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!

You may calculate in that our true core of workers sits with grandfathers still. They are robust, know IMVU well and are invested here. We are easy targets, so to say.
To migrate them all you will have to include a running up period, of about 3 - 5 years. Depending on our actual economies, right now it can be safer set to 4 - 8 years.
What is and will IMVU be doing to gain income from new members? By upping the prices, you can let go of that wish,...so how are you? Should we all up our prices...and make the economy go even slower? How do you think our little micro companies here, will deal with price ups...of memberships? When it can't come from our pockets...it must come from our internal economic strengths and flexibility, well...we all have seen now...how flexible baby Barbie dolls are...when it comes to being confronted with price ups.
This will suppress our already so manipulated form of economy we are running in here. It will lower production capabilities, some will compensate things with price ups while others lower them to lure in more consumers...it will do nothing, zero zip anything, to strengthen the whole. I can tell you this might be a needed move. Might as well upped the prices of making new items...so we could have passed by on this, and Barbie would have needed to pay...
When we are a team, with our main member IMVU Inc, keeping the rest of this team in the dark,...then how do you expect us to also feel like a team, while nothing is shared, and our futures look like this...?

I see the whole V-Coin program as well as phone features, cut away from the core that financed it. failing to stand on it's own?
I see a classic app disappear in future, while a mere 25% of us are able to migrate there and grow strong new catalogs, with what? They are already kind of depleted, and as we heard people say sure they will love to create, but are already scratching their ears,...since living on minimum incomes. How many hops of price ups, do you think we can take...?
So then we stand with Desktop, and a Phone app in time,...without our full main core of hard workers and people enjoying IMVU for what we build it for. How do you calculate mis steps on developments by then? You go around with your hat, and make a round through Barbieland...while none of them interested to pay for anything, but a new 3D haircut, which their daddy needs to pay. From moderating in one of our rooms,... And I guess you think I am making a joke right now, well,...this is practise...it is facts we live with...but is this truly understood, where do calculations go wrong , where did they fail, and because of what is this all happening?

Your new markets, 20 USD,...in most of these market areas they occupy and our new customers are steeld at, dear people, 20 USD can be their monthly income all together...so how do you expect to win more paying consumers...is the most crucial question asked here? How are you...I will stop adding more posts to this. But answer us please. It is all sane and legitimate questions, so do not start wiping them off the table again, play it fairly. Thank you.

I still remember it said,... South Korea the new Horizon, - all focus on a welcomed new market -, if markets added, do not return the return on investment you thought it would be, than why keep heading towards it? You know your recent core will be the strongest as we shown you all the way...with these moves the only next instrument left is to up membership prices, which distances us even further from gaining new members that will take a membership with us...it's all...so unwise - while so many positive and possible solutions are able to activate, you choose to take a quick turn...and calculate a certain projecten amount of income extra, for what? Completing the bridges that fail? Why?

Correct. It fits the ways and walks, of a totalitarian regime. Where people are left in the dark, and can only pay, and when they can't they loose them, unless you are a Barbie baby doll and don't pay for anything...but pay with your body...

Most of us are living in nations now, full into war economies. They will not really be able to invest in better quicker pc's to run our new app. So what are the plans for our features in development, and how fast would you need us to migrate there? What are we paying extra for now, and why? Why pull these funds from your most loyal core of consumers, is it because we are always here, is it because we don't back down easily?
And how flexible do you think we are, in these times of needs. Sure we want to keep our network, but is it still our network? Ask yourselves please, with a tsunami of baby Barbie dolls running around our Feed, or was it feet? How are you going to manage them, into paying for their features...while we pay for it,...they make their photo's in our rooms...the clothing on their avi bodies, are gifted by us... So how wrong do you think your calculations are, how far of the prognoses are we...?
By keeping us blind, while showing dangerous moves like this, it becomes time for clarity, transparency and an open form of debate, and all heads around the table. Why do you keep us from this table? You clearly need us...so why push us away with negativity like this?

Why do we keep progressing towards customer groups, building our bridges to them, while they do not pay enough to keep us going. Sounds...unwise.
Why progress us towards tools, a minute maybe 10% of us can already use, naming it Studio. Which is a great tool, but well...we also need grand machines for it to run the way so we can use it. And sure we're saving up for it, at least I do, and I hear some more do and a lot won't. So is this all done, to help us keep our classic feature up and going, untill we all migrated?
What is it, behind this move, we ought to know, in order to help you progress where you want to. So better spill the beans...since knowing why can make us better, stronger, more in line with future needs. While right now, kept away from the cooking pot...we know nothing, doubt and feel dishonorably stripped of our titles and rights we build up in the past.
Why this change?

Upvoting this one, like I described yesterday here as well. The only way to get more funds in now is to up prices. Which will also distance us further from gaining new members that are paying. While this change already makes a lot of us "old cores" choose differently. Which means they are hurting our core members we founded this network with.
I really scratch myself behind my ear,...while it almost falls off... To me this move won't mean much, but my God, loosing even 1 - 10 more grandfathers and their activities, with only one move, means ten most loyal customers gone. And what you get back for this is 100 Barbie babies, that won't pay until daddy grabs his wallet. How are they going to reach into a heart of a child predator now then? Or are they so simple to activate for payment...:?

So say to fall for this, who's to say they wont up the prices. They clearly can not be trusted, if your going to carry on creating here i would check out other places to make cash, make sure you safe guard yourselves. Put some time aside to maybe learn another , have a backup plan. I wouldnt trust this company it has now sunk to such low depths.
They got a slap once with the music trial, many customers then no longer felt they could trust purchasing music from imvu. This has left such a bitter taste, i enjoyed the challenge of creating and being in the UK with all the extra tax i could buy a little item for my home as a little pat on the back for doing well.
It gave me something interesting to do while taking calls and giving information and working out jobs for my customers. Members, developers, and this company should go hand in hand, their should be respect from all, but sadly this company has been very one sided since it become more and more successful almost to the point now of being arrogant.
What any dev wishing now to do i hope you go on and make a big success of your work, you earned it. But just make sure you have another door open protect yourselves. !
