  1. I absolutely love what I'm seeing from Beta 3.0 so far. To the person that said XGold transfers are bad for the community, please explain how tf it's bad? 3DX will only benefit from a more involved micro-economy like other virtual games. I can't wait for these changes to make their way to the main server. Is there a time estimate at all?
  2. At this point in time, I believe the ignore function is sufficient for the problem that people are articulating. I am saying I do not think there needs to be an alternative. I do not really think there is a pressing problem that needs to be fixed. However, I am humble to the fact that given more experience in 3DX, maybe I would in fact see a need as you see a need. In that case, I would recommend a team of regulated volunteer moderators that are powered across all rooms and can respond in real time to issues that are occurring. These volunteers would be trained to only take action in the event of a TOS violation, and if they abuse their powers, they would be removed from the team. This would strike a balance between the alleged need to immediately deal with problem people, while also ensuring fairness in how accused subscribers are restricted from the game experience. If one of these volunteers isn't in your particular room, a type of 911 call out system could be created to bring a situation to the attention of a regulated volunteer no matter what room in the world they're in. Yeah, Laina, like I said in my previous post, I understand you're saying it's not that big of a difference from the current system, and I'm saying even the current system has too much room for abuse and potential for inappropriately limiting subscriber experiences.
  3. I actually disagree with the current system, too. Just so you know that there is some logical coherence in my position. I'm not saying that boot powers are excessive, but being able to permanently stop a subscriber from entering rooms is okay. I think they're both flawed, because a subscriber is determining, unilaterally and without any regard for whether an actual TOS violation has occurred, what access/experience another subscriber is going to have in the game. This won't amount to much if it's only small rooms, but does amount to a concerning significance with rooms that are more medium to large size. Well, that's very disturbing that someone would be so motivated to waste money on that level. However, I suspect along with Xizi that you may be exaggerating a bit regarding the quantity. I would still disagree that based on the actions of a handful of disturbed individuals that will spend that amount of money, the game should be developing systems that have other consequences. "You seem pretty worried about this. Why is that?" - This is the question I was referring to when I said vilifying. My question about who defines asshats was not a literal one. I obviously know that you're arguing the room owner should. My question was more about, what type of person in both character and position should be defining these boundaries when you consider the impact. Your real life house example is not applicable. My house is my property, purchased with my money. I have full property rights to it and therefore rightly may create, amend, and remove rules of the property, and unilaterally decide who may be on my property. Transferring that situation to here would point to SexGameDevil's authorities over 3DXChat, because 3DXChat is the property of SexGameDevil. If a subscriber makes a room called "Lolipop Fantasy F*ckLand," that doesn't make that subscriber an empowered agent of 3DXChat just because they made that room. The room isn't a property in and of itself - it's a digital fiction within an actual intellectual property. This is the part of my position that I don't think you're appreciating. A room owner is just a peer subscriber. A room owner is not an agent of SexGameDevil. If you take a step back and think about it, it's lunacy to suggest that just because someone has created a room in 3DXChat, they are now going to be given authorities similar to an agent of SexGameDevil to alter a subscriber's experience/access in the game even though this room owner subscriber is unregulated, unaccountable, and not bound to ensure action is only taken if a TOS violation has occurred. If you were in my room engaging in conduct I didn't like, I would use the ignore function, maybe the report function too depending on what the conduct is. I could go the extra step and suggest to others in the room to do the same if they don't want their experience ruined. Although, I would suspect that the others in the room are adults with minds of their own and can make their own determinations about what is bothering them.
  4. Laina, maybe I'm just not understanding this completely, cause you're saying they can create endless accounts, but this game is behind a paywall, so how exactly is that happening so conveniently for these alleged perpetrators? Honest question. Some of your RL examples are what I would consider poor examples, because they don't involve someone who has subscribed to a service through payment and is by contract entitled to the full game experience unless they are deemed to be in violation of the Terms of Service by a staff member of the game, not another peer subscriber. THX, are you attempting to vilify me with that line of questioning? I thought witch trials were history. "Oh no! She thinks witch trials are crazy! She must be a witch too!" Really? That's lazy, and you should know that. I am a libertarian at heart. I am familiar with these other worlds you speak of and I see tons of abuse in those worlds. As I said before, people who are not actual staff of the business (and therefore have no financial interest in behaving professionally) tend to be horrible with online powers. I'm speaking from experience as a former chief moderator of a game much larger than 3DX. This issue I'm pointing out, and which you aren't really appreciating, is who is defining the boundary of "asshat" and should a peer subscriber be determining who is an asshat and who isn't an asshat? To me that seems like a recipe for disaster to give unregulated and unaccountable players of the game the ability to take action against other paying players, again speaking from tons of experience in moderating.
  5. Except it's not that simple. Consider that at any given time in 3DX, there are maybe 3 rooms that are really hot spots with a lot of people. Now consider a room mod/owner kicking people out of popular rooms, not because they're actually being a troublemaker, but because "well, I just don't like this person, so f*ck him." This subscriber has now unilaterally taken a significant chunk of game experience away from another subscriber. No actual game staff involved. No reasonable set of rules involved. No formal inquiry process. Why is there such an obsession with controlling people in online fantasy worlds? That's a good question to ask. If you don't like someone, ignore them. Allow other people to come to their own determinations with said ignore function. Pretty simple.
  6. So I just saw a female avatar that had a custom nipple color (I guess a legacy alteration? Too new to be sure). It looked amazing. No burnt ass, crusty orange looking nipples that put my boner into the graveyard. Can you please make this a priority? You can change almost every other color of a body part, except for nipples. Why? This seems like it would be such an easy thing to allow users to do, and have such an impact on the game experience.
  7. This is not a minor concern. People tend to suck with online "powers." I believe the ignore function is sufficient. Anyone in your room who is being bothered by a troublemaker can use the existing function to resolve the issue. "Their room, their rules" doesn't fly with me. It is SexGameDevil's game, SexGameDevil's rules. One customer should not be able to take enforcement action against another customer in the game experience.
  8. Your assumptions about my intentions here do not change the fact that the probability is that the game would experience more growth in a free to play model. However, I acknowledge some of the reasonable concerns you've expressed and thank you for expressing your opposition respectfully. Trial would be one step, but I worry that after the trial expires, people who find the non-sale subscription fee to be too onerous will just bow out and venture to free to play platforms. $20 a month for a game is twice as much as the biggest streaming media platforms. For a game reference, it is the same price as some all access passes which give you access to 100+ games to play, including AAA titles. I don't think the paywall has that benefit. I'm pretty sure any minor can buy a paysafecard and get access to 3DX. Your observations are out of step with reality. All those virtual worlds provide opportunities for voluntary exchange. Users are free to determine for themselves whether a request being made is abusive/exploitative and to subsequently withdraw. You are currently living in a capitalist society, are you not? Do you find yourself being forced to buy expensive cars? Are people being forced to pay for prostitutes IRL? Are sex work customers being forced to pay any rate that's demanded of them? The only things forced are tax, some form of shelter, food, some form of medical services, and some form transportation. The majority of sex in the world is not payment-based, even as the option exists for many to request payment. This empirical fact alone dismantles your position.
  9. With respect, I think you are fear-mongering and discounting the power of human agency. You believe that there will suddenly be mass exploitation occurring as if the same market forces of real life wouldn't naturally regulate what occurs on 3DX (i.e., you can write 125 gifts and I can tell you to take a hike as I have an independent mind and can discern the difference between abuse and just adding a playful element to an RP). I also take issue with your characterization that anyone being for this idea wants to be "financially milked." You can keep your judgment in check as you simultaneously keep your strawman fallacious arguing in check - a sex-based virtual world should also by its essence be virtually judgment free. Otherwise, what's the point? Again, it's not about exploitation, it's about just having a fun optional feature added, which will self-regulate, because no one is forced to partake. On the subject of making xgold more relevant to purchase a variety of things, I personally believe it would actually be beneficial to 3DX as a business and as a community for that type of system to replace the subscription entry model. Paywalls are barriers that are anti-growth. The only reason I decided to cross the paywall to try this was because my friend was strongly recommending this and there was the quarantine sale taking place. It is certainly turning tons of people away from ever trying this. Free entry with incentives to purchase game credits to develop your in-game experience is a model that would encourage growth. But anyway, that's outside the scope of this particular suggestion, which is very narrow in what it's asking.
  10. I find it bizarre that you can change the colour of almost any feature in the character editor, but you can't change the colour of nipples (in a sex-focused game, no less!).
  11. 100% for this. Would add a new dynamic to the game.
  12. Happening again for me. I think this may be an issue with COVID-19 server load.
  13. So I'm subscribed... Installed the game. Made my avatar. Cannot operate the chat function. I type something and press Enter and all it does is highlight my text without sending it. It also seems that I can't receive any chat messages. I've tried pressing the Send button too. I've tried World chat, Local chat, PM chat... same thing in all chats. OS: Windows 10 Edit: Re-installed it and it seems to be working now. Please disregard.
  14. My second attempt was with a prepaid credit card, which is the one that made absolutely no sense why it didn't go through. I might try the Bitcoin option. Also, the Paypal thing should work for the Game-Time code since that's not necessarily adult related. They even say in their FAQ that Paypal will work that way, but then it's not in the drop down... Thanks for the replies.
