Game Ideas. Slowly kick free users off game and A$ Whores.

[Unhealer]

This game needs to start moving towards getting rid of freebies altogether. There are too many online, they’re annoying, they lag the server, they’re useless for the most part.

What I would suggest is setting up some kind of time limit in the game that kicks them out after an hour for at least a day. I’ve had several experiences where I would log in once, get harassed by a freebie and then 7 hours later log in again only to have to same person bugging me.

Get rid of gifting; I’ve been saying this for a while. A large fraction of the females and shemales are constantly asking for gifts, I don’t know how many are buying subscriptions off gifts but I do see a handful of freebies at the end of the list asking for gifts EVERY time I log in.

Email verification on accounts, I can’t believe Achat doesn’t have this yet. Email verification would make it more difficult for people to create new accounts constantly to harass people.

Take away all free poses, I saw how shemales started without any, why not just do that to males and females too? With a time limit and stuff all they will get to do is try out the game, if they cant find a premium to show them the poses they probably wont like the game anyways

Its a very long time since I last played with a freebie and that's mostly because they're generally bad in a room, cold invite and that all of them feels kinda the same because they look alike. I can't really shake the feeling that they're leeching from me without contributing to AChat themselves either.

I guess one way of dealing with all freebies online could be to kick them if they idle online for too long.

I don't mind freebies,… but I think there needs to be a much wider separation of access to features between the two. A stronger incentive to make them pay would be enticing.

I completely disagree with EVERYTHING you said Unhealer….If they are harassing you that bad, use the ignore button. And there are several reasons why there are so many free users, one of which being that the game is INTERNATIONAL. People in China, Russia, Iraq, Iran, Australia (and yes I've played with people from all of those countries) have a harder time paying for memberships because they do not have access to credit cards the way we do in the United States. They are force to become members using PayPal, and in some countries it takes up to 90 days to process the purchase. I have also noticed that the majority of females begging for A$ are international users. So by your logic, let's make the game restricted the the U.S. only.

Hi all

It's just my opinion but don't forget that a free member could become a premium one , after having a good time with a premium member or another free member !

Totally agree with you Kalina, some of my best partners were free users when I met them

[Adera]

Well I don't want them to restrict things much more for free users… its just that far more of the free users seem to completely miss peoples profiles and they throw out cold invites like crazy which I don't care much for. I've met a few free users who have been good and like to chat a lot which is important to me… too bad they are rare.

The thing about credit cards is just sad. I chatted with a girl who couldn't get a card because she was a student… only those with a work could apparently get credit cards in her country even though she had money to spare. Here in Sweden I get a credit card for free from my bank because I'm a student… quite different.

Restricting the game too much for free users would be the end of the game all together. I was a free user once as well and remember some nice premium girls that showed me the ropes. That is what actually made me decide to purchase a membership.
I don't mind free users as well and I don't see any difference with their qualities with premium users. A majority or premium girls are just as empty in the head as most free users, the reason why I screen who I room with extensively before rooming. No difference between them at all. There are great players among, not a large number, but enough to not deny them catergorically.
I think they should actually create more opportunities for free users. Like for instance a robot shemale. Very strange that hasn't been done that (or did I miss it?). Limited access is logical, but the threshold shouldn't be so high, noone will give it a chance..

Free users need to be able to experience the game in full bloom sometimes, it helps them decide if they want to subscribe or not. Some take advantage of it, some are just new people who want to experiment, I was a free member for the longest time because I was caught in the Brisbane flood situation and couldn't use my credit card. I met so many kind people who made me feel better about the situation even though I was a freebie.

[alstott]

well i think freebies are important for the game…i guess almost every prem was a freebie before so…don't limit their options more as it already exists…better do something as Bear said give them a stronger incentive to become a prem member…maybe something like…you'll get a free pose or i don't know some kinda clothes when you buy at least a 1 month subscription…or something like this.

Technically right now *I* am a free user, even if I'm not really using the program all that much.

That said the a-hole free users are quite good at making a-holes of themselves. So the desire to do “something” about them is entirely understandable.

The problem comes from a simple fact that was in existence LONG before the internet, whenever you have people having fun there will always be those selfish jackasses who will come along, ready to spoil it because they don't think about the consequences of their actions.

It can be at a party where alcohol is available and where everyone else is just getting buzzed and having fun they get hammered and end up puking on someone.

It can be on an online game where someone “camps” at a spawn point so they can rack up kills on those reentering the game after being killed.

They are the ones that ruin a good time for everyone else, and that's the problem with doing “something” about them, ruining everyone's good time.

I think we should just put game limiters in for FREE users.  A counter that locks them out of the game for a day after 2 or 3 ignores or 10 invite declines. It would definitely improve the conduct of the FREE users.

[Bear]

lol.. I would emphasis the invite declines…instead… that is the rudest of distractions just to assume.

[Steelsilk]

Also I do play a lot with the free users. I have converted 2 free users into VIPs because the game is still pretty new and people that have money are still very skeptical about whether or not they should invest.  I think phasing out the free users is still a bit early but should be on the 5 year plan somewhere once the game is better recognized.

you know it wouldn't be a bad thing to remove the FREE users ability to invite at all.  The invite button really should be for paying members. I mean just ask nicely right
