Now time for some cringe. These people here paid on the patreons to become NPCs on the map.
My guess is
tier 1 - nameplate only with blueman avatar
tier 2 - nameplate with custom avatar
tier 3 - nameplate with custom avatar and custom dialogue voice line

Imagine. PAYING to become an NPC. Hehehe. But more power to them as they do bring in some content no matter how cringe it is.
They're dubbed "THE VETERANS", a ragged tag team of old VRchat users that would stopthe PROJECT REBIRTH from corrupting and DESTROYING VRCHAT.

With VRpill dead now, tupper is next... who can stop this bastard and his plans? Could it be you anon? Will you help stop this cringe story?
TUNE IN NEXT TIME!
