lol i get it. i mean to be honest pixel dick to get off to or "sexting"

lol i would rather sext then get off to pixels for 20k+ credits if im honest lmao

but in the end i feel like imvus just running it self in the ground. haha

I totally get it, I think you're right. This whole direction with AP+ should've happened years ago. Hell, it should've been apart of regular AP from the start even, but I get it with their rhyme and reasons. I don't think IMVU was ever gonna be as popular as it once was, in the same way SL isn't. But I think things started to decline as soon as mobile became a thing. Different audience, different staff and directions at IMVU. Doesn't have to be that way, but neglecting the Classic client like they have and screwing over older users has been the icing on the cake. If they ever do completely nuke the Classic client, it will be the end.

aint that the damn truth lol. who knows i guess we will have to see how things end up ^^

That's what I said too prices are ridiculously high and if I want a penis i will get a black market penis private upload and a sex room they charge monthly for ap+ that's more of a shit

i will stick with the mafia products and if imvu messes with them i will go to 3dxchat.

dont blame you!

Honestly, it may be possible for creators to simply just upload their own products and use them privately as AP+, essentially cutting down the costs of the AP+ items for many people. That is unless IMVU decides to inflate AP+ item submission prices by 5x. I heard that AP+ should be releasing for everyone somewhere in 2025. I'm personally hyped to see what it may bring as well as the "married couple" benefits I see in your post. Hopefully the inflation only lasts like this until AP+ is released for everyone. I think the prices of 20-60k credits is only a thing for now since AP+ is scarce and there are only few users.

I hope you're right and I really hope IMVU sees sense for the full release. I don't see how it won't be dead on arrival if they keep the current(?) pricing model of sub AND 20k+ per-item. Especially when the community and beta users have already said no, it's way too much and given them that feedback. As much as I'd love to watch them squirm as a company, I also want what's best for the community, so I genuinely hope they turn it around and do right by AP users and BM users alike. Even if they say something like VIP users get a 25% discount on AP+ items, just something to meet us half way.

As for the release, I suspect it's coming very soon after the New Year. I don't think they'd change the product rating and go through the vetting and submission process with Apple, Google and Android unless it was close to being ready for release. Especially since it means it's available in less countries and to less users as a result; they wouldn't just cut off a portion of their income and users for nothing.

Yeah. I hope there is a benefit for VIP or married couples that experience some sort of discount for AP+. Something I wonder is that if you have to buy the Access Pass to gain the option to buy Access Pass plus. That would really suck on top of the possible price "inflation". Again I'm hoping that inflation only lasts until beta is over. Hopefully it is available soon after New Year, it's been more than half a year now since it was first announced as coming out "soon". IMVU said they had no plans to revert the subscriptions or whatever so hopefully there is some sort of discount being discussed for certain people.

Agreed! I will say that I'm not too worried about the price combo of AP and AP+. I think most people of age are probably going to get AP anyway, so I think it's slightly moot. That said, it is another possible avenue to offer some kind of discount for AP+ or AP itself if you buy them together. Maybe a bundle where you get the price of AP+ off of regular AP. I think most people are likely to already have AP though and without being too elitist, I think IMVU should focus far more of long-term users before new users right now. Or ideally both, but veteran users have been pretty consistently shafted since mobile.
