AHT

Sorry to post on this, but I think one of the best things a newbie - or anybody - can do when chatting to people for the first time is to ask open questions. For example: So you started a conversation with "hi" and "how are you?" but somebody can respond "fine thank you" and the conversation is closed. Try "tell me about your day" as now they are made to think and talk. So the following is from an article on how small talk can help your career - well you have to entertain clients right?
 
Copied and pasted from the article "Save Yourself From Tedious Smalltalk" by Sue Shellenbarger of the Wall Street Journal. It's from the Work/Life section so it has a focus on careers and networking.
 
Sorry if these are a bit silly, but you get the idea:
 
How you answer at the start of a conversation could make the difference between something boring and something deeper.
OPENER: “I just moved here two months ago.” 
SMALL TALK REPLY: “I’ve been here 10 years.” 
BETTER: “What has it been like getting used to a new city?”
 
OPENER: “I found the speaker so fascinating.” 
SMALL TALK REPLY: “Me, too.” 
BETTER: “Tell me more about what caught your attention.”
 
OPENER: “I’m starting a new company.” 
SMALL TALK REPLY: “I work for XYZ Company.” 
BETTER: “What kind of people are you looking for to help you make a go of it?”
 
OPENER: “This hot weather is killing me.” 
SMALL TALK REPLY: “Me too, I can’t wait until it cools off.” 
BETTER: “Do you think the weather affects people’s moods or job performance?”
 
also: "Many people who rely on small talk don’t realize they lack critical conversational skills "
 
and finally: "Such skills also make you happier. People who have more substantive conversations with others report a greater sense of well-being than those who engage in small talk, according to research led by Matthias Mehl, a psychology professor at the University of Arizona. "
 
So there! Get doing it!

I can't believe someone actually complained about clipping issues with custom rooms lmao.

exactly. a little common sense would tell you that an "as IRL" dining set placement is not going to work for most sex poses. 

This is rather old topic as some have mentioned. Usually is by this subject often mentioned some kind of fear of prostitution in a sense, that prostitutes will take over 3DX world...Because I've been playing as an escort for a long time and still do occasionally, I consider this fear from escort invasion (very) exaggerated. First of all, for majority of escorts that I have come across, is this just a role play and not a real business, many would probably continue to prefer Gifts and not xGold, for vast majority of them is xGold completely useless, same as Gifts on the end. For me personally, xGold wouldn’t be useless since I do host but only occasionally a room, and exactly those people: people who often host rooms, Dj's, room designers..would profit from Gold sharing by far at most. And I think that's a good thing, that people can reward some cool room designers....with something at least partially useful. Probably this would contribute a lot to room diversity on top...which is badly needed in my opinion. Certainly few people would make escort alts to get xGold, but I doubt that this would be really a big number.

Someone will come back and after 2-3 years should find what? An empty friend list because the New user of that name did shit or many many more? Thats a bad idea. If it is really difficult to find a good name, just try to use chat gpt. It can help. 

As a nod to the Amazing results from the countless hours of successful effort dedicated to making 3DXchat what it is today, from Gizmo and Lisa and all of the many great content creators,..

How to Import Assets from Unity 4 to Unreal 4 - Cliffnotes.

Import Unity 5 assets in UE4
https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/import-unity-5-assets-in-ue4/96543/7
Notion being to clone the pre-built, procedurally generated map shown in the UE5 link and tie-in as much functionality from 3dxChat as possible.
Would be amazing to freely roam that map (like in GTA5) with a focus on non-violent 3dxChat activities & fun!!  (role playing, fashion shows, orgies, etc... oh my!!!
...said experimentation sentiments certainly extended to Gizmo, Lisa & all of 3dxChat as well 🙂

I mean to be fair I've got 242,000 xgold, so right now the 3dx site sells 300,000 xgold for $249!!!! Admittedly not many will be buying that much, but if I could transfer a bit and get a few $$$$$ it would be mint!!!

@Twiggy You seem to be stuck on the notion of people buying Xgold and selling it cheaper on the net, if one sells it for half of what they got it for does not seem like a wise business decision.
Where is the profit?
I am glad there has been 1 person in this whole thread that has it exactly right, thx THX Builder for offering the most clarity on this in this thread.

I tried out "Achat" years ago maybe some of you know that game and i would go that far to say they are real masters when it comes to "forcing money out of you", because you have to pay for every animation and also for outfit parts.
When you don't have an active subscription you are fucked because you can't use what you have bought already.
Also when i hate the whole concept what made me quit that place (beside the awful graphic of course) they at least can say they don't took money for "divorce".
I mean. c'mon, 3DXChat seems to lead that genre, there is no need beeing like that.
Edit: I forgot to point onto the possibility that you can buy locations in AChat, which are only on paper, so you can waste "tons of money" to get literally nothing, just to appear on a useless property list.

Twiggy, first of all your not going to sell it at full value. Even in the paid worlds resale hovers around 70% value. 
Secondly, you already paid far more to make that 100,000  in subscription fees so you wouldn't make any profit.
Lastly, as I said, resale in paid worlds has never impacted them to stop using those systems. If they were losing money they would have stopped using them. Yes it has ZERO impact in terms of influencing whether to stop using those systems. It is obviously more profitable to have them for the companies. I was in RLC for 7 years. I designed and sold. The subscription was $29. A month. I and hundreds of others NEVER paid that subscription fee to the company. We paid it through our sales. That means the company didn't make $360 a year from subscriptions from hundreds of subscribers and yet they were makinng $10 million a year from subscriptions and purchase of their currency from other subscribers to buy our stuff. RLC even paid real interest on real money like a bank. There was times that rate was better than RL.  Your line of arguement simply doesn't work.
Btw, I watched a guy offer a 1000 XGold prize to the first person to find a hidden room. The 3DX world didn't end.
 

Yeah but you could abuse that. Leave my home, spend hours in the changing room and then jump back to catch me with somebody.

Yes there are some really good ones, and there are some that just plays Spotify lists that others made, and some even plays others streams and pretends it is them doing it. It is the same with buildings and rooms too. I don`t even know how many times i have heard the words " i made this " just because they painted the floor another color and downloaded some random things and put them in the room.
It is how ever not a democracy, and i also doubt that you will be heard, because i doubt no one cares. They have enough with their own little clique's. and those "lucky" few that are in the right ones, would never dare to say or do anything to rock the boat.
And as far as fixing anything to make it more fair, the fact that some people can still use 50 letters in the room description, and some are stuck with 30, years after it became known, makes me really doubt that "who`s the dj ?" would ever be a priority.
At least not until the "right" people starts to question it too.

Same issue, crashes only at 3dx not any other game. My solution was a stronger power adapter, got 700W now, stable.

this comes up all the time and the answer is so easy!

Aside of adjusting graphics, you also may want to change your FPS Limit. If its currently Unlimited - game going to always try to use maximum of your graphic card. 

I remember years ago when they use to put things like pumpkins in the nightclub at Halloween that would turn you into a ghost.  Not sure why they took things like that out.

Well I believe these are the women's dungarees:

so get looking for some men's stuff here. Would be nice to have some dapper chaps!

Theres no reason fo a Lovense room. Tha peeps who use em have tha option to advertize in their profile. They dont need to all be in tha same room like a dildo gang. Clicking on their Lovense link takes you to tha Lovense site where ya can browse all ya dildos of choice. 😋
And another ting, please please please dont give us Lovense props and textures in tha Builder either. Plenty of other far better updates we could have than that. But some of you will prolleh want a giant Dildo in ya room, perhaps.🤣
General rooms, just leave em, whether you like them or not, there are peeps who frequently go there. Not everyone likes tha same old Orgy Room or Beach Club regurgitated with some new wall textures and a few little updates from tha Downloaded one, a thousand times. Generally tha top rooms are all D/led and modded ones, mostlee ah says, mostlee. Only General local that is generally empty all tha time is that 5 dolla Bargin Bin Special from tha Unity Store, Saloon. Nuke that place if ya want and build ya Dildo Worship room their, no one will really even notice.😝

This is event topic, no need to invent problems there are none, personal drama and game bugs discussed in other place

So it begins...
 

oh this bugs me too

Wouldn't it just be best to leave the topic present incase somebody else has a similair issue? I get what you mean about locking it, but this forum is not regularly moderated.

Well I am sorry but except the part when Gizmo says it will be released in about a month, I dont see anything wrong.
They fucked their timing but for the rest they are doing what they announced.

But you'll also recall he said he can't say much about it! Yah, the "in about a month" line was silly as on 3dx forum that translates as "next week".
