We want to share an update regarding music services used in IMVU Classic rooms.
IMVU currently partners with Vervelife, a third party music licensing and distribution provider that supplies the music catalog used in IMVU Classic. Vervelife manages licensing with music rights holders and handles the vendor payments and legal compliance required to make this music available on the platform.
Vervelife has made the decision to discontinue support for the music services they provide. Because this service, including its licensing, infrastructure, and continued operation, is entirely owned and managed by Vervelife, this change is outside of IMVU’s control, and we do not have the ability to maintain or extend it.
We know music plays an important role in many IMVU rooms and experiences, and we understand this news may be disappointing. Our team is actively exploring alternative music solutions that could be compatible with IMVU Classic’s legacy technology.
In the meantime: • Music purchases through the Vervelife system have already been disabled. • Radio streaming remains supported on other platforms, including IMVU Web, Desktop, and Mobile. • Existing Flash radio streaming products are not expected to be affected.
We understand many of you have invested in music for your rooms, and we’re taking steps to support impacted users during this transition. We will be accommodating refunds for recent music streaming purchases where applicable. Eligible users will be contacted directly in the coming weeks with more information.
We will continue to share updates as we learn more about the timeline for this transition and evaluate possible solutions.
Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to make IMVU a place full of creativity, expression, and great music.

@Bammcrime clearly the man is a professional poster. That is too funny. I tried to put a ticket in and it did not allow me to. apparently now you can only put a ticket in if you have account issues. My only issue at this point is Where TF is my music! I cannot even locate all the songs I purchased using REAL credits. since they were strict about not allowing us to use ant promo creds.... I sure would like to know what that poster is even talking about as far as it is better here now. what part is better exactly? the fact that they took away the free room slot? or the music they took away? I guess he plays the game with blinders on. Either way, I will need my credits returned or my songs back.

XfariX first of all i am not your friend. Far from. Second i dont need to listen to you. you are not my father uncle teacher a priest or God. although i have the feeling you think you are God because of your flexing that you have been here since 2005. Nobody gives a rats ass about that. It doesnt mean i or anyone else has to listen to you. And no i am not new to this chat 3d website. on this account i have been here since 2011. But this isnt my only account. i have more that are older. and the oldest one that i created in 2008 i delete long time ago. So NO mister thinks he knows it all. i am not new. If you are so above everything and everyone then you would have already figured out within 2 clicks that this account isnt new and neither am i. And you call this a "GAME"? Lmao.... only newbees call it a game. a true OG would never. We laugh at that. Makes me think you arent OG at all and you took over this account from someone else because its pretty obvious that its YOU who is new to this "game" . Now go sit down and let the adults talk. Hush.

You fools, this AI mode gathers information from all the sites you use constantly. Sometimes, if you are well-known—for instance, when I typed the name "imvu xfarix"—the bot immediately confirmed that this name already exists in the game IMVU. Don't be naive; look at how it collects data and instantly reveals information about you. Do you get it, you fools? Xfarix, don't reply to them; they don't like an amazing person like you—they just want to hurt your feelings.
@Bammcrime Great job of investigating and finding that out...It figures Bamm..these people will go to any lengths to be sneaky and lie to us, this is yet another example..This person has no clue what they are even talking about.We were all here when this website was great....Its a shell of what it used to be and you can just check the number of members and customers that come on in here now..its down over 80 %..and that a FACT XfariX...you are delusional and Bamm exposed you to be a fraud plant by IMVU to try to lie and build up their criminal behavior..You are posting on their behalf because you are asoociated with them and trying to con us yet again..we see right through you people now...Its galling what you people will do to your paying customers who have been here for years...You never stop spitting in our faces...They robbed us all , they stole our money and the website is barely holding on because everyone is quitting and they are going to be sued...and you say its improved and we are "new" to the game"? What planet are you from???? How much is IMVU paying you to say that? We are NOT new to the game and we know EVERYTHING about this game and its history so theres yet more lies on top of lies you tell...so you can keep your lies to yourself ..You got caught for the fraud you are and now you are scrambling to even cover that up here...we could tell you the sky is blue and you will tell us its red and say you are right because you even believe your own lies....typical IMVU plant..so sneaky and so shady....I cant believe to what lengths these people go to in order to cover up their theft and fraud....I knew they were putting plants on here to kiss their butts to act like they have people that are happy ripping us off and destroying what once was a great website....You were caught redhanded XfariX and you can sugarcoat it or cover it up as much as you want to, we arent buying it....

Listen, my friend—and anyone else mentioning my name—with all due respect: I have been here since 2005, so please don't bother me. I stated the truth, and I have the right to express my opinion: IMVU has improved compared to previous years. You simply don't realize the difference between its past and present states because you are new to the game and don't know anything about it.

They have lied through their teeth about everything and did absolutely NOTHING when it was known by us over 2 years ago that verve Life was leaving them, yet they continued to take our money for songs they knew was going out of business and we would lose.They have lied and stole from us and you are thanking them????? Then you said "it's highly appreciated that the IMVU team is stepping up"..STEPPING UP TO DO WHAT??? I lost over $3800 worth of songs and music on here as did thousands and thousands of people..I had over 650 mixes..ALL GONE BECAUSE OF THEIR THEFT !!!! And they want to reimburse us CREDITS NOT OUR MONEY..USELESS CREDITS...and ONLY since October of the past year are they covering when they sold music to me for over 12 years and now they will cover about 5 months worth..THATS STEPPING UP TO YOU????You must work for them or have some stock in the company or something, because that post is completely bizarre...And you finished that insane post by saying...Thank you for supporting the community through this transition...SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY???? THEY HAVE NOT ANSWERED US ONCE ON HERE OR TRIED TO SOLVE THE FACT WE LOST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO THEM AND THEY STOLE IT....THEY HAVE GONE INTO HIDING AND THEY ARE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE..BECAUSE THE HIGHER UPS TOLD THE AGENTS NOT TO..LIKELY BECAUSE THEY ARE FACING LAWSUITS AND CANT DISCUSS THEIR THEFT ANYMORE FOR FEAR OF JEOPARDIZING THEIR CASE..I reported over 2 1/2 years ago that verveLife was leaving IMVU and we would be losing our music and everytime I asked IMVU about the report they lied to my face and said it wasnt true..and kept conning me to keep buying music they KNEW was going away..Then on top of that they had over 2 years to get off their butts and get a new music provider or do something to save what we had and they did NOTHING !!!!

I would love to hear it....You must be an employee because if you arent you are cluless to how this company stole from all of us....Money we will never see again.They owe us all our money back and lawsuits are under way...so you go praise them as much as you want to..let them steal your money and you can thank them for robbing you..you most likely had no money invested in this to even think about saying what you said..Its a slap in the face to all of us long time members that were robbed...

Let me see see there is 218 responses on this subject. and I'd say about 215 are not happy about being ripped off. I wonder how many of the 215 sent in a complaint to the FTC the people that can help them get a response, or are they just twitching and moaning here with the chance of getting help is zero. If 215 complaints landed on the desk of someone at the FTC you can bet some action would have happen by now. Following up with the question of what is happening with obtaining a lawyer for a class action? The clock is running out to file a suit everyday we moan here and take no real action. I put the name of the firm that sued Big Fish and won. Did anyone reach out to them? I personally have bigger fish frying, but would gladly add my name to a suit.
