Hi, i`m very *****, bought "Eufrat - Red Splendor" today from the calendar. Normaly this girls costs me 1 ticket, but i clicked her and 2 tickets are away now for her show :-/

Can anyone tell me what`s on with this?

Thank u all

the new version is released stopping the calendar system. No 1 ticket card anymore except one special offer card that is the same for all users.

Totem have increased the cost of ALL full shows to 2 tickets, including the ones in your calendar. They never made this fact obvious to anybody.

thanks Starryk for your very quick answer ^^
for myself i`m very unlucky with this new conditions, would buy for the rest of my tickets espacially girls and did`nt refill my account. imho more members will do the same!

thank you all ^^

i also hope that Totem will recognize it on their sales numbers that this downgrade was a big error.
It's the best way to make a company realize that.

The financial aspect is 1 thing, but to implement an increase without any notification is another.
It shows complete contempt for members (paying customers).

Ahhh..People not getting the message...Maybe Totem needs to post it on single page somewhere? (Best-"Community")-Statement saying-"ALL CARD'S PRICE IS NOW 2 tix. EXCEPT FOR SPECIAL RANDOM OFFER CARDS AT 1 TIX. THAT WILL SHOW UP ON "COMMUNITY PAGE" ONLY!" Having info show up on community page and perhaps a sticky in forum directing people to it for info might help. Apparently not everyone reads the forum and there may be lots of folk out there who are getting this surprise of no more 1 tix calendar cards thrust upon them now. Having "random cards for 1 tix." showing up ONLY on "community" page will also have the effect of having more people reading/taking part in forum so info on changes etc. has more of a chance to get to everybody in a timely manner!

my top teeth on my teeth falls below ;-)

I was just going to load my account with 20 tickets a BAM!!!!! no more calendar. Well i think i will just be happy with the cards i have b/c after this i doubt i will be buying anymore cards. And for all the people who will say totem did say update will be released next why in the world would u release it on a thursday? I just got paid today and was going to clear my calendar thinking that everything would come on Friday like it has been for the last few months. Oh well i just guess i can finally finish my card collection since im not going to buy anymore cards for a while.

ça devient trop cher pour moi...filles en promo à 1 ticket..et maintenant...2 tickets le show..soit..2 coup de telephone pour avoir 2 tickets soit 4 euros le show.....trop de contraintes et trop cher pour nos petites bourses....
vu la crise actuelle c'est bien dommage mais bon à chacun son bisness...me faudra au moin 10 ans pour toutes les avoir.

Well, here's how it'll go. Either their revenues from ticket purchases will stay the same, they'll drop, or they'll go up. Predict what you want, but the cash flow is ultimately what makes the decisions, which means that it's in our hands.

For me, it's extremely unlikely that I will ever pay 2 tickets for one set anymore. I admit I have once or twice in the past (ahem, Suzie Q), but it'll be far less likely now.

Regardless, I think having an RSS feed specifically for the featured model would be a nice touch and help to keep users up to speed.

As Plasoinc posted, this was announced some time ago and I will add to it that it also stated "anyone wishing to take advantage of the old calendar system should do it now" That may not be the exact words but it is what was said.
If I understood the announcement correctly the special offer girl will change every day giving one the chance to buy 30 shows a month for 1 ticket each.
Prices go up on every thing and I have yet to see any gas station offer a special of 1 gallon for 1 dollar per day. I have not seen any offers like that anywhere on anything as a matter of fact. The special 1 ticket (dollar) shows are still here, you just have to look on the home page for them now. Difference being, you don't have very long to make up your mind to buy that show.

@TheGray
If I'm not mistaken it was only posted in the Platinum forum...

No, it wasn't. I remember I have red it somewhere and bought every single callendar card that was interesting for me, when relase date was announced.

This is a SNEAKY way to raise the price!

I have two tickets left, and my next targets are: Monica Scott (Young lady) and Marie (Entrance Exam). The "Special" card changed in the middle of the day today. How am I ever going to catch the Girls I'm looking for?

If I'm lucky enough to catch them on special, GREAT, but I'm definitely NOT buying any more tickets, until Totem comes up with a friendlier way to offer "Specials".

@CyberVixen
Ah, an even less visited topic ;)

Only the active beta testers read that one...

...BUT...
To be fair, Richard did post in the Platinum area over a month ago about this change and he did so to give the most loyal subscribing members a chance to take advantage of the system before this change.

@Muffdivr
It's not a way to raise the price... it's a way to change what cards that comes on sale!

The "standard" price is still 2 tickets ;)

i agree with @jununger the cost is 2 tickets, and totem give the change for several to get show before this change.

joke - but lol now I like to *****, is totem taught me this ;-)

@CyberVixen

Aw, don't be sad, lots of people read it and some even post in there that don't beta test, so nothing to be sad about.

Now it's simple we need more patience to buy a show, I do not know if totem will appreciate this.

but not forget this is because the last routine have bug, and totem must change this routine.

and now we accept or no to see the real price of one show. i know several user have buy a show 2 tickets and never *****. and sorry but 2 tickets a show is really not expensive, just look a movie and tri to buy a movie for 2 euro in one other producteur !!!!!!!

and again this annonce of change is made a very long time, only the question now is if we accept this or not. i not want see VGHD out, then if now a must pay a show 2 tickets !!!! then i made the effort to anderstand, that of course not remove a *****. we must see if VGHD stay or no, for me VGHD must stay !!!!!

The "loss" of the "many 1 tix/card per month" choice is an emotional one, having been in practice for so long & having many people basing their purchasing on it. Alas, it is now also a great economic issue for many, having budgeted only so much money for such indulgences in these harder times. Totem, of course, has to raise prices for a myriad of business reasons too.The 1 tix special works best only if you constantly haunt the site to monitor the changes of card, & HAVE A FAST CONNECTION (which most of you have). For me, ***** to be on dial up,(Phone co. announced today it's on verge of bankruptcy AND getting DSL service closer at same time!)that puts the getting of 1 tix specials just about out of the possible as downloads often take 24-36 hrs. to complete & I can't get cards in middle of download. I'm hoping that Totem keeps the booster pak program going.
Seems that would be good customer relations.
Not buying more tix? Seems like we don't want to bite the hand that gives us babes

I agree, it's a very sneaky way of raising prices! I have 31 tickets, and I want a refund for those!

I'm not sure what i do about buying tickets.
Since i was already willing to pay 2 tickets for new shows i will probably still buy tickets.
But i understand all that don't want that and maybe Totem comes to its senses when their profit goes down.
It's the only way a customer has left if a company does not seem to care about him.
And i understand everyone who has exactly that feeling.

Ah, I knew it was there it was just a matter of finding it. Posted April 20th, 09, by TotemRex for ALL to see that are not freeloaders in the "Ideas" forum: I did take the liberty of stickying the topic too.

I think the new system is nice. My problem was getting a calender full of girls I didn't want and then having to wait as the new ones dribbled in every day to see if there was one I would like to buy. Now I can check every so often and possibly get more than one girl at the discounted price everyday. I don't have time to just sit on the net and wait for them but if I look at the number remaining I can kind of judge how long it will be before a new card is presented. remaining number divided by popularity equals approximate wait

Wow, great marketing Totem. First, only release 3 cards a week and provide a credit of 1 ticket. Then start charging two tickets per card. So a user with 493 cards and lots of credits and has spent over $300 on Virtuagirl products gets ripped off. That would be a sure guarantee for customers not to renew their memberships.

What a nice surprise to find out that all girls are now two tickets.

I feel the same as I did when my credit card company changed my rate from fixed to variable even though I have had the card for 9 years without a single late payment.

I canceled that card.

This new version makes me think twice about a future purchase. I'll use my two last tickets and be done with this program. I'm sure there is a viable competitor out there.
