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

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.

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 ;)

@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.

@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.

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 

As A Reply Back To @SavingGrace On The Topic Of Subscriptions...

I Hate To Burst The Bubble At IMVU Staff...

But I've Never Bought An Advertisement Before In My Life,
If I Want Something I Simply Go Get It, Otherwise I'm Not Interested...

The IMVU Staff Should Know By Now That Pushing
Subscription Models Over The Traditional Way Of
Doing Things...

Is Not Going Well For Microsoft & Their Game Pass
In The Current Right Now, As A Matter Of Fact They
Are Getting Heavily Beaten Over The Head On That
Topic Right Now...

If This Really Is What IMVU Staff Wants??
-- Believe Me, Going Down That Path Is Dark & Twisted
---- They Won't Like What They Find

If This Is Not Their Intended Goal??

The IMVU Staff Needs To Do Some Explaining
Of What Their Actual Goal Is, Because Clearly
Nobody Is Getting Any Hint To What It Is Here, ~___~

If The Goal Is For Higher Quality ??
--- I'm Not Seeing The Benefit Of Higher Quality Yet...

Having My 2 Accounts Stolen, Does Not Look Like A Higher Quality Service
Anywhere Near It In Fact In My View At All, ~___~

It Makes This Company Or Group Of People In Charge
Look Extremely Shady, Instead, o____O

As most of you have said, this is just not right. So many of us have been in here for 10 or 12 years and so many from the birth of IMVU. They have taken so many things away for the dumbest of reasons and, of course, never considered reimbursing us even 1 credit. I use classic 99% of the time. I will post photos on fee but find I have to make sure I'm not following everyone in the universe. Yes, todays, generation is mobile but there are still plenty of us who are older and are not. It's a sad state of affairs we are facing in what used to be a place we could go for hours and hours.... OUR OTHER REALITY...... it is sinking into oblivion.

IMVU JUST TOOK AWAY ALL OF MY SONGS AND MIXES..THEY ARE ALL GONE...I MAY NOT BE STAYING ON THIS WEBSITE MUCH LONGER AFTER THIS...ALL THOSE MEMORIES AND ALL THE MEMORIAL MIXES I MADE FOR DEAR FRIENDS WHO HAD PASSED AWAY AND ALL THE CHRISTMAS AND HOLIDAY MIXES, HALLOWEEN, ETC...ALL GONE FOR GOOD...12 YEARS WORTH OF SONGS AND THESE PEOPLE WANT TO ONLY REFUND MEMBERS SONG PURCHASES AFTER OCTOBER 2025...THATS 6 MONTHS .AND NOT EVEN REFUNDING CASH..THEY ARE ONLY REFUNDING MEMBERS IMVU CREDITS WHICH ARE WORTHLESS AND COST NOTHING TO THEM TO GIVE OUT....THEY HAVE SOME NERVE..WITH NO MUSIC TO PLAY THIS IS GOING TO BE LIKE BEING ON MOBILE OR DESKTOP,,,NOT MUCH FUN AND NOT WORTH IT..AT THIS POINT IM TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH THESE PEOPLE

I Agree With Scultry Here,

I Know It Sounds Bad From My View, I Totally Get The
Frustration People Have, But When Your Silent For 10 Years,
& All They Do Is Walk All Over You, & Ignore You??

Something Has To Give, Them Or Us...

I Silently Was Trying To Quit Spending 10 Years Ago,
& Just Grow On Here With What I Already Accumulated...

But After This, & It's Still Going On 10 Years Later??
--- I Can't Do This Silent Treatment Anymore, ~____~

I Got What I Wanted Out Of My Experience Already,
Sooooo, I Am Not Angry Of Anything Lost On My Part,
Or Spent On My Part, But The Mass Neglect Here,
& Stolen Accounts Over An Attitude That Has Come
Out Of Nowhere ??

Makes Some People Question What Is Really Going On Here, ~____~

& As I Said ??

We Need Some Real Answers To This,
& We Need To Be Careful About How
This Information Is Driven Out,
& We Need Da Hard Reality Truth, ~____~

Not Some Faulty Half Baked Answer
From Some Toxic Child...

We Need Actual Truth ~_____~


PS:

IMVU Staff Claimed Before All This,
They Were In Financial Issues...

Either That Is Costing Them A Lot Of Heated Problems ??
--- Or They Just Got Completely Nutzo On Their Brains Out Of Nowhere

Clearly Something Is Wrong, & I Don't Want To Encourage
This Kind Of Thing Onto Others, Not Behavior, Nor Troubling
Them With An Account...

Even If This Was About Mobile Portable Use,
It Doesn't Explain Why Many Who Already Are On
Mobile / Portable Are Also Having Troubles Of
Their Own, Or Even That Mobile / Portable Has
Already Been Around For A While Now...

If This Was Only That ??

I Don't Really Get Their Selling / Marketing Around That
For Me To Grasp & Understand Their Purpose Here On That...

I Think What's Really Going On Is Far
Out Of That Reach, & Much More Is Going
On Then We Think Is Going On, Here...

I Think Something Is Really, Really Wrong,
& They Just Won't Tell Us What's Wrong,
Either They Had Some Issues & Got Into Trouble,
Or They Are Deliberately Causing These Troubles,
Or The Alternative Is Their Just Shutting Down,
& Want To Suck People Dry As Much As Possible
Before Doing So, Or They Simply Are I'll & They
Have Mental Problems & Can't Function Right,
Or The Lastly, But Not Least Problem Is They
Just Don't Want To Do IMVU Anymore, & They Just
Simply Are Not Handling The Shut Down Very Well At All...

Or The Final Problem Is That They Actually Sold IMVU
& Sold It To A Group Of People Who Want To Do Harm With It,
& Are Likely Not Good People, ~_____~

The Sad Reality Is, I Can't Determine Which Of These
Outcomes Is The One That's Really Going On, & The Worst
Part Is That Most Of These Sound Really, Really Bad,
Especially If You Use A Bank Account With This Site,
Which Thankfully I Do Not, ~____~


Either Way, Good Look To What Others
Plan To Do From Here On Out, o_____O

As A Matter Of Fact, I Don't Even Know If I Trust
This Place Anymore Enough To Keep My Account Open,
& Not Permanently Closed, Soooo, That Is Where I'm
Already At Here... Is That I'm Not Even Sure I Should
Keep My Account To Start With, o____O

Yes I understand that younger users use their phones for everything but it has become a huge problem with them not able to see their KBs. They try to enter rooms in classic causing them to crash. In the past month I have seen at least four phone app users with KBs over 17K. Please fix this so they can see their KBs and possibly tell them what they are?

Problems often arise when some user types mingle with other user types because of compatibility issues. 

Some of these issues can arise when some user types are unaware of basic things like what KBs are, which names are displayed, ability or lacking ability to see chat emojis posted by Mobile users. 

1. Classic users can only see account names
2. Classic users can't see emojis.
3. Only Classic users can see KBs while KBs still affect those whom can't see KBs... mobile phones getting overheated if someone enters with high KBs
4. Even if Beta / NEXT / Desktop users can't see how many KBs outfits have they can still be affected by outfits with insane levels of KBs and they start lagging and sometimes crash.

When creating chatrooms then chatroom owners should get more options in the room filter of whom are allowed to load into their chatroom. This is because of compatibility issues.

Options like: 

1. Age range 
2. Gender
3. Maximum KBs allowed 
4. Which user type can load into the chat room: Mobile, Beta, NEXT, Desktop, Classic
5. Option to prevent emojis
6. Which name type gets displayed; account name or the name non Classic users can change to. Classic users need ability to see the name non Classic users can change to ( without needing to pay for a name change ). If Classic users are excluded from seeing the chosen name that only non Classic users can see then it can create problems that will have negative consequences on social interactions.
7. Outfit change prevention... some users spam frequent outfit changes while inside chat rooms and doing that causes extreme lagging and sometimes crashes

pour ma par je pense que vuvu fermera d'ici 3/4 ans ,déjà en vu que vuvu a étai racheter déjà a trois reprise et que les bug ne cesse de se cumuler et pour une raison simple que beaucoup comme moi voir tous en France on ne peut plus acheter de crédit ou pour ceux qui peuvent encore se vois avoir  des frai a chaque achat avec la carte bleu obliger de passer par néo surf ou autre il y a un ans on étai plus que 40000 connecter les soir d'influence aujourd'hui a peine 30000 pour ma par depuis qui a les tel c'est un gros merdier malheureusement et certain créa fon n'importe quoi pour passer leur produit de base interdit donc se gros mélimélo qui essaye de rectifier, beaucoup on quitter se merveilleux monde ou ai née la haine en tous genre voila pour mon point de vu

@Guest..You are 100 % right.....here is Guests translation from french to English in case nobody understood....

Personally, I think Vuvu will shut down within 3 or 4 years. It’s already been bought out three times, and the bugs just keep piling up. There’s also a simple reason: many people in France—or actually all of us—can no longer buy credits directly; those who still can face extra fees on every bank card transaction and are forced to use Neosurf or similar services. A year ago, there were over 40,000 users online during peak times; today, it’s barely 30,000. Personally, I think it’s been a huge mess ever since mobile access was introduced; unfortunately, some creators do whatever it takes to push products that are actually banned, creating a chaotic situation they’re now trying to fix. Many have left this wonderful world—which has become a breeding ground for all kinds of hate—so that’s my take on it.

@Guest.....

Vous avez tout à fait raison... C'est triste de voir ce qu'ils nous ont fait subir et comment ils ont gâché leur propre site avec toutes ces décisions stupides et la façon dont ils ont traité les clients fidèles qui les ont toujours soutenus. C'est vraiment dommage qu'ils aient détruit ce site que nous aimions tous autrefois.

Translation back to @Guest in English for all.....

You are 100 % right....Its sad what they have done to all of us and ruined their own website with all the stupid decisions they have made and how they have treated the loyal customers who always fought for them.Its a shame that they destroyed this website that we all once loved.
