yeah but maybe check it more frequently before telling people its not covered, cause the designers have been working their butts off with mcm lol
i think its more an issue with etjen kinda "ignoring" the site when its doing well. really hoping thats not the case though, wish he would give us an update

i'm sorry!! i didn't mean for it to come across like that :-( in the convo he didddd say he doesn't wanna be involved directly but it's possible that has changed too. or mby not. i guess i'm just used to things going downhill all the time sigh. i apologize to everyone pls disregard what i said

It’s just that you’ve been spreading the same “etjen pays from his own pocket” narrative for quite some time while that is simply not true. Unless you have actually talked to him recently + have been checking stats a lot please don’t spread misinformation:/

i know better now! i won't let this happen again. i guess i wish there was more "proof" on it like maybe the admins could include a bit on it for the update thread (smthing like "we made x amount of money this month/met the goal for x month" ) orrr like. anything to implicate it at all aside from one number on a page not everyone knows exists in the first place

they should let people earn credits from playing games ngl

We’ve been trying to get credits out of our system, this would be bringing more currency and messing with vp economics

I really think to fix the cr economics we need to get the cr out of the hands with people who have too much which the auction is doing a great job for, but some of it should go to new players. Or returning players

I agree that having a way of earning cr other than spending real money or the wheel would help players stay since cr has become the main currency and all they get access to is pd. Even if the amount of cr is capped to like 10 cr a day

that would not be making them useful, everyone will just change pd to cr and cause inflation etc etc

im not very active but as a "new ish player" (someone who only recently started playing even tho my account was made some years ago i never quite played untill some months ago)

even tho i have always loved dress up games i had never heard of this game untill 2022, i saw it in another site, and since it was similar i decided to join however the main thing that drove me away from this site was how non intuitive it is (especially the ui but since the site is old is understandable however it still was kinda weird to navigate through) all the acronyms were kinda confusing and i didint even knew where to find what they meant at first, even the clothing uploader was kinda difficult to understand and i think i got it wrong either way jaja, and the way everyone seems to already know eachother can make new players feel like outsiders, maybe if there was a way to make new players feel more welcomed but honestly i dont have many ideas of how this could be done

theres a lot of sets in game however only an small handful are purchasable in the shop (which is understandable theres not many designers and they gotta focus on other things like mcm sets) and finding them is not very intuitive, unless u go into other ppl wds and check all their stuff u will most likely only see the mcm, shop updates, wheel item, and the hof and wof sets as a newbie, and since these are weekly/monthly its not very easy to get many clothes to dress up with

and then theres getting the currency to buy the sets, getting cr is not very easy if you dont wanna sell the little amount of sets you own and you dont have irl money to buy cr and games dont give much pd unless u spend hours and hours playing, even tho there is other ways to get small amounts of cr and pd you cant really grind for them like in other games in which you can watch ads or do surveys to get currency and that also supports the game finantially.

sorry if somethings arent clear my english is not very good but i just wanted to share how is a bit of the newbie experience and i dont mean this in a super negative way but just what i think as someone who recently started playing very casually and had 0 prior experience in this site.

and if anything i say is wrong please feel free to correct me

maybe make it like 1 cr = 1000 pd just like how people trade it and not make the rate change whatsoever? it makes credits more accessible

well im not very well versed in economics aaa 😞

Make it 1cr = 10000pd and it'll still cause cr inflation
You can't stop people from making a lot of alts to farm cr

this is what made me leave the site when i first found it as well, the shop is great but its very small and lacks variety,, i think ideally there should be enough stuff there, permanently available, to make fun outfits in a wide range of styles by only paying pd, you shouldnt have to grind for months to be able to play dress up when thats what the whole site is centered around

I understand inflation but, wouldn't it be better to make sure there are relevant things to spend CR or raise prices for available CR items on than for it to be sort of inaccessible?
