I've seen the asset-trading mentioned in another post. I was just thinking about it, and (I don't care if we get it or not lol) maybe you could have a premium membership that allowed you to do that with another premium person. And as far as advantages go other than that, maybe like..discounts on the packs or some new hoard pieces for how many times you've bought it (lasts a month or two?). I know a lot of people would use it ^-^ Or maybe a like..piece trading market or something. By that I mean they can make their own pieces (if we are able to draw our own eventually [which I doubt], then that, or just use assets) and the premium people can put them in the market for a small price for the people on the site to buy. Does that make sense? I know it's unrealistic, but it's merely an un-processed thought.

We probably will be doing a "premium" membership... right now the planned benefits are more storage (so more saved dress ups, gallery images, and assets), custom user pages, an emerald allowance, and maybe a title.

We will probably continue to discus the possibility of "asset trading". But it would really have to be something that I could figure out how to balance and make work with the existing system. Letting it be a feature just for premium member might work though... I will discus it with Boo and figure out if we can manage something ;)

Haha alright, works fine by me! I'm happy just the way everything is, though, so if nothing changes, I'm a-okay. ^*^

Will this "premium" membership require the use of a credit card to purchase? Cause if so I wouldn't be able to get it.

At first it might have to... But if we can make the site big enough, then I can start accepting some of those game cards that you can get at stores ;)

We have been looking for other solutions, but there are not a lot of payment options out there for younger people :(

Will the premium membership last once you buy it or will it expire and a certain date?

It will probably be a monthly thing (with an option to buy a year at a time)... it kinda has to be. The main point of it is so that we can give you guys more storage space and stuff like that. We get charged every month for storing those images, and so to store extra we would have to charge every month ;)

I don't really think it's fair for some people cant afford it nor the parents cant.I can,It's just some people on here cant and they would be missing out on some fun stuff from what I hear maybe will be in this "Premium Membership".That's all. :)

A site costs money to keep up, this one doesn't make enough money to even pay for a moderator or for me or Boo to be able to work on it full time. It can't stay that way forever ;)

My plan is to always keep the main content accessible for everyone. To me, that content is things like the Magic Makers and being able to save up and buy packs and stuff.

Other things, like bigger galleries and such, are nice... but you don't have to have it. You can save extra images to your computer or another image sharing site online. Things like special profile pages are meant to be just a "thank you" from us to the people that help us keep the site up, they maybe look fun but they don't give an advantage in the Magic Makers.

I know it isn't a perfect system, but if it means that I can leave the Magic Makers up for everyone, then I think it is a good idea. I love this site and I would really like it to be around for a long time. Creating this "premium" system would give us a way to let people help keep the site up and running :)

I think this is the fairest kind of premium membership I've seen on the entire Internet so far.
It's perhaps more of a donation with small benefits as a thankyou  :)
I suddenly realised that I use flowers alot, and actually called it my signature. So TADAA:

With lots of thanks to Dragonlord Daegen for making my beautiful signature!

Don't do a premium account. I beg.

Then I'd feel like I'm lower than all the premium account-ers.

Chuchu'd be feeling saddy-whaaaaa-dy.

But, would it be worth it Irma, if it meant I could put up a new doll maker or activity every 2 weeks?

If the site could make enough money to be my full time job, then I could add stuff that fast. If it made enough to pay Boo too, that would be even better. We could have lots of new types of games (like storybook makers and pet makers and an virtual world), and get all the little bugs fixed much faster.




If this was a perfect world, and I was somehow super rich and didn't have to worry about anything... I would just run this site and make games. There would be no ads and no purchasing of anything, but at the moment I am just a regular person :P

good idea, I personally wouldn't be able to use it but still an epic idea!
"life is a game, play it well"-me and a friend made that quote together, I said something and the friend made my comment into this amazingly true little sentence.
"be glad you haven't got about as much bravery as a carrot, cause that's as much as I have"-me again seriously it's true in real life >_<
