General Chat

[Lover]

@apollo13nut why didnt you just turn off chat ?

I can't speak for apollo, but if you wan't to take part at the general chat, you can't turn it off.

Let's assume the Development Team reads this.

Would we want to say pay 1A$ every time we open a room?

In that case I would want to be able to invite in whomever I wished.

I would prefer private rooms being a premium perk. Then people have more reason to pay for memberships, while chat comes back and private rooms do exist. Now, would we want only premiums to be able to enter private chats? Or just that premiums can open rooms but invite anyone they want?

My vote would be it takes a premium to open, but they can invite anyone in.

I would like to see it as a perk for premium members to be able to open chat rooms and be able to invite anyone to it. And I would pay a higher membership fee for it instead of paying $A everytime I open a chatroom. It should be freely usuable. And it would be nice if the chat rooms had no limits as far as numbers of people entering.
The advantage of premium members opening their own chatroom, is that you have a moderator (the one that opens the room) to control what happens inside. Conversations will be 'confined'to the circle that are discussing a subject while “general chat” remains open as a lobby for people to meet. Including the ones that have a two word vocabulary

An only premium jacuzzi private room would be awsome, just to get a nice premium perk.

Swimwear required! (nice chance to design some new clothing, for the gus too!)

[Janine Dee]

I would say the swimwear should be optional.  :

I would also say that I can't see private rooms as THAT large of a programming hurdle to require a bump in membership fees. I'm just brainstorming ways to make it both available to all (general type chat) while making a premium perk to encourage memberships.

it wouldnt be that bad if there was no actions in the jacuzzi and just kind of scenery

It's a chat room Unhealer,…and for those with a good imagination and descriptive abilities such a setting could launch some interesting encounters.

It should be a premium feature. Staying out of the non-premium conversation though. I have the feeling at some point someones going to gripe about their exclusion if it occurred. One though though if excluded, excludes all non-premiums.

[Janine Dee]

I'm honestly unsure. I DO believe that opening rooms should be a premium perk. It's if frees should be allowed in rooms that I'm unsure of. I mean I've met some wonderful frees (and yes I encouraged them to go premium) and I wouldn't mind being able to invite them into a chat room I would open, but I think a key point between you and I Bear is I would see that as a perk for me while you would see that as a perk for them. 

Seriously though I think that's the big issue here on AChat. Where those lines are drawn between the premiums, the frees, and letting the premiums use the frees.

Yes I know “use” is an ugly word, but I felt it more accurate in this case.

[Bear]

Really have no honest opinion in this other than whatever the rule it should be applied evenly. I think that is one area you and I will agree on.

[Janine Dee]

Yep, right now it's just a matter of feeling out where it should fall.

[Lover]

I am not sure if non-prem should be allowed to enter a room, a prem has opened. But I think, only prems should be allowed to open a room.

[Bear]

As a thought, if it is an added feature premiums only. If one has to purchase the option,..then it should be restriction free. 

[TightFit74]

Lover, in a way, according to me, you said it correctly. A non-prem should be allowed to enter a room. By the one that opened it. And I do agree that should be a prem option only… Non-prems will get their fill in a the 'lobby' I should think. You could tell from what happened in the general chat room.
One more thing though, a comment from the moderator was that the other 3 rooms were hardly used. But if you add an application/addition to the program unannounced, with no explanations how it works and what the feature are, then you shouldn't be surprised that people have to figure out how it works. I'm convinced that in due time, all chatrooms would have filled up…

[Lover]

I agree TightFit74.

And to the comment from A-Team: Many didn't know the other rooms; I also believe they would have been used anywhen. But they have to remember the kiss-principle: Keep It Simple and Stupid.

Many useres (you notice it by the question they are asking) do not search for themselves. They also do not try or look around. They are just “taking” what is in front of their eyes.
So, imho, it's not a miracle, the other rooms have been empty in the beginning.
