That is the solution.

Even giving nothing would be better. The temptation to create new accounts should be completely eliminated cuz right now this game is full of ghost accounts. Or, if devs can, they should make those 1000 bucks Non-transferable.

Hmmm... not sure I like that possibility.

I am a Premium user since April 2016, and I've just renewed for another six months (and believe me, unless something major happens I plan on renewing again after those six months are over)... and yet I think many of us, particularly those using male avatars, have little choice but use alt accounts to earn money at a decent rate.

I know, because I do (even if I am Premium). I try not to abuse this, but until the devs implement ways to make money more quickly (especially for male avatars) and/or ways that don't require to play minigames for long periods of time, I will keep doing so - but always within reasonable limits.

This being said... I would respectfully suggest that the devs add several means for Premium players to earn cash fast, aside from the latest method implemented (i.e., trading real dollars for in-game money); here are a few suggestions:

1) Allow Premium players a different way to earn money at the brothel. Instead of making one's avatar available to other players for 1 to 5 hours with no garantee of income, a Premium player could be allowed to lend his/her avatar(s) for the a given amount of time (several hours, perhaps even days), with no possibility of interrupting the agreed amount of time (i.e., you lend your avatar for 3 hours, you CAN'T log with it for 3 hours - period), in exchange for a flat rate of payment (say, the minimum of 30$/hour, or perhaps 300$/day to a maximum of one week). The avatar is effectively "off the game" for that period of time.

2) Create virtual jobs for Premium players. The fluff would be up to the devs, but in essence, you agree to make your avatar(s) unavailable (and unusable by their owners) for a set period of 8 to 10 hours a day, during which you earn, say, 30$ to 50$/hour (randomly determined each day). Limit of 5 days of such work/week (i.e., no "work" on weekends). It's up to the player to determine which 8-10 hours of a given 24-hour period are used for this. The avatar is effectively "off the game" for that period of time.

3) Set up a "rental" service for Premium player. What I mean by this is, Premium players could "rent" an avatar (only ONE at a time) to a paying customer for a set number of days for 500$ a day/level (this is different than using someone else's avatar at madame Olivia's). The player purchasing this "rent" would temporarily get the rented avatar as his own, but with no money and only the clothes it currently was wearing - and could use it in a hotel room as he/shes pleases for as long as the "rent" lasts. Of course, the renting player could NOT erase the rented avatar, modify it, nor buy anything for it - just use it for sex in a room. HOWEVER... all the poses learned by the rented avatar would be available to use!

P.S. In case you are wondering... why do I need so much ingame money? I'm eagerly awaiting the implementation of appartements (and later, houses), but I'm afraid those will cost HUGE amounts of cash... so I'm piling up for that. Besides that, I'm not particulary desperate to earn that much money, believe me!
