Multi-user interactive communication network environment

A system and method for initiating communication in real-time between two users in a multi-user communication environment. To limit the receipt of unwanted messages, a unique code is provided to a first user and transmitted by the first user to a second user outside of the multi-user communication environment. The second user may then initiate real-time communication with the first user after the code is authenticated in the multi-user communication environment. To ensure secure and comprehensible communications, at least one word may be selected from a first menu having a plurality of words to enable a second menu comprising a plurality of words. A string is formed by selecting at least one of a word from the second menu which string may then be communicated to at least one of a user or a program in the multi-user communication environment.
