  • IMVU

9/5/21

Imvu is actually a virtual reality game and still best by far compared to others. Use of avatars is biggest attraction, along with poses and access pass. The game can become addictive. What wasn't good is shortly after imvu put ads all over the internet saying it's a dress-up-game for adults, people have mistaked it for actual dating or love connection place. Imvu tried to divert such inappropriate misuse to places like zoosk.com and meetme.com.
Dark side of imvu is any who join can end up with a bad staff worker. Depending on the time during day or night when account is created. It is these bad workers that have caused a number of injustices upon clients. So many complaints about imvu is soley due to these who have over stepped their positions.
Imvu has unsuccessfully tried to dispel any notion that workers go among the community as a member. Evidence that proves some do go among the community is with fake accounts, showing real photos of people, they have stolen from other sites. Other give away of worker trying to pass off as another member is the use of 6 digit numbers after the avatar name. More evidence, is if you see a member appear to be on all the time. Including if they drop out of chat unexpectedly (for no apparent reason); including go on brb for a long time. It is cause they are hiding from getting caught, wrongly mingling with members, while on the job. Another thing to watch is those who can afford dressing up everyday on feed, as if they have endless amounts of credits. Not even professional developers will splurg out of control on a daily basis like that.
If you wonder whether a worker ever goes on your account, you'll know they have when you experience delays of any kind when logging into website or trying to get onto chat. There are still other traces left behind of staff worker or some one who's gotten on your account. While in chat mode, any extra saved outfit of your default one is proof some body has been on your chat. While still in chat mode if you see within friends, under recent chats, of others you never even met, is another dead give away.
Bad workers will make it difficult to ever get a deleted acount back. They won't put their name down when claiming you didn't pass age verification. Even when you know you did. It's really not safe or confidental for imvu to ask for any proof of personal ID just to prove your of legal adult age. Wrongly accepting use of credit cards to prove your mature age, when kids can use them. Getting access pass should be put on a specially made prepaid card made for such. Which would require proof of being adult upon purchase. I would discourage anyone from doing age verification just to get access pass, as there's no telling what kind of person your dealing with. No matter what work position a person is in, doesn't necessarily mean they can be trusted from hacking, stalking and dishonesty. They can be everything from abusers, serial killers and human trafficking supporter. This includes all those you meet on imvu. My advise is to be imvu only. No matter how convincing some one might be don't believe a word. Believe it or not some bad workers will go among the community as a member to break specials & married people up. They'll even use other extra avs to come at back you. Dishonest means of tricking you into thinking they're some body else.
Bad workers will even empty your bank account of everything, if you use any form of credit. Stay safe by either using prepaid cards or send money order for in-game purchases. Don't buy unreliable family dollar prepaid cards, as they won't work on imvu.
Anymore you can't trust new members to be such, as those out to steal your account will make extra accounts to get on your friendslist to do such. Workers who don't like you will try to find some means to make you to lose your account. Including clicking on links that will supposedly give you many free credits. False accusations of feed screenshot being a violation. Best thing to do is follow those you like to keep in touch and place no one on your friends list. Open your chat screen to anyone, when you want to see them. If your chat lags badly or freezes, instantly shut down your computer, laptop or cellphone to prevent stealing of your account. Those remain unusually quiet for a long time (never saying a word) can't be trusted during chat mode.
What doesn't help is the hired creators who keep changing apps on everything, just to keep their payroll going. Rather than really coming up with things everyone would like. Imvu should hire outside help to do what their own creators fail. One of the worse changes the creators did is connect cellular app to the website. Starting with changing Stream to Feed. Imvu creators recent unfavorable changes is desktop and create app. Desktop app that suppose to possibly replace classic client don't work. The new create mode is only easy for programers.
Contests on imvu are often misleading, by putting out rules that imvu don't adhere to themself. Entries that you know should of won don't. Instead, the lesser ones at the bottom are always chosen to win. Don't enter any contest awards VIP or start buying into it. Cause once duration use of it is up, you'll lose your only available public room. Don't become a developer under purchase of VIP, as it's another waste, you'll regret later. Once again, if you don't keep purchasing VIP you'll lose your developer privileges and all you put into shop to be sold, will be removed.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use any credit cards when purchasing in-game credits or upgrades. General Dollar prepaid cards won't work. Try to use debit card. You can send check or money order through mail. Include a note saying what you want.

I was given a used satellite laptop of which the hard drive was starting to not work. Didn't know if an install disc ever came with it, which was missing. The worst part is this computer was fixed in a way to only do a certain Windows. I couldn't change it to another OS. Or upgrade it to Windows 10. Videos available on the web to do so are unreliable. Right now it won't access the internet dsl or wifi.

I would not recommend Blink now to anyone. Once I discover when they first started out, using it was free and without any hassle of having to pay any fees to save your images or videos to a Cloud Plan. Blink doesn't work well at all if you're using WiFi. They got greedy in finding a way for users to keep paying into it.

Jade Dynasty was a free-to-play MMORPG game created by Perfect World. After finding & playing this game, I searched around to see if others that looked to be like it were any better. They were not. This game was not only overall beautiful but would dazzle you with it's special effects in the use of weapons & power abilities. This was the first online game I really got into and addictive at that. It appeared that women really preferred this game over others. My only disappointment came when the creators removed characters ascension to the heavenly realm and decided to make everyone descend back to the worldly realm.
I didn't like when Jade Dynasty was changed to a cellular app game, where you could only do PvP. I had recently discovered Jade Dynasty Reborn. I never knew there was even a movie titled Jade Dynasty.

Cryptic Studios developed Star Trek Online on July 28,2008. In it you get to be a captain of your own starship. At first there was only the Federation and Klingon that you could play as. Later came the Romulans and even more would follow. I remember really looking forward to playing it, as there was nothing like it before. Most previous star trek games were limited in what you can and can't do. They didn't even give you the feel of being a part of the star trek realm. About when Perfect World Co., Ltd took over the game is when free-to-play came to be available. Only problem to this game are minor glitches that prevent you from progressing any further into completing missions. Something you don't come across often. Star Trek Online's customer service is good. They will even restore deleted characters, depending on when it was done. Star Trek Online offers more to it's free-to-play than Star Wars The Old Republic. Including faster loading time, along with graphics that has less stress on RAM requirement. I believe there are still star trek fans out there who still don't even know this game exists.

It must of happen after the Dominion was brought into the game that it took on a much darker and less appealing approach to graphics presentation. DS9 used to be nicely lit up and now looks as if a power outage has dimmed the entire station. Those Que missions that were once fun to do have become outrageous in wrongly penalizing players for supposedly AFK when those ground missions are hard to find your way around. The fault is terrible misuse in blending colors to where you can't make out which way to go. Some of the repeated missions they made harder. Overly use of terran empire threat and the true way. They never fixed the glitch of the first Discovery mission. Most Discovery missions are less fun, hard and take too long to get through. They seem to make use of the least favorite star trek characters, which are basically eyesores. Ease of playability has become choppy and not so fluid.

The way the vastness of space is laid out in good graphic quality display struck an interest enough to play it. Thinking it may be like other space games that are never ending like Eve Online. Instead it's more like limited repetitive duration of World Warfare. Only World Warfare battles go progressively smoother. Around the time I started playing it, someone said on chat, that Starborne has been in Beta mode for a long time. Even as the game starts you out on some learning tutorial of the basics, you're left on your own in creating buildings & space ships, under near 3 day protection. You are forewarned that it's a team game and solo players will have a difficult time competing for victory. Not so good thing about this game is it keeps you busy doing assortment of things repeatedly as if taking care of a virtual pet. Engaging in space battles against other rivaling sectors or expanding neighbor's bases don't happen until around the last part of the game. What's disappointing is when you find that leading players are the one who actually gets to do the most in engaging space battles and receive honor medals only cause they invest money into the game and not cause of any experience. There are some hidden things in the game that you simply don't learn on your own. Troop Carrier is rarely to never used, probably cause of the outrageous cost to build one. NPC Marauder bases can't be captured except maybe totally destroyed. Too much sophistication was put in attacking rivaling bases with a fleet of ships, enough to discourage as unfair. Ending up looking like all you put out didn't or barely made a scratch. Ineffective things about the game is you can not intercept incoming fleet attacks and stargate doesn't do instant jumps but rather stalls. The map of different sectors have become worse. Length of game play can be any where from a week to more. You have to be someone who'd have lots of patience to like playing this game. Which makes it look like a snails pace game. Interesting but not enjoyably fun to play. I would not recommend this game to anyone right now.

Additionally, even if you join some group, alliance or guild there's always a chance a good number of players (including leader) will abandon game for another server. It's not really fair play to end up this way. Creators of starborne should have npc's replace missing players, since they don't lock players in game until it's over.

What's disappointing about this game is it is a ram hog when it comes to graphics quality. Low graphics display can easily make a player not all that interested. Movement during play is smooth unless you experience lag. The repair installation button doesn't work. With the use of bitraider for streaming updates, it can be at fault for not being able to get into the game, as it crashes every time you press play. Staff rarely to never helps in the forums to fix current game problems. Players suggestions for such are either outdated or simply don't work. Customer relations are bad. They won't even restore a deleted character. You really don't know what you're buying into their prepaid cards. Cartel coins or subscription? Free-to-play gets less of everything. Only thing this game has got going in it's favor is the story driven parts. Whether you are Jedi or Sith there's no consequences for the choices you make, as your success is assured regardless.
