like to know just what is going on with Classic, from management. The mail don't want properly, 2 factor ID not working correctly, Sign in denying correct passwords, Music store not working in months but still taking money. It looks like the site is struggling to stay alive on life support. Question is: Are we in the count down to shut down classic or is IMVU about to pull the plug completely? Myself and others don't want a corporate scripted jibber jabber answer. We want the facts about these issues and considering what the consumer has been putting up with the answers need to come from the Top.

I already concluded that IMVU was dying over 10 years ago, but lately they stopped my VIP-ness and most of my 11 rooms and I can't get any contact with them. I wrote them this: I'm trying to get my rooms back from when I was a VIP. I never cancelled my VIP-ness and was very happy with it. Lately I tried to become a vip again, but that was on the mobile app I guess and it didn't stick. When I try to look at anything on the site, like https://www.imvu.com/next/settings/subscriptions/ I get a forever blinking dot! Please help me!

@ All Posters: I'm just seeing the info about Classic may go away in Oct of 2025. Should that happen I will go away as well. When I joined a couple years back I downloaded the newer version of the game. I hated it and told the staff in support that game was not ready for release to the public. I hated the beta so much I told staff and my friends goodbye. It was my friends that reached out to get me onto classic which i like very much. However, I do have some Issues with this game. The sex is for virgins and not worth the price we pay not to able to see everything in full bloom and making real contact in the right position. Next is when a creator copies a design I don't like they copy the garment or object in same size and keep the same flaws. FGS change something to make it your own. Lastly I don't like they allow unlimited accounts. This encourages the demented mind of the stalker to keep bothering trying their best to get close to you with endless request to be your friend. Make the block button work for any account they may create. Bottom line here is the consumer has the power. They need our money to to live and pay their bills. So they need to keep us happy and spending. We don't need to spend a dime on this or any other site to live our real life. We landed here, we can and many have landed someplace else.

I did see post by Creator Staff/IMVU couple years ago stating IMVU Classic wont be supported when Windows stops supporting Windows 10 and will be phased out replaced by Desktop - So there is no conspiracy that other IMVU members are posting rumors just to be brats -
This is currently on the internet ---->Yes, there are indicators that the
IMVU Classic Client is being phased out and may be fully transitioned away from by October 2025.
I'm only posting this in case there are Creators that do not want to transition to Studio/Desktop if in fact Client Version will not be available for creating -

why are they bothering to release new versions of Classic client when with each new release there is more and more that is broken and more features that do not work in communicating between Next/Desktop and Classic and they are not being addressed ... now if there are users on Desktop or Next that gift me I am getting blank messages in inbox on the Classic client. There is no sense reporting these issues to their so-called Support Desk either -- they have teenagers who are given scripts who do not have any skill or training in troubleshooting at all and they do not escalate your ticket to anyone who can actually resolve issues -- sadly it's all a joke and a waste of time.

Someone mentioned hearing about this 2 years ago. I did as well. I have mentioned it to everyone who will listen but "old timers" dont' seem to want to believe this would ever happen. It became obvious with the release of IMVU Desktop which, in reality, is just as horrible as trying to use mobile which is a total joke unless you are between 13 and 18. As has been mentioned, those of us who have spent into the thousands of dollars over the past 15 years, there is no recourse unless, as someone suggested, we file a class action suit. That may or may not work. I'm willing to entertain any and all suggestions.

Paying long time customers (we are talking 15 years +) of Classic client are losing functionality and access to products they have payed for - and you are blocking this access so you can release these features as subscriptions in the Desktop/Mobile platforms. IMVU admin have shutdown access to Flash Radios for music, access to music and even making it next to impossible to have over 10 people in a public room - because our DJing and other music streaming festivities that we make use of in IMVU you see as a cash cow and are trying to monopolize on for profit - unbelievable. You are catering to a teenage crowd on their mobile phones and meanwhile robbing functionality and support (if I dare say it even exists here) from your long time loyal client base of adult users that are the ones who have invested the $$$ and made IMVU what it is. This platform is grossly mismanaged and likely will fast be losing any market share if this keeps up.

So now on top of them taking away all of our music for good...now they ate shutting their phones down on top of it all..and did it really sneaky and undercover so the very least amount of people would find out and know about it so they wouldnt have to take any complaints or heat about it from us...just like how they didnt tell us about the music either...so now we wont be able to get a live person to talk to on the phone anymore..I had to find out myself from a rumour going around from one of my friends and I called IMVU myself and she put on an act like she didnt know the phones were being shut down June 1st...she told me to hold so could "verify" that it was true..in reality she went and asked her manager if it was now alright to tell the customers this news,,,she slipped up and told me that her manager granted her permission to tell me..3 days before they are being closed down !!!! She knew they were going to be disconnected and they were told not to inform us...Unbelievable !!! We will have to now rely on the live chat which none of them ever know anything and never have any answers or solve anything on it....for hacking issues,losing account issues and billing and credit card issues as well..can you imagine??? Soon they will shut even that down and will only be reached by email..No music, no customer support, website glitches all over the place..and they are phasing out the classic client for good soon,,which is the only reason most of us even stay on this mess of a website for...When the classic client goes, that will be the death blow for IMVU..its almost over now...Still now word on what they are doing with all the music we had taken from us that we paid for...thats being covered up as well and they keep acting like they dont know anything yet...

I think it is time for another lawsuit , like the one the devs had back in the day, and the one that happened about 10yrs ago when they took away almost all of the music without reimbursing anyone. Only a handful of people got reimbursed in the thousands of dollars. It was not fair then, and it is not fair now. This is consumer fraud at it's highest. Time for legal action. As for the teens on here? Well it is not the teens that are paying anything for this site to operate. It is the adults. The people that are working. Time for another class action lawsuit in my opinion.
