Zephr - your stats are very intriguing.  If it is true, more participation would command more attention. 
    I'm also curious if the number of players includes the number of avatars that were farmed just for money, when it was possible. Nevertheless the disparity between the number of members in the forum and the number of members in the game is still large. So you make a valid point.
    The counter-argument could be that the members that actually invest the most time & money into the game are most likely also members in the forum.  Also theoretically, it may be reasonable that a large number of members may not be committed to the forum because they are just as loosely committed to the game.  Kinda like Paredo's Law often quoted in John Maxwell's leadership books - 80 percent of your results will usually come from your top 20 percent of performers.  Maybe the members of the forum already represent the  most committed members of the game.  Which would mean that the Devs should accept the number of users in the forum as the most valuable and committed users.  Thus the Devs should keep their ears sharp for the forum members now.

My stats are taken from site:  31 users active in the past 15 minutes, 2 members, and 25 guests is current.

Of course, the total number of players must include farmed AVs but I have no way of telling that number but I am also 1 on forum but have many more active AVs playing.   I think that we can agree that the percentage of active players is far above the number on forum even allowing for farmed AVs.
 
Your counter-argument that the members that actually invest the most time & money into the game are most likely also members in the forum is fine in theory but I don’t think that it will stand up to scrutiny.   I know many players that spend a lot of time playing that I have never seen on forum.

It should open a new tab in your browser.

New outfit for girls. It's good but it's $5,000. Is this the direction we are going?

[Vrook]

The outfit overall, it's nice, to say. Even though, the top piece, doesn't really fit perfectly over the girls breasts. But still, $5,000 seems a bit too steep. Compared to the BDSM one that was like, $1,500.

An outfit that makes for 10% of the appartment price. Which for some prem girls, is a lot. Since they save up for their own place and such. But considering they would still want to try the new outfit, it's quite a dent into their budget.

I wouldn't mind paying those prices for clothes, as long as we get them, especially since the guys are lacking them...

[Vrook]

Indeed, the male demographics of the game lacks possibilites of customization, regarding clothes. But still, it's still, an outfit. $1000, $1500 is still resonable. Since, there has been some work involved in drawing it. But $5000, as I said earlier, is a bit too steep.

Ah ah ah 5000 $ for an outfit..is it a joke, right ?
Now I expect multiple female avatars asking 1000$/round for mute sex.
If it's the direction the game has decided to take, then I'm out.

it is alot of money lol i spent 15k just to buy 3 of them, but it's a nice little outfit, would've been better priced at 2k or 3k but 5k is a bit much lol

Still happy i bought it though

I assume that you bought 3 because you have more than 1 AV.   That is a perk of being premium but if you have all 6 that is $30,000.   Then there is the pose available in Red Heat, $4,000, so another $24,000 or combined more than the cost of an apartment.

And it annoys me that an apartment is not available to all AVs on a single account.   I know that clothes are not interchangeable but apartments are at a different level of expenditure.

Do you still get $1,000 if you delete/create an AV under a premium account?   All my slots are used (yes, in both senses).

PS Despite high price I see a lot of girls wearing it.
