this is something thats coming. but i dont want to mislead anyone, so i am being cautious with what i share/say because i am just me i do NOT speak for the whole team. i do how ever speak for the 40+ of you guys who are active. its more important right now to make sure you guys are heard and represented in your ideas and changes.

but yes, the coding of a new currency is taking as long as i expected.
before it goes live we will have many more answers for you.
its got to be real first!

(side note: can you even image how many times PD+popdollar appears on this site??hundreds!! easy!!)

we will wait regardless!!
so are you guys seeing prototypes (that you havent shared) that you are excited for?
and are the concerns and suggestions similar across servers?

i didn't think of the pd showing up often tbh bgfhjdks

Other servers have a lot more privacy and security concerns, so that will be the priority.

However there are a lot of similar concerns including but not limited to mini games, customization, updated forms and blogs. Basically more playability/ things to do.

But of course top priority is mobile UI friendliness whether that comes in small bursts or a large update is unclear

oooooh, what kind of security concerns!? that's actually something i don't think i've seen anyone here mention?? (or i missed it)

Also wondering: Has any conversation started about adding anything like credits to levelling up?
ie. popstar level=100cr or something
I imagine adding currency will add some more utility to the levels until more storyline and prizes can be added there (or well that's my thought process i guess)

Oh current issue is not that serious, it's "smth you should be able to do but can't" instead of the opposite (like it was before the last update, I admit I messed up a little and made it too restrictive haha)

Leveling up for credits doesn't feel necessary (doesn't work as a credit sink too), and we ~kinda have it already with 'donation' system
I have some thoughts about storyline& the whole game part of vp, didn't share them with the team yet bc I want to organize it first

ooooh okay haha, i thought it was some vulnerability thing that we haven't experienced here

i also don't think it would work as a credit sink for the rest of us, but i think it would benefit new players to gain some when they level...it could benefit old players too i suppose, since not everyone necessarily buys cr or hustles in the mp

yes no rush! i'm more thinking of the inbetween, rather than the fiinished product i guess

are any thoughts/plans for level rewards btw, if the levels will stay as they are it would be so cool to have themed set rewards for some of them i think

i had this idea for the wd overhaul

would it be possible to ‘bookmark’ items while building an outfit? for example, sometimes im hesitating if i want to wear hair A or B. if i wanna see how both of them look when the outfit progresses i have to look them up constantly and keep changing the filters. if i could bookmark em i could go to my bookmarks and quickly select them there
would this be possible?

That has definitely popped up! The idea for more country based outfits has also been brought up too

We haven't thought about set rewards, because of lack of sets. Also can I run an idea by you that the core team has discussed

We've been looking at pinning items. And just in general more ease of using the wd.... BUT I do love I ke there your head is at with that idea!

What can u get with tokens again?

If they‘re connected with Sets.. like what can we imagine from the quality? like are the token sets comparable to 24€ mcm sets or sum?

and how do you earn them (besides i assume spending real money) and are they going to be as hard to get as promotion points?

From my understanding it's just going to mainly replace the current way MCM work, so you'd be able to buy just tier 24 with x amount of tokens, instead of having to buy the ones before it as well, but don't quote me on it.

yes thats kind of exactly it. it will allow you to "choose" which mcm sets you get/miss.

nono nothing major, but still very important things

(like how blocking a player works, or showing hidden users while not signed in bc of forums)

we're definitly looking at more ways to add SMALL aounts of cr into the game for new players. this will also reduce the value of cr so 25+ig shouldnt be 13k other than... maybe like.. auctions...

not my random guess being correct lol

so with tokens u can buy any set from mcm.. interesting

is the ratio going to be 24€ = 2400 tokens (that seems a lot)

all of this is sooo interesting
