Recent Changes/Updates and Thoughts

[JohnSins]

Premiums are now able to create an unlimited amount of new avatars, though the cap is still at 6 max total, but it seems like the ability to get 1k a day is over, as new avatars for even premiums receive $0.00.... Wondering what others think about the "cost" of the new update and its possible effect on the economy of the game... Even more curious to hear from the team, if they have possible insight on why the new update was implemented....

I do hope premium not getting the 1000 a day is a bug and not intentional.

As the devs decided to give in-game currency a direct real-world value, removing the ability to gain it through a subscription is a direct devaluing of the subscription.

If this is intentional, it's a huge slap in the face to anyone with an ongoing subscription. A rather aggressive push to encourage buying in-game currency too. A bit on the shameful side really.


Or, it's just a bug, and there's no reason to expect the subscription cost to dramatically reduce to reflect it's new objectively reduced value.

 I was wandering what it is. Did not see any mention of it in update section. Would anyone in charge care to comment on the issue ?

Thats no bug, its a new strategy to earn money!

We get  no new rules for EXP, though we need so much!
The new poses are up to 5000 and 6000 Exp, we cant gain this amount by playing!
But we can buy against real cash!

We cant earn 300.000 $ for a yacht by playing silly minigames!
But we can buy against real cash!

OK, I do not want to be misunderstood: Its legal! (But not very nice! )

Why dont they earn money  by the way i wrote  some month before???

Repeat:

I would not blaim them ...
But this solution is against the spirit of the game  
I have a better idea for gaining more money:
We are far more followers than one million players!
Why dont the devs put a billboard in each location?
They can sell it for a lot of money:
"Drink Coca Cola!"
"Stiffer cock with Viagra!"
"Drive Volkswagen!"  and so on....  

Maybe they would be able to pay some more programmer to develop the game...  

(Sorry for my bad english!  )

   Wow, I hope it doesn't go away, I got my 1k today, from my new avatar.

Confirmed by Vadim: You can make any number of avatars you wish, but you only get the $1k bonus for a new avatar once every 24 hours.

In essence, it's still $1k a day for Premium members, the major difference is that you can create more than one avatar a day now. The maximum of 1 avatar for free accounts and 6 avatars for premium accounts remains unchanged.

Edit: The potential for abuse is of course there. However, the impression was that it seemed unfair to the majority of players who just want to create new avatars without the once-a-day limit. If that abuse does turn out to outweigh the benefits, I'd expect it to change.

Also, you can now see which server you're on next to the room name! Overdue? Yeah. Useful? Definitely.

Okay, thank you for the good explanation, JCF ! 
I would like to hear before the indignation rises...

BTW: I cannot see any reason to create more than one avatar a day, but thats my humble oppinion...
Otherwise: Is its possible to get the information: "You created your last avatar  yesterday at 5,47 am !"  ???
That would be useful too!

Can't we simply have a thread for each new update...? this way we know what new feature is being discussed

[Overfiend]

Does anyone know what's in the pipelne for this month's update?
I do think a date stamp for the last created avatar is helpful.
I also think basic avatar stats at login is helpful like sex level, exp points and cash on hand and new messages

[Retired-Fire-Fighter]

I don't have a problem, with being able to create multiple avatars. I would like to see a change though, maybe after midnight, game time, then the first premium avatar created, get the 1k. That would be an easier way to make sure premium players, only get 1k every 24 hours, without having to create 10 avatars, up to an hour after the 24 hours are up to get the 1k.
