Making AChat more of an actual game

[hentaiboy69]

mmmh, your idea looks interessing, but i don't think developers go to this direction, not whit aChat…
To creat something like what u describe, the actual aChat need a full rework, plus if u can unlock poses at any new level, what abiut the poses we buy whit A$!? or u was thinking about unlocking them and then u can buy them!? if this is not your idea (and u can have them for free), developers have to refound us all the A$ we had spend and i don't think they gonna do this.

Avalucia, yuor idea is nice but it can work for a totally new games. wel, that's my opinion, anyway!

[Avalucia]

Oh, yes, I did not think it realistic. It was just something I was pondering.

[Unhealer]

hate to be harsh, but thats a bad idea, the very concept of achat is that its sex chat with animations etc. making it more like other games would be like taking redlightcenter and adding raids and shit

[Unhealer]

although rlc with raids sounds funny as hell

[Avalucia]

Well, I have stated that it is not a realistic concept, not with a game that is already live (though that didn't stop SWG), but just something I was pondering while out roaming around the town. At no point have I stated that it would be something I would expect to see done, but merely my own musings with what has been done and what is available.

Take that as one will, I understand what AChat is.

I think there could come something from this brain exercise.. For me it connects to the thread about working males,females,shemales.. If you could get a 'degree in AChat', it could cater to the need of users to find someone with (similar) experience and skills.

A way of achieving a 'degree' could be a rating system. You rate the partner you were with, as he/she does the same. Combined with 'experience points' that are gathered with each rooming, you could create a number or evel, indicating someone's experience and skills in the game.

Ofcourse only to the ones willing to submit themselves to the scrutiny of their partner… Just an idea, open to be supported or to be shot down…

a lot of subjective evaluation being presented there.

There is an existing rating system to evaluate those you have gifted. Seems to me that this could be hardwired into a category of professionals with an evaluation survey at the end of the session. Not that I am warm to the idea, just mentioning.

[Unhealer]

they really just need to eradicate wgs, several ideas have been presented as to changing the gifting system to involve in game objects instead of money.

[Unhealer]

i once had a gf who told me that cash is for hookers and gifts are for gfs

[Bear]

well there are only so many outfits, and trivial gifts IMO are kind of a waste. Perhaps if one could gift “play points” which could be exchanged for subscription service the idea might have merit.

(had to laugh at the raid comment though I was thinking of the Gorean society in SL imposing their will on the general population there…)

[Unhealer]

its a waste either way, but at least if the gifts were trivial girls wouldnt be buying their subscriptions with gifts putting all the financial pressure on guys. not to mention the ongoing problem of going through the list that is tedious as hell to scroll through looking for girls who arent asking for gifts, which is half on a good day. and about 1/5th of the girls who dont ask for gifts in their description ask after

Sorry, Avalucie, I have to totally disagree with the premise. There are already 3D world places out there, RLC and SL, and tons of MMO games, it's never been (I would think) AChat's intent to compete with that. I do agree that the in-room stuff could be enhanced some (like being able to walk around, sit on a chair, edge of the bed), maybe allow for a bit of disrobing striptease to tease my partner with and that sort of thing, it doesn't need to be more than that.

You mention incentives. Meeting someone, having something click in chat and going on to share an intimate moment isn't incentive enough? Sure the hell is for me. And even in a bigger virtual world sense (like RLC or SL), the same held true, while clubbing hanging out with a whole group of friends etc. all have their place, it still boiled down to interacting with people. Sometimes that led to sharing intimate experiences and sometimes not.

So in AChat, in-room, if a guy isn't interacting with me via chat, what the hell am I in there for anyhow? Because really, if it's just a matter of me getting off, screw AChat and typing, I can use a vibe, close my eyes, fantasize to my heart's content and spare myself the bother of trying to juggle that vibe and type. Okay guys, fan yourself and chill, yeah you guys jack and we jill … be real, damn.

So while I can't speak for the OP, what makes those intimate moments is establishing at least a bit of interest (chatting) and sometimes a spark or connection happens and it goes to a more intimate level. And what AChat gives is more than enough for that (though we always want more, right? lol).

As for outfits … I'd sure like the option to strip tease wooo imagining the guy feasting his eyes, feel that tension building… but really all that pixel stuff shouldn't be the focus imho, it should be there to convey what's going on between two people at a intimate level. It's cyber sex, but that doesn't mean it's emotionally (or physically) meaningless. Hell call it mutual masturbation if you want (that'd be the technical correct thing, I reckon), but if it's really a shared experience, then it can (and most likely will) transcend that and let me tell you, it's great when it happens. As good as real? Hell no. But still awesome in its own way. Maybe even more awesome because there were so many hurdles to jump to get your mind (and body) to that place.

That's SHOULD be the incentive, not some pixelated gimmick crap. HD porn and a vibrator has a lot more going for it than merely pushing buttons and typing ooh-ahh, yeah baby, faster, harder.

As for gifting. I don't ask for it and don't expect it. It's a great surprise and thrill when it happens, like getting flowers or a card from someone … it brings back the smile and memory of what clicked (and how!). But to make it more blatant than it already is seems more like pandering or whoring to me. Or maybe that's just me.

As for rating systems … hell no! I'm not here competing for some twisted reality version of Fucking with the Stars. I'm here because of the social aspect first and foremost. The other stuff is great if/when it happens.

So I guess what I'd say Avalucia, is if that's what you're looking for, maybe you better take a close look at your motives for being in AChat. It is NOT a game, and it's that perpetuating a game notion that makes it tougher for the really nice guys to get out there and get themself noticed. There's already way too much “game” playing (the human kind not the video kind) going on anyhow without going out looking for ways to make this Sims 3 Fuck City.
