IMVU phasing out IMVU Classic would mean the DEATH of IMVU.
So many LOYAL players prefer IMVU Classic, and that preference should be nurtured not ignored. Next has been nothing but a pain to work with for so many people, it's not user-friendly, it overheats devices and it's lifeless. There is a reason 90% of the player base haven't converted to Next. Classic is well, classic. It is preferable. I genuinely think the staff of IMVU would make so much more money if they fixed the bugs or issues in IMVU Classic rather than ignoring them. Please, listen to your loyal player base and don't kill your game. There are so many voices trying to reach you guys, voices who want the game to succeed, so listen to them.
Also, I think you need to work on your marketing and advertising. I don't think generic ads will work anymore, they just get scrolled past. You need to make tiktoks, sponsorships with gaming YouTubers etc. You need to, for example, pull a 'Stanley Cup' and get that viral TikTok to give the business that push.

Sadly the classic client is operating on 32 bit software, a lot of modern operating systems supports 64 bit, the classic client is just "hanging on" until 32 bit is no longer being supported. I agree I don't like the desktop/mobile and I will never see myself being on it. Imvu is not even advertising the client anymore so its pretty obvious where this is going. You're right the client gone will be the death of imvu but it is what it is.

IMVU Classic is the backbone of this site. Classic users have the most IMVU experience and knowledge of how this site functions.
The Mobile IMVU experience will never measure up to the visual experience one gets from IMVU Classic on a large high resolution flat screen.
Even IMVU Desktop is lacking.
One also needs to make some comparisons between the user base: Mobil, Desktop and Classic. There are so many things one can compare; all from site dedication, account upgrades, chatroom ownership & room slots, purchase habits, loyalty, longevity / age of accounts, content creation.... and much more.

Ok...first I will say I will not leave Classic until Desktop:
Has any last missing features put in, like narration.
They really go through and improve performance so it doesn't crash as easily as it does at times.
I do question your comment on "90% of the player base haven't converted", as I see way more people on mobile nowadays than I do on Classic. Rooms and players I had imagined would be mainly Classic users were on mobile. If anything, I'm seeing Classic usership shrinking, mostly from older players who left for good.
I also agree they should do better marketing, but I also think they need to build better systems to drive engagement and better behavior.
I often feel like the day to day for them is slapping band aids on things to keep the machine going.
They need to show a real user benefit to joining now, as I feel like many just go to other gaming, socialize on Twitch or Discord, and don't understand what benefit they get out of VU.
