All new things are usually a good sign for software. However in this case, I must plead my case again that until you change to a more reliable network protocol and backend. What is the sense? We will see people under the floor, half naked avatars, multiple people hugging at once, not even seeing people in a room when others do, music dropping to where it constantly has to be recycled off/on to hear the music, some people seeing Bob on the dance floor, other people seeing Bob walking into a chair and not getting around it, etc. Fix THAT, and NOT the things that happen in private and you might be on the road to success.

Curvedwood AKA Turnleft AKA MrFirewood has gone on to greener pastures.   Come join his friends for a  country party in honor of his memory and how he touched us.
 

Well I am not sure what this is all about as I can't find anywhere where there has been any announcement of adding something like gold transfers to the game, but I assume it has been announced somewhere.
If so I think it is a good thing and something that a lot of people have asked for over the years, yes there has been a lot have said they don't want it but that can be said for every single idea that has been put forward.
As for the effect it will have on things like DJing I don't see the massive problems that some seem think will happen, yes there will be some that will abuse it but again that happens with everything that gets added. I think that Alivia has said something that is the biggest point said so far, CHOICE, as in in opens up a choice people can make on what they do.
If you are a DJ and you want to get paid for what you do then you can, if you still want to do it for free you can and I believe many will still do so. Some will charge sometimes and other times not. Some will only DJ if they are paid and others will never charge. But the big thing is they have the choice.
The same can be said for other things like stripping and prostitution and anything else where people will be willing to pay gold for the service, people will have a choice on charging for what they do and customers will have a choice on if they want to pay for those services. 
Maybe there will be some things where what has been offered for free everyone will want to be paid for doing, like stripping may go that way, but there is a plus there as well. Unless things have changed there were never really many people willing to strip let alone make up good acts when they did. Just maybe being able to earn gold for doing so will change that.
It is also possible a lot of services people have never even thought of will start appearing in the game, if they are good they will last and if they are not they won't. Isn't it true that if they are good they will only add to the game ?
Plus if it proves to be such a problem it can always be taken away again, but I hope this time the devs give it more than 24 hour trial like they did last time.

Falling in love over the internet is extremely rare, and indeed a very, almost insurmountable task.  I agree with you that say you need to have the physical touch in order to have 100% love, but you also don't just fall in love physically.  Sometimes I think it is easier to figure out  if you love someone without the physical touch, because sometimes just having sex with someone, we think we are in love, but we really aren't, we are just infatuated with the person. The deepest of love is in our souls, our hearts, our thoughts. None of these are accomplished through touch, although it can expand on it. Those of us that have faith in God, is this love we have not accomplished without a physical touch?

I have tried to think of something in real life that 3DXChat and it's problems could be compared to, for like something with the same problems.
Best I can come up with is a really nice looking holiday resort/caravan park.
In this resort they have advertising that show all the nice features, gardens, beaches and nice buildings which atract lots of people.
You get offered discounts for booking your site for longer periods of time and many take that up.
At 1st you dismiss what appears to be a lack of attention to things like the pool filters not working properly and the door locks to your room often won't let you in.
You make some good friends with some really cool people but also notice there are a lot of people in the place that just don't seem to care about what they do and how it effects others in the resort.
After some time you start to question why there always seems to be floaties in the pool, barbaques are always not cleaned, the food on the menu is always just the same few things and the wait for it is getting redicously long.
There is a festival in a near by town and everyone goes to it, we all get back late evening just to find the gates to the main entrance aren't letting us in.
We wait and wait for hours but the owner is asleep and has not set up anything like a bell to let him know when this happens, after several hours he finally wakes and opens the gate.
Many of the customers then find that the security locks to their lots and rooms have been effected to and are still not able to get into things properly.
People start to question why there seems to be such a lack of staff, that the owner and his wife seem to be trying to do the lot.
You also notice that although they seem very capable of doing all the tasks, mostly none of them get done and they are hardly ever seen or heard from.
They have a suggestion box near their office that is overflowing with suggestions and you wake up that the box never gets looked at.
You go in the entertainment room and find some nice new games on computers where you are let believe new staff had been employed and made all those games, you get impressed and think finally, more staff, now things may start to get done.
Later you find out the games were actually copied from a resort down the road and the new staff was just a lie.
You get really frustrated with the place, you have put your caravan their and have lots of friends that you want to keep seeing, but the floaties in the pool, the never cleaned bbqs, the bad maintenance and everything else that has been complained about so many times just never seems to get addressed.
Then one day you look around and think about how rich the owners must be getting, they are making all this money and where normally a portion of it gets put back into the business to make things better for their customers, they just don't seem to be prepared to do that.
You hook up your caravan, say goodbye to all your friends and think poor buggas to all the new people you see coming in as you drive out.

Hey DocQ, you made some very great points, thank's for sharing that. I agree with pretty much everything you said but I just want to add a couple points. One drawback to falling in love over he internet is that many people on the internet wear masks and aren't genuinely themselves. These people are role-playing which is completely OK, but makes it very hard to know their true selves. For example sometimes you will see pictures on someone's profile and with a little internet search you will find out that the person on the picture is a professional model and clearly not the person you are chatting with. Or other times you have a male role-playing as a female and vice versa. Now I know that there are ways around this like chatting outside the game on skype or meeting in person. 
 
But for me love is only possible if the person is being genuinely themselves. Also i'm not a believer of love at first sight. I believe that it takes time to get to know someone and to genuinely get to know their inner soul. You can't find your soulmate unless you get to know them first. The problem with this environment is that the sexual aspect clouds people's perception on love. My opinion is that instead of being in love many people here are infatuated with the idea of being in love. Also, I find marriage in this game is more of a status symbol than actual genuine love. I recall someone once telling me that they had "won the game" because they were married. I always found that to be a very odd statement. 
 
One thing I will add is that while it is important to have a physical attraction to the other person, physical beauty eventually fades. If you don't actually have an emotional connection than your relationship is doomed to fail. What I look for is for someone's inner beauty, someone with a beautiful soul and someone I can trust. If I can find that, then I would be ready to jump in and take a leap of faith.
