a multi-instance event?
Player Feedback: Did the players like or dislike, what was their total time at review

In the disappeared virtual world of Twinity, places could be rated from 1 to 5 stars and a note of the visit could be left, usually with compliments about the place. These notes could be a great idea, since they encouraged creativity.

It would also be useful of analytics to show pc/mobile visits count, favorites count etc, so I can determine if it's worth it to upkeep the mobile version of my world.

I NEED THIS SO BADLY. Obviously quest is going to be the biggest demographic, but like... metrics on how long someone is in world? Per platform? If we can break down usage to even what stations/items in the world are being interacted with most often? I could better try and expand features that are more popular, and try to fix/improve features that aren't as popular! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MY WORLD IS BEING USED?!

I would appreciate this having had a world uploaded recently, and would like to have feed back. Alongside if the world was reported to see what it was reported for to be able to improve worlds.
