Adera, what you are unfortunately doing at the moment: You stop each creativity. I know you don't want it, as you're really thinking about this, but it happens. I started this thread just to collect ideas. We don't have to ask if possible or not, that's not our job. At the moment we do this, we stuck in a problem state.
To discuss about single suggestions I made the mentor-poll. There we can check if it is a good idea or not. And the A-Team is able to see, if they want it, how many members are willing to help.

So this thread is just for collecting ideas, just for area thinking.
If they take some of our ideas, at least it's their decision how to do it. I (together with you all) wanna offer a pool of ideas and they have to decide, which is useful and also able to handle.
Probably 8 of 10 ideas will be silly - but the other 2 might be fantastic.

I agree that freeusers should not get a trial period. They can try their chat up to bag a premium and try the  whole range of poses. Their success will depend on their social skills . I was  a freeuser for about 4 or 5 weeks before coming premium. I guess being a girl is easier as there are way more guys but I , like others here, have shown  new guys around and some have gone on to be prems. Obviously rude ones dont get the time of day, but we dont want to attract people like that here in any case.
The trial period would only be taken advantage of  by unscrupulous  multi- avatar users -  free users and prems alike.

I'm also loathe to allow anonymous freeusers to post on the main forum, as I think this could also be open to abuse. Far better to allow them perhaps limited access to a separate topic area , where they can voice their ideas and questions and perhaps the chosen moderator, then, transfering it to the correct topic platform for discussion. Then any abusive freeusers can be banned & barred.

I just think, there should be some kind of commitment from a member, usually monatary , before they are upgraded to full use of the Achat facilities.It just leaves it wide open to be abused and no doubt annoy fully paid up members.  The separate topic area would give them an idea of how Forum is used and posting etiquette. They can read the main Forum platforms in any case and  also access the game.
I think there is enough there for them to make an informed decision then on whether to subscribe or not.

@hentai and adera :yousay " people can experience almost everything AChat offers with the free membership that we have now?" , not really true. they cant :

- cum /pee
- use the slow bar
- use others clothes than free clothes
- use others poses than free poses
- create clothes by editing and post them here
- ask someone to be lover or spouse
- room for a 3some (men)

and maybe some others i forgot , so no they cant experience all things achat offer with a free membership  :)

Rukya, you are right talking about a meeting of two free users.......but if a free user meet a prem, all the poses are working, no metter if free one have them or not. and clothes....yes, they can't use them, but i don't think a free user is so interssed in them!


Anyway, no one have to forget we are collecting idea and the last word on them isn't in our power but in the hands of A-team.

It's under the eyes of all of us how dev-team is following our topic and we can see some really good release (speed bar, tab sistem for poses, ecc...) born thanks to our suggestion, so i think every new idea will be analized by them and the goods one elaborated. So, before telling yes or no, lets see all the idea we can collect and start to talk of them.

Adera &  Brandy, i understand your point of view, but let's wait for others comment before being so negative whit it! Wonder if things gonna change so soon or not!

*Sigh* so as long as I only have more ideas than those already posted here or have positive feedback to give on the ideas I should post here? Oh well, sorry.

Lover, please change the topic from "How to get and keep members" to "Collecting ideas for AChat (topic not open for discussion)" so it clearly shows that this is a thread where we're amassing ideas and not actually discussing them. The current topic of the thread is very misleading since it implies that the content of the thread is to be discussed upon.

Not what i mean, Adera......i think we have lot of material to talk about.
Any criticism is wellcome, you know, just don't be so closed in the view of all the full thing. I know the trial period isn't really necessary now, cause at last free user can experience most of the things we have now if they meet a premium, so basically you are right for the moment. in the future, maybe (but i don't bet on it!), things can change, so talking of it can't be so wrong.

so, please, remove that ugly expression on your face or i'll come to your room, pinch your cheek and pull them up in a forced smile!

If you are trying to recruit more premiums, then the site has got to create a product with premium substance that make people want to upgrade and stick around. I see no need to offer free trial. This site already  provides the greatest access to "sex " of any site out there for non paying member. Period. I don't see a need for further enticement.

Diversity into more theme specific driven rooms (ie... bdsm)  which are premium only...options for clothing design,  access to multiple chat channels, these are ideas which create a wider gap between the paying and non-paying clientele... the are substance of service that will encourage more to join.

I am with Adera that there is no need to provide a "free" sample  period. That only encourages free users to make multiple accounts.

Make clothing changes, add piece, or remove piece accessible while inside a room.

Bear, the chat can't be different for free or premium user or it will be a mess. maybe just add an option for prem to create a personal channel for small group, a sort of "guild channel"

Update interime report of the collected ideas and added some of my own:
- Advertizing
- Encourage membership of forum
- Simplify using the forum (button in game and also opening the forum for free user after registration)
- "Accepting" more help of users (developing clothes, backgrounds...)
- Keep the chance to start as free user and offer a starter kit for becoming prem (e.g. 3 old poses, some clothes...)
- Adding the quick-start guides into the game
- Shemale robot
- Advanced chat system (generall chat, chat rooms, group chat....)
- Improve graphic
- Develop the community itself
- Open forum for all, perhaps an non-public area for prem members
- Having a group of members being mentors
- Improve search-function (using wildcards, searching for mentors...)
- Incentives for helping free user become prem
- Do something against whores
- Do something against rudeness
- Prune membership listings for the forum
- Offering more help for new members (give them a list of mentors, link to forum and the quick-start guides)
- Keep Achat simple and unique
- Offer more body and room options for more individualization
- Make an app for tablet pc (ipad, samsung, sony...)
- Better profile system with more space for personal info (maybe an auto hide sistem for the description area!?)
- Offer some package at the shop. example: all the lap dance poses whit a 20% of low price then buy them one by one.
- Offer a "test-membership" for 7 days
- Allow free user limited access to one board (after subscribing to the forum)
- Diversity into more theme specific driven rooms (ie... bdsm)  which are premium only
- Options for clothing design
- Access to multiple chat channels
- Make clothing changes, add piece, or remove piece accessible while inside a room

More suggestions?

Hiya's...

   I think all the suggestions are valid and should get consideration.  My only snag is the "free trial".  I am so afraid that people who are not old enough will gain access to the site (it only takes a mouse click).  My worse fear is that somehow it will spill over into the real world, and the too young user will have met the person here and then blame AChat.  Maybe my fears are groundless but it still gives me concern.  Back in my social working days I saw way too much abuse, and some of it came via the internet.

   I'm sorry if this is a bit hard to understand, I was trying to pick words that would not be taken out.

Thanks for letting me share,
Pafe

Even now those that are too young can get access to the free membership... which is just too bad. I just hope I don't run into those too young.
