Introduction

What CITY is, what it can do, and what happens the first time you use it.

Every premium feature, free

CITY's number one feature is the price. It has the features other Discord bots lock behind a paid premium plan, and it gives all of them away for free. There is no premium tier, no paywall and no "upgrade to unlock". Every server gets everything.

Use all of it, or just the part you need

You don't have to use everything. Plenty of servers add CITY for one job, like moderation or logging, and switch the rest off. Server managers choose what is turned on for their server from the dashboard at bossx.ca. Some of the things you can use CITY for on their own:

  • Moderation: warnings, bans and timeouts, temporary bans, and auto-moderation.
  • Logging: a record of what happens in your server, sent to a channel you choose.
  • Temporary voice channels: members join a portal and get their own private voice channel, which cleans itself up when it's empty.
  • Embed building: build and post custom embeds without writing any code.
  • Leveling and ranks: members earn XP by chatting and climb the leaderboard, with rank cards and level roles handed out automatically.
  • Reaction roles: let members pick their own roles by reacting to a message.
  • Auto-roles and sticky roles: give roles to new members, and keep them in place if someone leaves and comes back.
  • Welcome, leave and ban messages: sent to a channel or straight to the member's DMs.
  • Giveaways and polls: launch one in seconds and let CITY run it.
  • Auto-responders and auto-reactions: reply to, or react to, messages automatically.
  • Member count channels: show your member count in a channel name.
  • Server Discovery and bump reminders: advertise your server so new members can find it, and get reminded when it's time to bump.
  • Free game alerts: get free games posted to your server.

An economy game with 188 items

If you want more than tools, CITY is also a full game. There are 188 items in CITY, and players can get all of them: by fishing, mining and hunting, by working jobs, by crafting and recycling, by buying them in the shop, or by being given them by a friend. And there is a lot to do with them. Use them, sell them for Bucks, craft new ones, break them down into materials with recycling, give them away, or wear the outfits. The Items page lists every one.

Adding CITY to a server

Once CITY has been invited to a server, it is ready to use right away. There is nothing to set up first. Members run its slash commands, and server managers can open the dashboard at bossx.ca to turn features on or off per server.

CITY keeps one account per person, shared across every server the bot is in. Your balance, character, and progress travel with you.

The first time you interact

The first time you run any CITY command, before your account exists, the bot stops and walks you through a short setup. Nobody else can see it, and it only happens once.

The first step is picking a color for your character. There are thirteen to choose from:

  • Red
  • Orange
  • Yellow
  • Green
  • Aqua
  • Blue
  • Purple
  • Pink
  • Brown
  • Tan
  • White
  • Grey
  • Black

This is only the starting color. It is not locked in, and picking one now does not stop you changing it later.

Choosing a body type

After the color, CITY asks you to pick a body type. There are two, labelled simply Body Type A and Body Type B. This is a look only. It has no effect on your character's performance, your earnings, or anything you can do in the bot.

Once both are chosen, a short tour covers currency, your profile, getting help, and the rank system. You can replay that tour any time with /tutorial.

Your character traits

Your color and your body type are your character's traits. They show up wherever your character is drawn, such as your /profile, and they sit alongside the cosmetic side of CITY, hairstyles and outfits, which you unlock and equip separately.

Changing them later

Neither choice is permanent. You can restyle your character whenever you like with /customize:

  • /customize color switches your character color.
  • /customize body switches your body type.

Each change costs 5 Gold. Gold is CITY's premium currency, so a change is meant to be a deliberate choice rather than something you do every day. You earn Gold by playing, and the more you build up, the more freely you can re-style your character. Color and body type changes only ever cost Gold, never real money.
