Count Down To Shut Down OF Classic Or Is IMVU Completely Finished?

personally i prefer classic over the others instead of bringing classic to an end go work on cleaning up next and that theres so many that enter rooms posting links still and still under 18s are still getting in and on another note i really really dont like the new update seriously cant enter a non ap room with ap on or even put on ap thats just messed up i change often into ap things wen im in my rooms but now i cant cause u took that away from us your making vu boring and you will loose alot of people if continue please give us back the ability to change into ap at least in a club of ur own 

@Sarirea  Yes, I agree with you. Unfortunately, they mainly focus on IMVU Mobile and IMVU Desktop and seem to be paying less attention to the old Classic Client. Some things haven't worked properly for a long time, but the bugs aren't being fixed.

I tested IMVU Desktop, but I didn't like it. Some features that work with IMVU Classic don't work with IMVU Desktop. As a long-time Classic user, I find IMVU Desktop simply boring. With the Classic Client, we always had cool parties with voice boxes, music boxes, and DJ light effects, but that's no longer possible with IMVU Desktop.

@Lyciel666 so the bubbles can be turned off. With a keyboard command. Is this information readily and easily found or is it a hidden feature known only by the long time users? If it is a hidden feature, why? Surely the classic app can be updated to make this feature readily available to the new user experience?

While the desktop and next app might cover some of the visual environment. Not having to use a work around to not see what you wrote twice is more user friendly.

BUBBLES - You can easily turn off the speech bubbles with CTRL+B - nobody has to read their writing twice if they know how to use Classic ;)

So I saw this topic and started reading responses and I saw something that caught my eye:

"I strongly suggest you spend some time learning it's features and give feedback to IMVU regarding, the inspirations you may have and contributive suggestions for further development"

Since there is IMVU Next, IMVU Desktop and IMVU Classic I decided to try all three.

Camera Navigation: Next and Desktop have better 360 viewing at the cost of speed. Classic has the viewing speed at the cost of less user friendly 360 viewing.

Product Nodes: Next and Desktop do this one very nice. You can see what your avatar is going to be doing before interacting with the product. Classic doesn't do this.

Chatting Experience: Each instance had it's ups and downs. Really comes down to preferences.
    Chat Box: Classic did this one better. It doesn't cover up the visual environment like Next or Desktop.
    Bubbles?: Do we need to see what we wrote twice? Next and Desktop wins here.
    Multiple Chat Sessions: Classic does better on being able to switch between chatting environments. Next and Desktop make it easier to follow along when not in a particular chatting scene.
    Changing Looks: I found the experience to be about the same across all three platforms.

@Abby819729 ..I have flagged your comment where you insulted and degraded people because they cannot stand the new crap IMVU is putting out..because you violated community board standards.Just because you dont like what we say doesnt mean you get to call people names and hurl insults at us.You have NO clue what you are talking about anyways.Other than the Classic Client, all the other versions are garbage, case closed.No music mixes, terrible graphics,less mobility to move around,and the list goes on and on.Mobile and Desktop are HORRIBLE.Just like electric cars are HORRIBLE.Why do you think electric cars have not taken off like they were supposed to by now.That was supposed to be the "new age invention" that all of us would soon be driving and own and that was years and years ago.Hardly anybody owns an electric car.Why? They suck, thats why....In your warped mind you think that newer automatically means better.You are so off its not even funny.The people that love and use Classic Client are the ones that spend the money on this website and keep it afloat, not the mobile newbies or desktop users.Tehy join for a month and leave.WE are the loyal ones that stay and spend money on music and items.Every idea they come up with backfires. What they should have done is put their money and resources into making the Classic Client even better and upgraded it.That would have saved this website.Do you see the declining numbers every single month? We used to have well over 100,000 people on at the same timew years ago,,on weekends it was over 150,000...now we are lucky to see it hit 30,000...and why do you think that is???? Let me answer that for you.All the people have quit and left because they refuse to upgrade and fix issues with the Classic Client.Yhey were going to get rid of the Classic Client about 5 years ago, but we have all fought them to keep it and they also do have a realization that if they do get rid of it, they may sink their ship for good...The Classic Client is where their real customers were and still are.If they dont get it together and realize that soon, and continue down the road with the mobile and desktop garbage, this website will be history.You can kiss it goodbye.So maybe then you can take all your great technology with you and drive off in your electric car into the sunset because IMVU will cease to exist....

@MrNathanLadds -- they only shutdown one version of the Flash widget but another new version exists that is functioning - this is more about $$$ than losing any contract -- plain and simple IMVU wants to control access to Music so they can profit through subscription access to use it on their platform.

I Think The #1 Problem On IMVU Is That The World Changed,
But Only A Portion People Actually Adjusted To Those Changes...
--- Social Networks (FaceBook, Twitter, Insta)
--- Social Media (TikTok)
--- Digital Control Your Mobile Phone & Perform Privacy Theft Everywhere
--- Computers Are Now Fitted For Mobile Portable Environments
--- AI Will Do Everything For You & Make It All Simple-er

Most Companies Think That The Whole World Jumped On This Waggon,
But In Reality, Only 15% Of That World Jumped On, ~____~

That's Why There Is Such A Massive Backlash,
& Also Why Companies Don't Understand Why, o____O

--- Face Book
--- Twitter
--- Robotic AI
--- STEAM (Largest Video Game PC Site)
--- Windows 11

Are All Massively Getting Hard Feedback,
& Massively Getting Destroyed By Customers...

If IMVU Wanted A Part Of That Future??
--- Then It's Clear Why They Are Also Getting Beaten To Shreds, Too

It's Cause It's Not As Enjoyable In Reality As It Sounded On Paper,
It's A Giant Mess, & Everyone Is Trashing It Hard, ~_____~

I Think Some Companies Got The Wrong Idea
What Everyone Wants In The World, &
Because They Are Pushing It Far Too Hard,
People Are Retaliating Back, ~___~


Am I Wrong??

The IMVU Staff Slanders Us & Disrespects Us, & Treats Us Like Dirt...

Yet They Throw In Words Like
Be Respectful In Our Faces??

Like Hell I Will, They Don't Deserve It, ~____~

They Stole Property That Was Paid For,
The Kill Accounts Whenever They Feel Like It,
They Make Content You Buy Disappear Anytime They Want...

Their Service Works Like Arzs,
& They Sell Broken Stuff Today...

---- In My View: They'll Get Respect When One Is Provided, Not Before...
------ & They Won't Get One Provided Until They Start Earning It, o___O


PamelaAnderson -

The songs sample perfectly fine before you buy them, then after you pay for them and put it into a mix, the wont work.

My Response:

Thank You, Now I Know Not To Buy Any New Songs...

-------------------------------------------------

PS: To Abby819729

You Say That We Don't Understand Technology Enhancements

We Do, But What You Don't Understand Is,
Most That Stuff You Talk About Are For New Audiences Only...

We Stick To The Classic Client,
Because We Prefer It Over All Those
Technology Advancements You Call Improvements, o____O

Look At IMVU Next For Instance??

That Came With Higher Quality Avatars & Rooms,
Poses, & A Lot More...

When's Last Time It Got An Upgrade??
All The Way Back When Mini-Games Got Shut Down...

The New Desktop APP, I Quit Using It, Cause It Kept
Crashing On My Computer, The Free Spin Was Over Layed
By A Giant Advertisement I Couldn't Cancel Out All 

Because The Button To Close It Was Too Large On My
Dum Screen For Me To Find It, Anotherwords It Got
Hidden Behind Something I Could Not Fix A Problem On...

The Overall IMVU Experience On It Has Been Ultimately
Worst, & All I Really Want Is Just To Stay On Classic...

Let All The Younger Kids Use The Desktop BETA APP,
& The Mobile Phones...

The Staff Needs To Let Us Use The IMVU Classic & The IMVU Next...

You & The Staff Wants Everyone In The Same Place??

Srry To Burst Yours & Their Bubble, There,
But Most Kids Want To Be On Mobile,
& I Refuse To Put IMVU On A Mobile Phone...

Life Sucks, But That's Just Something People Have To Deal With,
We Want Different Things Then The Younger Kids Want...

We Leave Them Alone, & Don't Force Them To Use Our Experiences,
& We Don't Even Ask For Anything, But Privacy...

The Staff Can't Even Get The Staff Service Right At All, ~____~

You & The Staff Know Nothing About The Staff's Customers At All, o____O

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm Trying To Be Open Minded To Social Media,
But I Am Not A Social Network Fan, Soooo??

If The Product Is Anti-Social, Then The Product Is Dead,
If The Product Is Pro-Healthy Social, Then It's A Product I'm Willing To Give A Chance...

I Don't Do Anything On A Mobile Phone,
I Don't Do Anything On A Portable Device,
& Above All, Computers Should Just Be Computers...

----------------------------------------------------

Now That We Settled This:

Lets Review What Abby Actually Wrote...

1.) Were to get one of the brand new electric motor cars full of the latest technological innovations

#1) Problem Is You Think Latest Technology In New Electric Cars Is Innovative??
------ I Disagree, I Think It's Anti-Innovative Instead
------ Costs Are High, Computer Chips In Cars Is Stupid
------ Self-Driving Causes Death, Because It's Fake Advertising

#2) This may be simply because you have no idea how the new technology works??

---- We Do, Which Is Exactly Why We Prefer The Classic, Not The Other Newer Products...

#3) It's camera is only 50,000 times better than the one in Classic ??

---- Last I Checked Clicking The New Camera Tools To Pan & Scan Rooms
------ Is Worst Then Using A Mouse To Roam The Rooms & It's Slower, Too
------ If You Wanted Mobile Format Clients?? Then Yes This Is Improved...
------ But We Don't Want That Junk, & Most The One's Who Do Already Have It...

4) It can display textures and lighting that are simply not possible in Classic??

---- Is This Having Anything To Do With AP + Or IMVU + Or VIP + Services At All??
---- What About NTSF Or What Products??

I Can Only Speak For Myself Here, But I Use None Of That At All,
If That's Where The New Improved Lighting & Textures Comes From,
Then I Have No Use For It, Because I Don't Use The Very Products
That Utilize The Lighting & Textures, ~___~

This Reminds Me Of When IMVU Added The Supposed Resizing Parts Of Avatars,
To Make Avatars Larger, Smaller, Skinny, Fat On IMVU... Which Improves Things,
But It Also Broke Poses, It Broke Shirts, Pants, It Even Broke Avatar Joints
On The Service, & No, You Can't Just Go, & Update The Product To Fix It,
Because The Problem Isn't In The Product, The Problem Is In The Resizers... ~___~

IMVU In 2026, Still Runs As If It Was Fitted To Run On The 2006 APP
Long Ago, Where Avatars Were Bulky, It Shows On Avatars, & Also
Furnature, & Even In Rooms...

The Size Of Rooms Haven't Even Been Fitted To An Adjustable Size
To Meet The Size Changes & Avatar Joint Adjustments To Make Room
For More Actual People To Utilize The Rooms, Above All, The Artwork,
The Furnature, & Many Other Things Haven't Been Fitted To This Adjustment, Either...

Sooo, In My View:

It's Like We Are Using Updated Improved Looking Avatar Qualities,
& Higher Textures On Things That Are Still Fitted To The 2006 APP,
Which Has Been Long Gone By Now... Heck, I've Even Seen Rooms Where
The Size Of Room Is Ultra Tiny, Yet The Furnature Going Inside Them
Barely Fits In Them, o___O

Such As A Basement Room, Or A Loft??
Where The Door Is At Top, With A Stair Case Going Down,
& It's Just A Rectangle Down On The Floor Level Space...


PS:

I strongly suggest you spend some time learning it's features???

----- and contributive suggestions for further development ??


Ok, You Want My Feedback Here It Is On Future Development??

"MY FEEDBACK FOR THE FUTURE"
----------------------------

The Desktop BETA APP, Crashes Much Harder Then The Classic Does,
It Uses A Lot More Resources Then What The Classic Used...
--- This Sucks On Anything Driven By Windows 11

The Classic APP Needs A Switch Allowing Auto-Cache Clean Up Without Closing Client...

The Next Needs To Update & Change / Alter It's Log In Service,
The Log-In Service Takes Way Too Long To Load Compared To The
Log-In Screen That Used To Be There Before, We Don't Need A
Giant Wall Of Artwork To Load Long Before A Sign-In Box Appears,
Just Get Us The Sign-In Box, o____O

Get Rid Of The Pop Up Box On Top Of The Free Spin
On The New Desktop BETA Client...

The New Mouse Arrow Clicking Camera Settings
In Your Bottom Left Area?? Nobody Wants To Use That, ~___~

Incorporate The Same Technology Advanced Pose Spots
Onto The Desktop BETA Client That You Have On Next,
Bring The Music Player Over From The Classic To The
Desktop BETA APP...

Stop Messin With The Avatars & Genders In The IMVU Shop,
You Already Got Male & Female Ghosts Mixed Up As It Is,
Then You Got Male & Female Clothing Mixed Up In Shop...

Now You Want To Mix Up Genders, Too??

Your Shop Is An Entirely Cluster Screw Ball,
& The Navigation Of It All Is About As Much
Of An Abomination Due To Lack Of Maintenance,
Cleanliness, & Orderly Attractive Simple
Functionality, Which Actually Works... It Lacks
All Of This, & Not Just That?? But You Have Things
In The Wrong F Ing Categories, Shirts Where Pants Are,
Among Many Other Things... Actions In Other Categories...

Then You Have The IMVU Feed Which You Attached To Next??
--- Which I Would Never Actually Visit

Sooo, In The End??

MY FEEDBACK IS THIS:

I Have Tried & Gave The Desktop BETA A Chance,
I Have Tried The Mobile,
I Have Tried Next,
& I Have Used The Next Feed...

In The End:

I Still Choose To Use The Desktop Website,
I Still Choose To Use Classic Client,
I Still Use Promo & Real Credits,
I Still Want Bought Names To Be Permanent,
I Still Want My 2 Accounts That Got Deleted From IMVU Staff Back In Full,
I Still Say The Old Way To Get Credits Was Far Better,
& I Still Promote Avoiding Anything Else On IMVU... ~___~


My Feed Back Is I Still Prefer The Older System...

That's The Future Of IMVU In My View,
If That's Not Yours??

Then I'll Leave The Program When My Credits Run Out...
-- Good Luck With This Feedback, o____O

If any of you geriatrics supporting Classic were to get one of the brand new electric motor cars full of the latest technological innovations, you may in fact not know how most of it works and subsequently designate it as a modern pile of crap, and go back to your clanky old petrol powered car.

This may be simply because you have no idea how the new technology works and do not know how to access the benefits you have just paid for- 

This is a similar case with the new Desktop IMVU - It operates on an advanced technology not accessible by the old Classic App.

You believe the IMVU Desktop App is no good, simply because you have no idea how to use it - It's camera is only 50,000 times better than the one in Classic - It can display textures and lighting that are simply not possible in Classic-

I strongly suggest you spend some time learning it's features and give feedback to IMVU regarding, the inspirations you may have and contributive suggestions for further development    

They sell broken products that do not work constantly which is illegal and fraud.look at all the broken songs they are selling in the musict store.The songs sample perfectly fine before you buy them, then after you pay for them and put it into a mix, the wont work.They will show as playing but be totally silent.The songs go mute.They work when you sample them and dont work when they are put into mixes and we lose money constantly doing this.Also my room I had for 12 years and was our main room which had 100,000 visitors to it over the years and that we all used every single day disappeared off of my room listings and vanished and it happened right after I gave IMVU permission to go into my account to check the music issues.My room is gone forever and they have no explanation why.They even had the nerve to blame ME that I must have taken my own room down by mistake.Who takes a room down "by mistake"???? Let alone their main room they had for 12 years and was the room we used every single day.Why in the world would I take it down?They did it and have no records of it and have no way to get it back for me.Its very scary they could do this to you if they feel like it.I have NO violations on my record and they even said that and they have no idea where the room went to or why it disappeared.You would think they would have some way to get it back on a backup file or something but they say they do not.So my room is gone forever.I cried about it when I realized its gone forever.We had alot of geat memories in that room and alot of my dear friends who have since passed away spent alot of time in that old room.To lose it for no reason is heart breaking and they have no answers.They are the ONLY ones that could have did this , and my feeling is it was done on purpose because I put a complaint in about one of the IMVU agents who was very rude to me and they said they were going to discipline them.I also constantly put cases in with complaints and have become a bother to them, so I think they deleted my room on purpose to get me back....for revenge.Its very disturbing  to know you are at their mercy and can lose everything like that in a second if they want to....

The problem I seem to keep running into on this site is when something is broken , it takes to long for it to be fixed. I'm still getting multiple mails. When I access next to  do the spins I have to close it and reopen for it to load. I bought a shared room and that is a disaster. First thing it did not give me the option of which room I wanted to share, and it sent to invite to multi people. It also put the room on next empty. That room is fully decorated. I even did a shell change to another fully decorated room.  Plus the person I was sharing with landed in a different empty room we could not find each other. Support response was what I was telling them was a known issue with no ETA on a fix date. The heck with that  give me my money back. You have knowledge and still promoting and selling a defective product.  If they don't refund me I'm doing a bank charge back. When they get their mess fix I'll buy again until then  no they can't keep my money for a useless defective product. 

I feel like the people from sl are trying to trick us into going to sl and we won’t imvu is home 

We need classic
