Title: Differences between free and premium users in chat
Post by: stray on May 07, 2013, 01:31:23 PM
Hi, I'd like to have differents colours for free and premium users,

for example:

FreeUser69: hi
ImmaPremium: Hey!

Lot of times I need to click on the "?" for know if the person is premium or not, and when I see he's not premium I back to searching, and I must start again from the first page...
With different colours I could just don't check free users profiles ^.^"

Thank you

Again a very novel idea, however I would like to reiterate that free users are our potential premium members of the future. I think to alienate them in such a way will alienate the very people we want to attract to the site.

There are also many reasons why they are free users,  some are testing the game out before they become premiums and are showing due caution before spending good money on a game -  to me that is sensible and if that person is respectful and interesting , then I think its quite rude to judge him or her  just because they are free users.

I think we would also be rude to treat a person in such a way too, and if I was ostracized or prejudged in such a way, I would question whether this is where I would like to spend my money.

Some countries also do not allow such sites to operate and they are unable to make payments to join as a premium. Should we ignore these people ? I think they have as much right to be here as we do and should be shown due hospitality.  Their reasons for being here are no doubt similar to ours who have the good fortune to have more freedom.

They also might be financially embarrassed for a time, having more urgent needs to spend their money on , than a sex site,  or are between renewing their membership for the same reasons.

There is a danger here of  alienating free users and I for one , want to encourage new membership and not give them the impression they are not welcome here.  They are.

Yup you have all the reasons, but I'm not here for give charity  :P
I don't have fun with a free user,I need a nice person but I also need poses and a nice avatar.

Can know if a player is premium or not without checking his profile is not a big discrimination, it's just a shortcut for do the same thing I do atm.

I have a Spouse since the first day I got the game, he is Free User and will use I think. We see regurlary.
I have Friends and Lovers Free Users also.
What bothers me is that when a  Premium when they again become Free, they still keep their blue star!
So we can not recognize Free and Premium! You understand what I mean  :)

Then if you feel that strongly, use the busy button for free users.  I understand its personal choice.

It has been discussed before in other topics ,  and I think generally agreed that  the blue star should change colour when a premiumship has expired until it has been renewed again.  Otherwise , it can and does mislead other members to believe their membership is current.

Most do state it though,  in chat if you ask them... communication is the key until the Achat Gods decide if or when to change it .

 I agree with brandy on this , if you dont want read free users , just set "busy for free users" and you will not be disturbed anymore .

I know on other sex sites they do have a different color to designate current member to basic member but this site is quite a bit different from those other ones. Sometimes there are free users that have just joined or are testing it out and just want to speak with somebody that has been around for some advice or some tidbits on the game. Seems a lot of times I end up being the one to help even though I'm far down the list in search. Due to finances, I cannot really help them out too much but talk and give advice as to what I know or where to go to find some things. Such is the life as of now though and will continue to be like that until who knows when. Never stops me from being active in the forum though lol. Seem to spend more time here than on achat itself.

These ideas of using colors are great but....
For a person who is red-green colorblind they are useless. As is the present indicator dot at the top left.
And based on my research that could be as many as 10% of the male users.

they could be the red-bind colorblind feature who sets differents colours, that's happen in few games.

We would need three different colours actually. Free user, free member and prem member.

I understand you stray, but don't you have to check the profiles even if you see they are prem? You don't know if they have nice avas, which poses and so on if you just see they are prem. At least you have to talk to them.

Read this topic:

There is a suggestion for different colours to differ between your friends/lovers and other members. Of course you can add your own ideas there too.

I probably play with more free users than other.
Can still remember when I was new and struggling.
If the free users see how much fun the site can be they may join up for premium.
Just want to put in a word for being friendly if you have the time.

I think the issue is that probably half the blue stars aren't premium. Color coding would help us distinguish between who's a n00b and who's just cheap. They really need to set it up so the blue star goes away when your sub expires though.

I agree they need a way to separate the free members from the premium. The blue star doesn't help at all. If they can re-do that system to where the star is on if you have a premium account and when your subscription expires is goes away. I don't like using the ignore/busy button I don't want to miss out on some users are still free or have expired account. But being able to distinguish accounts of users would be a big help.
