also i know we don't want to wreck the economy here but there's isn't really a way to "earn" money, yeah? It's all like contests and raffles and playing "sell the item". Like there's no way to grind for money at this point. When I joined i would actually binge the the games to get money but like it's not even worth it at this point, it's like pennies to get 150 pd a few times an hour or gamble black jack style for like 100-200pd if you win. Don't want to break the economy but also it sucks as a new player to not really be able to earn money like you can in dv.

don't you love it when you write something but the page refreshes?

I am not going to add much here; I am mostly lurking... BUT it's so I can write things down 📝
maybe send a message or two...

Or, even if the whole dv ad theater things doesn't work lots of site will have a page where you can just click the "watch an ad and earn 3cr" button or something like that, maybe with a limit per day. But that would be a free way to support the site and for people to be able to consistently earn something.

The website is a bit stuck in 2016 but what can we really do about that, ya know
We should really try to hit on that nostalgia factor tbh, like idk why but today i went down a rabbit hole of all the old games i used to play like fantage and barbiegirl.com, and theyve all since been deleted but people are making reboots of the game and they are very popular because of the nostalgic feel. 
i miss u fantage
literally was just thinking of this the other day i need a reboot i'd spend so much money for the membership LOL gone too soon smh

i really think if people wanted to make money on here they could
i agree! maybe its because ive always been rich here but i feel like earning cr is rlly easy
piggybacking off of this to say that this is part of the stagnation of the vp economy

those of us who have been here for a while, even if you didn't invest any irl money into credit set weeks, have amassed wardrobes of rarer sets that can be sold for lots of cr

right now there isn't really a cr 'sink' so to speak, except for the weekly rare raffles (AMAZING IDEA BTW). so having a feature that people who do have a lot of cr could invest into would be cool. i can definitely imagine a scenario where a 'pet' feature has cr-only options that aren't giving too much of an advantage

i do think making low ig items available again is kind of a requirement at this point? but imo a good start is to purge accounts that haven't logged in in ~10 years and making the items that were in those account available in some sort of 'donation shop' or something similar

i do think if old + low ig sets/items were rereleased, they would have to be very $$$ in cr. hell, you could make them purchasable with ONLY irl money as a way to fundraise

actually speaking of fundraising, i think the site that vp is most comparable to is actually a site called goatlings

despite being run even poorly than vp used to be (can you imagine? i won't even get into it but if you wanna see the trainwreck check out this post but also just the blog in general lol the site is a mess) goatlings pulls in a LOT of money each month. partially because a lot of the site features require loot boxes/gambling but again... not getting into that bs for now..........

part of this is because they have a fundraising goal each month for the funds required for maintaining the servers, paying people (well... not really but anyways), etc. and there is a reward for contributing X amount to the fundraiser each month

using this system, despite having a smaller userbase than most petsim sites, they ALWAYS meet their fundraising goal and often go beyond it.

i think a system like this with a set that is rewarded for contributing would go a long way to make sure that the en server remains up and running!
