Ugh, for some reason it won't let me type in anything but bold font. Sorry.
I have been a creator/user for 16 years, and after fiascos such as badges, which were fielded as an advertising tool originally for creators and then that promise was broken because they never worked for linking in classic, as well as other 'products' such as NFTs, AP+ is just another money grab foisted on the ignorant. IMVU pretends that they're the only product, let alone that in the realm of the so-called adult product that people get an infinitely cheaper and better deal if they go to the competitors.
The executives at IMVU really should go to the five pages of Urban Dictionary dedicated to IMVU and get a wakeup call. Over various CEOs IMVU has attained and shed tens of millions of users. Better policy decisions that are not based upon short term gains would have the current online population at any one time at probably ten to twenty times the number of users. But instead of responding to the actual customer, IMVU has a level of management that exists between the decision makers and the user so that they don't actually have to interact with their customer base. Rather than actually reading the forums, they rely upon surveys. I suspect the majority of surveys are filled out by new users - users who have been cultivated to harvest surveys for credits, and have an average account lifespan of 30 days. Good job, paying attention to a slanted minority. The old guard of IMVU almost never fill out surveys because we know that IMVU never really pays attention to what we actually have to say. The last time I bothered to post the truth, much like I am now, staff responded by wanting to delete my account. But, I will point out - I didn't add any of those urban dictionary entries. That's the reputation IMVU has fostered for itself.

I would like to formally bring to your attention a number of community posts and discussions regarding the newly introduced AP+ tier. When I first joined IMVU in 2009, acquiring Access Pass (AP) was a milestone I eagerly anticipated—it was a privilege worth waiting for.
Regrettably, over the years, the appeal, necessity, and overall value of AP have steadily declined. It is increasingly perceived as little more than an enhanced version of General Access (GA). Many users feel that the essence of what AP once represented is being gradually eroded, and that IMVU is now steering us toward yet another tier—AP+—which imposes an additional monthly financial burden.
Based on numerous user comments and feedback, including from those who currently hold AP+, the consensus appears to be that the new tier is overpriced and does not offer sufficient value to justify the cost. If AP+ were offered as a one-time upgrade fee for existing AP holders, it might be more appealing to some. However, under the current model, I, along with many others, do not intend to subscribe to this new offering

about to say something very truthful ’m GLAD imvu is declining. they overprice everything. they ban people left and right for the dumbest of reasons and send ads out so people can buy credits, vcoins, vip etc. the mods are stuff. 60% of imvu are child predators and IMVU does nothing to prevent it. they seen a uprise in the game and started getting money hungry and it died. there’s nothing IMVU can do to get people playing again. i remember playing on the classic and seeing over 204k people online. it dropped to 70k in 2023. and it's now at 38k

Is this what IMVU wants ?
If you want the correct answer then you will have to ask the IMVU Staff because it is only them who can make such a decision when there is a violation of the user guidelines.
It is better to practice caution and avoid taking unnecessary risks.
Don't provoke or offend others.
Don't disobey the user guidelines.

I added this in one of my latest tickets. We the consumer have no way of telling what is black market if it appears in the store. We make what we think is a legit purchase and are not redirected to another site to complete the sale. So okay if the Item turns out to be black market and gets a ban. However, it is not fair to punish the unsuspecting consumer by not reimbursing them for the store mistake. If the Item is in the store we are thinking it has to be legit. I had Ar "Fuck on a stool" taken from me and yet the exact same Item was still for sale in the store. They claimed mine was by a different creator. Like creators don't have Multiple accounts and use different names pushing the same product. Oh Please give me a break and don't try insulting my intelligence. Any way it was lousy Item your partner never got close enough to do anything but hump air, but it made me mad they took my Item and the same thing was for sale in the store.

There hasn't been any confirmation if AP+ will only be offered on one of the 3 platforms (Classic, NEXT and Mobile). . . . But I predict that once it's ready for the general customer base that it will be available for all 3 platforms. I base this on a few hints that I have noticed on the Classic Client.
1. On the IMVU Classic Find People app there is already an AP+ filter
2. On the IMVU Classic Friends list app they already display AP+ Badges if the friends have AP+
I am sure there already a few other subtle hints that AP+ will be offered for IMVU Classic when it's finally ready to be offered to the general customer base.
It seems that the IMVU Staff is finally starting to realize that best developers and the customers who pay the most are users of IMVU Classic.
BTW have you read every post in this thread? If not then I suggest you do and read them in chronological order. It will give you a general insight of the paying customers opinions and reasons weather or not they will get the AP+ subscription.

@RickEros Stuff is passed in PR constantly that is CLEARLY in violation. I have been punished a few times for properly failing items because others passed them. I've had to go back & flag the item. I lost my PR privileges for a month for doing exactly what is supposed to be done 99.4% accuracy yet I lost my rights only 2 wrong which are not wrong they are AP! Many creators have stopped doing PR which punishes other creators. Some no longer pass GA products just to be on the safe side or stick to items such as skin, shoes, heads things of that nature to avoid being unjustly punished.
Getting tired of waiting. When will Ap+ launch?
