This is an important update for Grandfathered Creators.
In the announcement below we stated that starting July 1, 2023, all Earn Money Creators, including Grandfathered Creators, will be required to have either Platinum or Diamond VIP in order to be in the Earn Money Program and receive cash payouts.
(This requirement does not affect Grandfathered Creators who are subscribed to legacy VIP (from before Tiered VIP launched).
We realize this is a huge change for many Grandfathered Creators and have been closely following feedback regarding this new policy.
Based on your valuable input, we have come up with a solution that should make it easier for affected Creators to transition.
Details are as follows:
LINKED ACCOUNTS FOR GRANDFATHERED CREATORS
Starting July 1, 2023, Creators will be able to link three Grandfathered Creator accounts together, with only one VIP subscription.
Creators will choose one Grandfathered account for their VIP subscription, and two additional Grandfathered accounts that will not need VIP.
If a Creator already pays for Platinum or Diamond VIP on a non-Grandfathered account, they can apply it to two of their Grandfathered accounts.
All three linked accounts will be eligible for the Earn Money Program and payouts.
Once the accounts are linked, new earnings from these accounts will be combined into one MASA balance. Earnings from before the accounts are linked will not be combined.
Grandfathered accounts that are grouped with a VIP account will not need to apply for the Earn Money Program as long as they have already been approved to participate in the Earn Money Program prior.
Starting August 2023, earnings from the linked accounts can be set up to funnel into the VIP account.
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO LINK GRANDFATHERED ACCOUNTS
Here’s how to link a Platinum or Diamond VIP Grandfathered account with two additional accounts.
Make sure one of your Creator accounts has Platinum or Diamond VIP
Submit a help ticket to the Earn Money Program, requesting linked accounts. List an account that has VIP, and two Grandfathered accounts that do not have VIP.
If any of the linked accounts is not in the Earn Money Program, those account(s) will need to join to earn money and request a payout. All accounts will be able to apply to the Earn Money Program without a VIP subscription. However, you will not be able to earn money or request a payout until the account has a qualified VIP subscription or is linked to a Grandfathered account with a qualified VIP subscription.
Once the team receives your ticket (and your Earn Money application(s) if applicable), they will:
Check to make sure the accounts are owned by you
Confirm your Earn Money Program application has been accepted.
As soon as your accounts are approved, the team will link them together, so all three can be in the Earn Money Program with only one VIP subscription
ADDITIONAL BENEFIT - JULY ONLY
Between July 1 and July 30, Earn Money accounts with less than $50 can convert their balances into Credits. To receive Credits, send a help ticket to the Earn Money team.
Attention Creators - Starting July 1 Earn Money Payouts will require VIP
This is an important notice for Creators who are not signed up for VIP but still receive cash payouts in the Earn Money Program.
Starting July 1, 2023, all Earn Money Creators will be required to have either Platinum or Diamond VIP in order to receive cash payouts.
This does not include legacy Creators who signed up for VIP before the Tiered VIP system launched. They already have the equivalent of Platinum VIP and do not need to take any action.
CLARIFICATION:
Added 5/18/23: By "legacy Creators" we mean Grandfathered Creators. Grandfathered Creators without VIP will still be able to create, submit to their shop and earn Credits.
When this new requirement is introduced, Grandfathered Creators without VIP will still be able to create, submit to their shop and earn Credits.
Added 5/23/23 - You will not be able to earn cash or receive payouts unless you purchase Platinum or Diamond VIP. Once you join VIP you can earn cash and receive payouts. You will not lose existing cash balances. They will simply not be available without VIP.
The Platinum and Diamond VIP memberships offer exclusive benefits that will help Creators make the most of their IMVU experience, including free live chat rooms, live voice broadcasting, and catalog discounts. See our store https://www.imvu.com/next/store/ for more details.
We realize VIP is new to many of you, and to that end, we have provided several weeks of notice so that you can review the Platinum and Diamond VIP offerings and decide which is right for you. See our store https://www.imvu.com/next/store/ for more details.
Thank you!

For crying out loud, 530+ posts on this abysmal Fischer-Price message system that I won't dignify by calling it a "forum."
Can't a mod create a new thread where we can continue to air our (mostly ignored) grievances about this important subject without having (Every. Single. Time.) to click 20+ times to finally get to the new messages? Maybe creating a new thread going forward, every time the number of messages become greater than 150-200.
Too much to ask?

Correct it is a personal choice. Since it includes wallets of people, they have the freedom to choose to stick or leave. So be it.

Sorry but you are suggesting an illegal action. You signed fr this, if you wish to criminalize yourself, feel free to. But suggesting this here feels like pure negativity and need for revenge on something you actually signed for. That is not the way. I advise you to abide by rules, regulations and legality of your actions. It will keep you a lot healthier and a lot happier abiding by that which you signed up for. If you don't like it here, have only commercial interests, and decide to go, than just go, and when you think you can break your meshes and get away with it,...seriously...then I urge you to calm down and rethink your strategy and intend.

That's not going to work, so forget it. IMVU has all of your products backed up on their servers. As soon as they get one complaint filed, they'll not only ban your account for life, they'll revert all of your products with their archived forms and then go on to take 100% of the profits from your hard work. You'd have to set everything to display only mode, and hide the meshes, since those can still be derived from in that mode.

@Incorruptus If your going to be out of pocket then how is it going to benefit a developer, if what they are paying to dev is more than the outgoings, depending on where you live , what your tax will be. 30 percent straight away thats is nearly half you profit gone straight away. One shoe fit doesnt fit all.

I always already had a VIP arrangement. Because I like it's extra features. And I will stand my ground as usual, proceeding as usual, and continuing my stay. It will take a whole lot more, to say goodbye to my investments, over the change, that equalizes us with any other creator here. And I am very happy that some of our honorable rights we keep. So business...adapt...but business as usual... And for all else sakes...I love this network and I love people, specially those close to me. I love creating and testing my meshes on IMVU, while other can choose to enjoy them. For me personally, this would be the last reason right now...to leave it all behind. I honor differences in opinions. So be it.

If imvu wants to give products away then get developers to make demo items to promote their shops like second life does. They then can walk about with our logo on it advertising our shops, and if they want to get rid of the logo they have to then purchase the ones that dont have.

@Incorruptus Have to disagree, from ever change they have done money has dropped out of every devs pocket, a good company learns by it mistakes, it doesnt try and make up for the mistakes by stealing from the mouth that feeds them.

@Vorvolaka the most reliable option would be to have a vip for devs only, if imvu want a secure ready income that they know they can rely on then that would be the safest. But then they would need to drop the dev fees, it has to be fair for both sides. But imvu are not fair so what ever we put forward it will always be me me me me on their side.
