my two cents

Overall we really need an update of mechanics, for old and new players
-Levelling up needs rewards/bonuses to drive game play-the popstar part needs to become relevant again
-the games could use visual facelifts even if it's just making the colours pastel or something 
-wardrobes and shops could be much easier to sift through with updated filters, seeing more items per page and or a infinite scroll function

-if we reallllly need to lose more cr, Popular old sets can start being raffled as well, or even recolours of past or present MCM sets. Limited sets can be put in the shop as well for larger amounts, in the same vein as the items that cost promotional points being equivalent to 300cr
What are the most wished for items? make those available for a larger amount of cr, for a limited time
-make a new players fund that old players with too much cr can donate to idk

-Incentives for long time players to spend cr 

-daily raffle 

-to add more options to the shops, there should be more basic items with multiple colours of each of those basics, then move outward towards fancier items with recolours and then move towards CR items/limited items and so on and so forth 

ideally, if we had things like Pets or mini-rooms, the items, accessories and decoration for mechanics like that would cost CR. 

The real issue as far as CR goes, is where to spend it and wanting to spend it on certain things, there needs to be demand and drive.

agree but it seems unlikely

ive been saying for like a year we should just make new copies of old items and sell them like idk why its so controversial if thats what it takes to make vp playable and enjoyable again who cares!! the whole point of the game is dressing up so lets give people the items they want to do that.. it just seems so stupid to have hundreds of items probably 50% of all items in game be very hard to find and very very low in game 

-make a new players fund that old players with too much cr can donate to idk

-Incentives for long time players to spend cr 

its kind of the point of the auctions


-daily raffle 

-to add more options to the shops, there should be more basic items with multiple colours of each of those basics, then move outward towards fancier items with recolours and then move towards CR items/limited items and so on and so forth 

requires people to design but yes im adding 6 of my sets into the shop for pd and they should be in there in the next few days

i think we need more events too wink wink  i think the weekly friday comps are a very very good step in the right direction but with the lack of events in the last 2 years it def didnt help new players joining as thats the main place to get new items/cr when ur a new joining player

We've been cooking, behind the scenes :'( the coming weeks and months should be better on that front and hopefully newer players can and will benefit

I will always be a bit skeptical about these ideas, how can you really know it's a new player and not an alt/bot? 
And ngl, if we had level up rewards I'll be the first one to make a bot army to farm it lol 


<<-Incentives for long time players to spend cr

Yeah there should be much much more ways to spend a lot of cr, just flood vp with auctions and raffles and limited items and whatever, until rich ppl really run out of cr.
With current auctions you have only ~10 items a week to spend some cr (+24 sets every month ofc), next we have raffles very soon, can't wait to see how it'll go, but it kinda feels like it's not enough


I'm not a game economics guy ofc, I'm just an IT guy

I'm like 99% sure staff can check for alt abuse
and you can farm it but that shouldn't stop it from being there LOL, the game still needs to game 

Yeah the cr sink is not draining properly, sooo, there needs to be diverse options for spending cr if it's that big of a concern. it's not my jurisdiction either though so, i can only throw some ideas out there

i think we could also consider revamping the auctions to where we have a lot of auctions at once (perhaps even all the items we have for auction) and have no time limit on them and just sell them once there has been no new bids for 1 or 2 days

would help with getting the higher wanted items that they have into the game quicker + also get more cr out of the game because instead of a who can bid faster its who can spend more

ok ill try my best


the reason everskies and gosupermodel are currently thriving so well is because they are releasing new sets/items very frequently therefore giving people more chances to earn sets to sell or giving people new things to buy. one of the biggest lacks in vp right now is the frequent release of sets that people can sell or sets people are wanting to buy therefore giving people nothing to look for and not giving people something to sell to keep the economy flowing because of which people are more hoarding items because there isnt anything they want to buy so they have no reason to sell their items and then people are just bumping their buying forums because people arent selling anything they are looking for

aswell everskies and gsm still "newish" so the rare items are a couple years old and majority of the people who own them are still active players where as on vp a lot of items which are very low in game counts anyways are owned by people who havent logged in for years or people who are inactive and have no desire to sell their items therefore creating a slump in players who may be older or may even be newer because the items on their wishlist that they have been looking for for years are very hard to find almost impossible to find, giving them no reason to sell their items or buy credits because they arent able to buy the things they would want to buy

es/gsm doing well because
-constant new items
-desirable items are actually on active accounts or being sold

vp struggles
-less sets (less frequency)
-low ig items are near impossible to get
-no incentive to sell rares


does that sumarize? are any of your points missing?
