@sadecatgirl

I've been taking close attention to the VIP Forum. They say that it's still valid for the new tier vips, which is a good thing. But I'm also hearing that the days are decreasing (There was a guy who claimed to buy a 3 month vip card, but only received 2 months with the new tier system..
This subject is really turning into a dumpster fire in the whole community. And to throw more gas to the fire, the "Lead Moderator" said that the Classic will be retiring in 1-2 Years in that forum, (Yeah

@Don Von Alpha Dom

they didn't kept their word).

Got Tiered VIP Questions?

Hey *************,

You've heard about our brand new Tiered VIP and we want to help make the transition as smooth as possible, especially for our legacy VIPs. If you are currently on the legacy VIP plan, there will be no change to your plan, benefits, nor payment. In fact, we will be honoring your current VIP subscription for another year.

Please note that we are no longer offering Legacy VIP for purchase on IMVU. This means if you choose to leave Legacy VIP or if your subscription lapses for any reason when you're ready to be VIP again you'll only have the option of purchasing Tiered VIP.

If you purchase a Tiered VIP membership while still on Legacy VIP, you will receive all the new benefits (i.e. Hosting, ability to collect tips in Live Rooms, and more), in addition to the Legacy VIP benefits (i.e. Credits, additional rooms, and more).

The new Tiered VIP Program has three options:
1. Gold ($4.99)
2. Platinum ($9.99) - same price as current VIP
3. Diamond ($19.99)

You are only able to access our Tiered VIP-exclusive features while on the new VIP plan.

Got VIP Questions? We've Got Answers:
• How is the Tiered VIP Program different than the Old VIP program?
• How do I upgrade my VIP status?
• Is VIP available on mobile?

For further questions join the VIP-only discussion forum or reach IMVU's customer support team.

With the new Tiered VIP Program, you receive all the same benefits PLUS receive Hosting benefits, which include the ability to receive tips in Live Rooms! For more information on the benefits and features that come with each tier, please click here.

Cheers,
IMVU

I find pretty funny when they talk about "honoring" your vip membership for another year like they are doing us a favor by delivering what we purchased.

@Don Von Alpha Dom….if imvu classic will no longer be available…what would happen to imvulite and deep client? They are base on the classic imvu right? Is this why they are pushing creator to use the new create? This will take a lot of people out of imvu….

I went to live web chat and asked what steps did I need to take to get this special they were talking about

there will be no change to your plan, benefits, nor payment. In fact, we will be honoring your current VIP subscription for another year.

They danced all around that and gave no help at all. In fact they told me to come back when my account was ended at end of the yr. and as far as gift cards go they said they are having problems getting them to work with there new system. Someone else I talked to said they are excepting gift cards right now and its all who you talk to. So family if you dont like what one person tells you and it dont sound right try someone else. IMVU is playing games with us and our accounts.

Also once you get the new tier if you have 10 rooms up you better take 5 down or they will and you may have to fix them rooms all over again. Some people worked very hard setting up rooms. Just to have IMVU rip all these room down on IMVU now is going to look pretty bare. Some say you might not even get those rooms back if IMVU takes them rooms down for you. No one trust IMVU no more and that's so sad. They are leaving it to all the new people coming in that don't know any difference and what IMVU was before they came now.

If it becomes necessary, we will attempt to modify whatever client they replace the classic one with. I can't guarantee it will have all the same features or if we'll even be able to succeed but we will try.

Hopefully though the new client won't include all the things that make IMUVLite necessary though.

This will be very awesome Data and just knowing we are still here as a family is very comforting. We will stick together we are the mafia family

Unfortunately if Classic is really going to be retiring soon, I'm probably going to retire also and try to test out SL more like KoKoNyny did. Even though I think almost every part of the new client is horrible compared to the classic (in my opinion of course),I could try to get used to, but the graphic downgrade and the fact that products that I use in my avatar get bugged in the new client is unacceptable for me.

The only way they would listen would be if people started voting with their wallet, but unfortunately that won't happen.

@DataMine

Pretty sure its going to be the "Desktop version". Just on curiosity Datamine, did you already gave a look on the Desktop version code? And is it the same language as the classic one?
