Considering history of this game, it's really hard to believe into words of developers. I am first to praise when it's deserved, I did on many occasions. On other hand I also do not believe it's DDoS just from the last night example where game went down literally for 5 to 10 minutes before coming up again and reading by Lisa in World Chat that it was "DDoS" I have never heard of DDoS attempt that was solved within 5 minutes to 10 minutes. In all honesty I do think they cannot handle the load due to Corona Sale / People in quarantine and DDoS is well cheap excuse to try to fix what they can. (otherwise fixes such as limited refresh rate of rooms and friendlist would not be implemented)

Yeah they do. They are also including user content which in past literally took them several months to even get reply for. I remember collars. My friend made those so he made them send them to devs, waited 3 months for reply, they told them to fix something he done that in 30 minutes and send it back then again took them 3 months to hear from them and forum topic of idk how many pages begging for them to add it. but that's bit off topic. Overall, yea, you are right, they are no longer treating this as a side project. Though how deep their knowledge of this game is, remain to be seen. Cause if I remember correctly, they didn't made this game but bought it ( not sure if i am remembering that right) But I do know that Rochi (one who made DLL) had to teach gizmo several things and she never worked with unity only took this as a hobby to put game apart. Not like we have all the features from the DLL back (gimme my timestamps :x)

Well honestly, Developers deleted old "poll" site with features as well many popular topics that went against their ideology including my own where they uploaded excel documents of sex poses, promising me and the community that all poses will be ported to FF. So there is reason why I wrote that. I do take developers competency into account, which most new people here do not as they do not remember everything that happened in past. It's also why I voted no because I am sure about few things: 1) If they decided to add a pure shemale / futa / trans avi or whatever else it would take too long and too much from other content. Some promises in past literally took almost year of development with no other updates. The others? For example I remember where we voted for a group sex during 2015. People were excited hoping for FFF and MMM, lots of us voted "yes" due to that instead of other updates we could picked because we believed everyone would be included. When was the first FFF? I think at the end of 2019 or start of 2020. I also do believe if it was an easy way for them to add 3rd gender without reworking whole system they would do so. I don't believe its possible from the technical standpoint. Perhaps it is, I might be wrong. 2)If history here taught me anything is that if it's possible to screw up, they would. I truly believe they would cut some poses from F/F or some pairings like idk trans /F would lack several they can use now not to mention other errors. Also reworking all clothes and so on to include cock. Do you know that clipping with several dresses and panties / legs? That cut panties / leg into hole in space? Once upon time that didn't exist and the avis worked just fine. Why it's not working for years? no one knows. Males weren't erect all the time too If I remember right, why is that gone? 3) Some people here are delusional you can see some in this topic, not goin to name them but for example just at quick glance from page 1,2 some hate that there's even strap on option for females just because THEY might never use it should we delete strap on now? Cause some snowflake hates it? So I am not going to even comment on that as I feel my IQ dropped by the time I got to last page of this topic. Overall, I do like your posts, especially in other topics as I find myself agreeing with you on several occasions. Edit: My arrogant attitude is from the fact that there is just way too many "gender" configurations to please everyone. Futas, MtF, FtM, Futas with cock only, Futas with both, Neko, furry whatever else they identify as. Adding just one would open a new can of worms, more complaining and likely way too many issues to handle. Not to mention we got tons of RPers with all 3 character spots filled this would force them to delete or buy another account which is another can of worms, not to mention tons of ppl are already bitchin that there should just be one avi. I do really think that half of the ppl or more in this topic have no clue about scope of things they are asking and what it would follow. I do think what we have now is "good enough" I think it could be improved but I do think adding 3rd gender creates more problems than it solves. I didn't even touched on all that drama that's goin on there. Not to mention the US statistics according to wikipedia is 0.6% that identify as other gender than male or female so let's say 2% of true TG be it FtM or MtF here. So from financial and any other standpoint adding pure transgender character is not worth if it would affect development time of anything else used by larger majority of players and again what if someone is futa and want to have both? What if they hate word shemale / transgender ugh ugh and ugh.

And correct me if I am wrong, but that's majority of female avis and always have been, especially Futas or whatever you want to call it since everyone got different label. The "Real" TG or whatever label you want to use to identify is such minority in RL that any survey in US or EU I can find comes somewhere between 0.3% to 0.6% which well... can damn be a rounding error and I very much doubt that 70% of female avis or more avis in 3DX are TG in real, but then according to profiles they are. Since it's more safe environment I do agree there can be more, but not majority more as it's currently in 3DXchat. I don't get how can ppl be offended if you are a real girl and having there a "cock toggle" not like you have to ever use it. The only situation where cock gets put on automatically is - if you without any RP jump straight into sex where you are on TOP in penetration pose with another female and then you have to change to strap in M/F pairing this also got a special tab (ie bisexual) so it never occurs. Putting it on by accident is also really damn hard as the toggle is on far end of UI. I play 3DXchat since 2014 and I literally do not understand how can it be problem "every day". I would like to see your 3DXchat play to see how you trip over cock option daily. If TG was writing this - that they have to put cock on every day, okay I would understood a little as pussy is a default choice and there is only one scenario where you get put on cock automatically. -------- So while I am up for adding some improvements on the system as a choice of it being a "wearable" perhaps in inventory or whatever else. I do think there are more important things that need focus on and needed for long time, especially now with the server stability. There are bugs I encounter for years, there were bugs that took years to fix and I think there are a lot more important things to fix or add first than reworking the whole avatar system cause few special snowflakes. Profiles are there for a reason and this topic was beaten to death years ago already. The cock toggle was most likely added there due to technical reasons as it simply was an easy fix versus reworking the system to include third gender. I was really vocal from 2014 - 2017 here and had some (by now deleted topics) where we persuaded devs to add more F/F or pure F/F poses. Long ago it was so barren that FM had over idk 60 poses while FF or MM had 15 and perhaps 5. Lot's of things changed for better and still does. IF they would include or spent half year reworking gender system or how long it would take, it would open new can of worms with poses. What if you are TG but don't want cock? What if you are TG but suddenly you don't have access to some pure F/F poses? What if you are Woman and suddenly half of the strap / cock poses got removed because devs thought girls would never use those? I also remember that long ass time ago there was just a cock, it was rigid as fuck, there was no strap or anything you just had to deal with it in those total of 3 poses you had compared to today.

I actually remember it took them around 2 years to implement a private message from friendlist. Back then you had to write an gift to a person to meet at some location just to open chat if you didn't had them added outside of the game or on forums. (mind you a paid gift as there was no free xgold at the time). I think 5 gifts were like 3 euro in xgold back then? I bet most people know don't know that. Edited due to being tired as f.

Since this is my last post in this topic. My personal beliefs doesn't matter. Not that I do believe you are trans or anything, I don't even believe you are troll, cause trolls are clever and you... well, you are pathethic. Block me in game or not. I think that's just going to do me favor. I did reported you, and several your post and none of the reports are because what you have between your legs or what you think or feel or seek pity that you are. All the reports I done were basically, spamming, trolling, breaking rules, literally pushing people away from forums. It's very sad that the forums are regulated so poorly as the ban implementations here are so easy to work around. Once every year or two some fool always shows up who gets banned 5 + times before they get bored and move onto another platform.

Honestly, I am not sure why you all even responding to that person posts, the best thing to do is click report > write a short or lenghty message how is breaking all the rules, spamming and breaking discussions that he is lowering quality of forums as well discussions can't proceed due to his spam. Not first time they closed his accounts and won't be last unfortunately.

As someone who been here longer than most of you (6 years) you are wrong on numbers. Where did you pulled out a 9$ each month, from the Corona sale? As long as I remember the game at least in Europe is priced at around 20 to 27 Euro per month depending on country (due to tax) that roughly translates to 23 - 30 $. I understand at the moment there is heaviest sale there ever been on the game lasting past 2 months which is basically result of Corona and their initiative to fit with big companies who all offered some discounts or bonuses in online games. There is also a heavy sale each year from around mid December to mid January for a year of subscription. There was no other sale as far as I am aware. Majority of new players are not joining during a month over Christmas, not to mention a new player tries a game for a month and not buying a year asap to get discount. As well I know tons of older people who still pay by a month. So majority is still likely on a month sub which is around 20$ before Corona. This is also standard in most online games. Most people pay by month to try then leave, new join etc etc. People paying for year are usually a minority as it's sum of money most aren't willing to pay upfront. They do not need a manager to communicate. They are small company with very few members and communicating issues can be done easily. I insist you look at 2 indie games - Rimworld and Stardew Valley. While it's true these games made millions, Stardew is done by single person and he keeps responding on twitter, on reddit and so on. So no it's not hard to communicate. They refused to, In fact you should be happy they are giving you any info at all because from around 2016 to end of 2019 there was basically a radio silence with update once every 3 to 9 months. I seen a lot. For example their stance for user content, in past it took them months to communicate if we send them some poses, collars and so on and they still refused to add things to game regardless of quality. So the development over past several months changed a lot. From discord introduction to monthly, sometimes even weekly updates. Back then many speculated they only do this as a side job. You can speculate how much they make from game all you want, you don't know size of their staff, they only ever posted something several years ago a single picture about their staff. servers are cheap as f these days. You don't know where they live (pressumably somewhere in russia) where the living standard is much lower than US or Western EU meaning for same cash you can buy a lot more. Not even mentioning gold. Gold wasn't always free and during first 2 to 3 years you had to buy it and many did. Not to mention we know there are several people with 4 to 8k gifts, they aren't getting that from daily flow. As for them not doing anything you can obviously seen they are trying some (pretty desperate if you ask me) measures for example the last patch introduced 2 things - User room update limit and Friends online status limit (both once per 10 seconds, instead of instantly) to lighten the load on the server. Most likely the server finally crapped due to spaghetti code they have or awful hardware or both. It's very likely they were / are waiting for corona pandemic to end so the load on the server lightens up as people go back to work and streets but as the corona outbreak is still happening even coming back up here in west it didn't worked out so well . Seems like enough players stayed over and server finally crapped out.

To your first part -> DDoS is punishable by law in about every modern country. Random google search shows 10 to 30 years in prison + penalties upwards to 250 000 $ obviously It's case by case and I am no lawyer just good old google jutsu. To the second part -> Competitors have more to lose than to gain, company usually acts in good of shareholders so not 1 person. This is either some troll, some hacker group flexing or someone trying to blackmail for whatever reason.

Actually, the only one who tossed insults here is you. I given you a reply and then you insulted me and in indirect way developers in your previous post. I wrote earlier on this topic why not. You came here obviously not reading a second post in this topic and then using a few sentences that aren't your own calling developers out that they have no protection, which you again have no clue about. If you were educated in basic IT security or just little bit interested in tech world you would know that many major companies that face these issues were shut down for days while someone done attack like this. All I did was called you out on something you done and then gave you two examples of large multi-billion worth companies that faced same problems, so you could check on your own. But I guess I am stupid cow while you paste articles trying to look smart without even understanding what's going on. And to answer your question directly. -> Yes, I obviously have more experience than you in this matter. Since I said enough why, several posts before you even wrote your awful question which you stole from some PR article that tries to sell a product.

No, it's highly unlikely anything like that can happen. DDoS is more about connection. In simple terms imagine a straw in your ice cold drink. Now part of ice breaks and gets stuck at bottom of the straw and no matter how hard you try to sip, the drink ain't coming. So imagine DDoS is the ice in this case. The water is still there, just the straw is clogged. Not much with their database / and stuff as much as connection.

Mhm, sure. Very fancy read, looks more like copy pasted from some random article and not something from your brain. Oh here I found it https://www.myrasecurity.com/en/what-is-a-ddos-attack/ . Next time, talk about something you understand instead trying to look smart and pasting some random article. Tell me if it took Blizzard / PSN / Other major multi - billion companies days to week to solve. Why you think about small indie dev team with less members than you have fingers on hand can solve or prevent this? As far as I know no protection is perfect, and you don't have enough knowledge to know if they have protection or not. Not to mention we don't know their infrastructure or if they can even afford protection if there's not one in place. I do remember when there was last DDoS on WoW around time the last expansion released. There were issues and downtime for several hours each day or perhaps even full downtime for day or two in row. There was police and brightest of engineers working on that attack to solve it as thousands were cut from their services and yet they couldn't restore it fully for days. IF a company worth 20$ billion ain't capable of resolving DDoS in a day. What makes you think 3DX can?

Because magic and fairy dust. Playstation network was DDoSed for several days to weeks couple of years ago.. well in the era of PS3. Blizzard battle.net went down for a weekend twice in row this year due to DDoS and that wasn't first time in their history. Am sure there were many more attacks on different companies, I do remember BBC(not the 3DX kind) few years ago. You can use google to find out more, I doubt our mighty overlords Gizmo and Lisa can prevent DDoS if big companies like these can't. Obviously there are security tools and measures that can and I am sure are implemented all over networks. But even that might not be enough in some persistent cases. So ignore opinion of the armchair administrators that it can be solved in seconds. I have my opinions about developers but in this case not much they can do.

You people are funny. @Rondon Racist
