Novice Idea[:

I think VP should have an option for [famous] novices to trade in their fame points [maybe 300+] for a "free trial" sponsor account.[: Just an idea

  • You know, I actually agree with this. Maybe 1000 fame points per 30 day trial?

  • Fame points are far too easy to obtain. In less than two weeks I was able to rack up 3k points between just four junk dogs. Even if it was a rather high fame point amount, we'd have to start thinking -- is there a limit to how many "trials" one could get? And if so, what is that limit? Chances are that if a limit was imposed, many players would begin creating dozens of illegal accounts to reap the benefits. Why show dogs on one account when you can show them on twelve and get sponsors on all twelve? It's not a question of if that would happen either -- people abuse multiple accounts now just to get the starter 50k. <br><br>While I think sponsor trials might be nice, it's far too complicated and just too easily abused. It would be unfair to expect free sponsors, even trials, when the game owners have to spend countless hours and an unknown sum of money to maintain the site. I know other games have the resources to offer free trials/subscriptions for certain circumstances, but they also generally have a stable subscription base of thousands.

    <br><br><br>What if you used the same technology that shows you so and so has to many accounts? Like say bob got an account got enough fame point and got his free trial and Bobs computer/WiFi/ or what not number was 78323 then 78323 would be counted into the system as used up their free trial. Then when he made a new account it could say Error: you already got your free trial and are being banned for multiple accounts.

  • Upgrades and goodies are the only way the game makes money to pay the server bills to keep the game up and running. If people could "purchase" them with something that costs absolutely nothing, the game wouldn't support itself and would end up going offline.<br><br>To be honest, $16 isn't a lot of money compared to what other games cost. And there is always the option that if you don't wish to spend real money on an upgrade, you can earn game cash and purchase an upgrade from someone else. Something you can use to make game money is selling fame points to other players, so they can still be used towards an upgrade.<br><br>Virtual Pups doesn't offer free sponsor trials because unlike most games, you can play for free as long as you want. Players know and can find out how useful sponsors are without having to "try" them out. It's not like sponsors are some great mystery and you don't know until you get one if it's worthwhile or not.

    <br>That wouldn't work because somebody could get on somebody else's computer and do it.<br><br>It's a good idea but it doesn't really benefit the owners' of VP besides maybe making the player buy another one because they don't want to lose the benefits of being a sponsor xD<br><br>edit//<br>whoops did NOT realize last post was months ago sorry xD
