Hi, everyone, and thanks to those of you who've checked out the new platform and given us specific feedback in addition to your patience and support over the past decade.
hey as you all may notice, the herbicepscam site is updated, and it is improved. What do you think about it, and especially for the prices;;; I think the prices are a bit more up than they were in the past, so that means some less private chats than before.
Because of the asymmetry of the databases, the migration from old to new was not perfect. A few things went wrong and, while we wanted to give the models more flexibility with pricing - both higher and lower - we did not anticipate that the system would default to the highest options for so many of the models, nor did we anticipate that so many other models would opt for higher pricing right away. To be clear, not every model increased her prices manually. The system did this to some of their accounts without their knowledge. Some did raise theirs when they saw it was possible, some did not. This particular problem became a problem, because we changed the parameters and did not offer any instructional guidance when the changeover was announced. We sincerely apologize for how this made so many of you feel. This was an error on our part, but we listened to our customers and responded right away.
I can't find " My Favorites"
Everyone starts with a clean slate on Favorites.
It seems the standard minute rate is now 5 dollars, while it was 3.99 in the past. 25% increase...hmm....
See above. We made a mistake, the system made a mistake, and then some of the models made a mistake. We remedied this almost immediately and when I looked just now, of the 12 women logged on, none of them had a price above $3.90/minute (39 credits) and a few were as low as $3.00/minute (30 credits).
The point is to get you addicted, spending more money than you thought you were. I won't be joining the new site.
If what I heard was true about girls not being able to sit in empty premium/fantasy like before, I suspect many girls will get frustrated enough with the free banter to quit.
Of course they don't really care about their customers, they just care about money. Not too long ago you got a 15% bonus for spending $100 ($15). They said "oh hey guyz more bonus" get $30 on $250. I guess they expected people to be too stupid to notice that's only 12%, and their bonus on $100 was reduced to 10%. Plus they took years and years to update the platform.
Users are asked for 2nd-click confirmation on all purchases. We want everyone to enjoy the site, but do not want anyone spending more than they intend. If we did not care about customers, we would not do deposit bonuses, nor would we have insisted that models spend more time in free. I get that people are upset with some of the changes, but we're working to find the right balance that provides the greatest enjoyment to the widest cross-section.
yup very true, and as you alluded to many of these changes are probably not good for the girls either. I doubt they want all the email requests and such they will get through the messaging system offline and if they can't sit in prem chats they will be annoyed also
There have been a couple of glitches, but those who are choosing to use the HBCmail system have enjoyed it, so far. Its use is completely voluntary.
yeah, and maintaining a "fan club" page probably won't excite them. I don't know what's on it, but if it's like fan club pages on other cam sites, where they have to fill out questionnaires detailing their personality and kinks, upload extra fan club photos (which will undoubtedly get leaked here), have recorded performances available to view (and on those sites, I don't think the girls make any money for people watching recorded shows), and occasionally link them to even more intimate access via snapchat IDs or whatever, I can't imagine that being a good deal for the girls. one thing about the old site was a girl could just jump on once or twice a month, make some extra cash, and not get too involved with the dudes.
Every model has the option to use or not use it. The same goes for the users. We have no given anyone any expectations on the "Favorites" front. It's simply a way for users to demonstrate a little interest in the women they like and for models - if they so choose - to communicate information to their fans.
agreed clearly whoever in charge has no idea about normal implementation for upgrades and changes in software and similar products. The site was great because it was simple and to the point, connect viewers with girls to flex and pose for money on camera. we get our fan site and all the other stuff from others sites.
We got a bunch of things wrong, but also got some things right. The previously non-HD streams were the #1 complaint of all-time, so that had to be top priority in building the new platform, but we were not content to stop there. Yes, simplicity is great, but newer customers tend to want a different experience than customers did in 2006. So, we sought to give everyone more, while maintaining the basic functionality for those who merely wanted what they'd always enjoyed (with a few, notable exceptions, of course).
the biggest problem with the last site was the technology, the correct implementation would have been to updated the interface and back end then gradually add features if needed and wanted by customers.
oh well
as long as they get the tech running well site will do ok as u say as people are gonna be needing to spend on these ladies somehow
Although what you're saying about upgrading the previous interface is certainly intuitive and makes sense, it just wasn't that simple. Some of you have some knowledge about a little of what we've been through over the past 3-4 years, and I won't go into too much detail now about all that, but to make a long story short, we eventually had to make a wholesale change.
I am not a big fan of new site myself:
1. Harsh price up - if it is not back to what was before the change I am done. I give 0 fucks about happy hours etc (which is interesting btw. - happy hour can be set once per week - why?)
2. No PM in free chat - dont care how annoying it was for the ladies - she should be Pming people with money... Now no easy way to set up requests
I woulda just upgrade to HD and leave how it was before... Addtionally I fully agree with the sessions vs cams argument. If only I was living in UK, USA or so...Down with new HBC
Prices have returned to normal. Models are liking "Happy Hour" and a couple have asked for more than 1 hour/week. Regarding PMs, they're coming back to the Free Room for our VIPs (model still has option to use or not use).
