I'll have to post in here... *grins* 1. What features do you like most ? Easy and cheesy answer : oLisa's Some more detailed version : Well I guess I don't like any feature at all. Let me explain : We are given a platform to play with and some kind of social experiment to enjoy. If I wanted features I'd go to RLC where I can build entire worlds or design clothes and skins (been there, done that). If I wanted poses, I'd go to Achat where there must be 30 times more poses than in here with seamless transitions between them (hint : that would be a good thing to work on) Yet I have been here for some time now and sticked on spending time on 3Dx servers. The community is awsome, graphics are incredible (yet I think you could sqeeze more from the unity engine... Those square trees on the beach... awww), I built up some friendships and even more thanks to that "game". But that's no "features", that's just people. Bottom line is : You come for the graphics, you stay for the people. (I said cOme ) 2. What would you say to get some new players ? You can't give it a try. That's a shame, it would be worth it. Have a go at Juliet's demo to get a hint on the graphics. Yet it's an experience more than just some 3D environment with sex enabled. You'll sign in for a month. You'll blame it for the lack of poses after having fucked everyone around in every single pose you can think of. And then you'll realize that this game is less about fucking than about interacting with people. You'll resign at the end of that first month... And you'll be starting missing the people you met in there. Then you'll sign back in for another month, just to keep in touch with them. And an other one after that... Then you won't even feel you're hooked, but you will hate every day you don't have time to connect (or when servers are down ). Maybe you'll find true friends there, maybe you'll find love... Maybe you'll just find relief. But you'll sure be finding what you look for, and maybe some good things you didn't expect at all. My 2c.

I must agree with D1 on each and every word. I love this game, I have been playing it for a few months (well call that years now) and never even thought of going back to other same themed games where I still had accounts. Partly because of the graphics on which no other game of that kind can compete with up to now, but mostly because of the community. Yet I do feel quite puzzled with the development schedule. You set a suggestion board on to be used (and even deleted a thread about dev issues I made in here) but you don't seem to even look at it lest take it into account. Shemales and 3sums have been asked for as long as I have been playing the game, given the status of "under development" and yet all we got for now are some clothes and a few poses. With no communication whatsoever regarding those hot issues. Oh yes, you also introduced some kind of ingame currency. For now it is harmless but I do fear for the future as I already see people asking for gifts in exchange of sexual favors... You are ahead of competition for now, question is how much do you want to keep it that way ? As I see it for now things are slowing down as you feel quite happy with your current success. As it has been said before, being ahead of competition doesn't spare you the efforts of developing further, on the contrary it should put pressure on you to outperform yourselves and keep the lead. You do have a great product, sell it ! But to do so you have to communicate and improve it. You have talented people around that are eager to help. Take them into account. And keep everyone updated on how things goes. That the bare minimum.

Nope! I'm a sex machine!

But with the right hairdresser you can Rochi!

Bad hair day for Lisa and Shawn

I just feel ridiculous with my photoshop skills when I see that. And almost ashamed of how little I can show my love for the one I care for.

I promised Spanks I'd do it... A little rough and not finished cult movie of the eighties :

http://sketchtoy.com/60724817 I stand prepared for the consequences. Next : A donkey randomly kissing 2 mules with a green outfit. Oh and by the way Lisa, I just love you.

There you go my dear Eve... http://sketchtoy.com/60597626 Next : A space monkey flavored icecream

Here it comes... http://sketchtoy.com/60597185 Next : Sunny nights

I can do that ! http://sketchtoy.com/60572590 Next : Bill Gates skating down mount rushmore.

Here's your zebra (more of a cowbra actually) http://sketchtoy.com/60568951 Next : Justin Bieber eating a bacon flavoured banana on the golden gate bridge. (gotta raise the challenge a bit)

I didn't... http://sketchtoy.com/60564100 Next : A duck kicking Chuck Norris

Can you believe photobucket thought the "Abifle Road" cover was in violation of their terms of use... Well... Lets have it hosted here :

Pretty sure you all missed me... On second thought, maybe some didn't.

The sheep was consenting !

Everyone fears boobsharks, but greater danger lies in the shadows of the deepest seas... (soundtrack)

My pleasure. This one's for you sis : Not sure if you're good or bad, but you definitely ain't ugly !

As requested... (I didn't even have to change the tagline )

I definitely agree on that. Allowing the use of xgold to buy IG items (clothing/hair styles/furniture/...) would give it IG value by making it visible. Giving it value means you can tell which people can (or want to) afford it from those who can't, obviously splitting the community (if ever such thing still exists IG). Optimistic people will see it as something mimicking RL with little to no consequences. Pessimistic ones will argue potential consequences will be jealousy and added frustration/peer pressure to afford novelties. Truth may lie in between, but I for sure am slightly pessimistic about human beings behaviour when it comes to "money", and I definitely don't see the point in copying RL (what would be next for added realism? Alarm clocks in the morning? Chores? OMG NOOOOOES! ). I would like to add 2 more points : One about trust, because I remember reading somewhere that game content was supposed to remain free for subscribers. And a perhaps more "technical" point : Implementing such trade mechanisms and novelties to be bought will use development time. Development time we do pay for with our subscriptions and I wouldn't like to be paying for the programming of some game mechanisms designed to make me pay more. May I remind all that 3DXChat may be the best looking game of its kind, but it is definitely far from being the cheapest. Most games that ask you to pay for additional content are either free or quite cheap to subscribe to. My 2 cents... for what they're worth in xgolds...

I have quite mixed feelings about user generated content. On the one hand I'd love to see some variety in the available outfits (be it only custom pictures for tees as suggested by Amari -and I'd love to see my silliness on IG t-shirts ), but on the other hand I can already foresee trouble : You speak of quality insurance? Who will judge what is allowed in game and what's not? The devs? May I remind you we, as a community, already have some trouble accepting a simple set of rules (see the "dogs" thread for instance)... Just imagine when a topic will be created for each design that won't be accepted asking for explanations... What would be judged acceptable or not? Based on which legal system? On which cultural background? As a commercial game, 3DX has to comply to some regulations (and no I won't earn a Godwin point here). Some pictures/acts may be considered unlawful/offensive in some countries/cultures but not in others. Just think about cows in India. Do I need to remind you we are an international community? Someone mentioned monetizing the whole thing. Taking aside the fact I'm strongly against any further IG economy, I can only remember all the arguments I've seen in each game that offered players a way to sell to others. How much time after such a possibility exists before we end up flooded IG and on the forum with endless claims that the promised "good" was not delivered/not paid for/poorly done/not what I wanted... The bottom line is that I see it as a far more complicated issue than "just" allowing people to upload their "work of art", with deeper consequences than it first appear. Plus implementing such thing may not be the top priority for our devs at present time. My $0.02.
