Ever feel like 3 layers just isn't enough? Do you have the urge to layer as many translucent leggings as possible? Well, the <a href=/cashshop.php?act=items>Cash Shop</a> has a new item in stock for 100CSC!
Ooh La Layers will allow you to increase any layer by 1 spot, for a maximum of 3 slots per layer. For example, you can add <i>3</i> additional background slots, for a total of 6 if you have a GA.
The slots created with Ooh La Layers expire after 31 days.
Eh. This kind of disappointments me. The site is becoming way too commercial, and these expiring items are really pushing the limit. Yes, putting the GA into consideration this is cheaper, more ideal for avid HA makers and like the GA it expires. But if you really look into it for this you get 1 extra layer, not to mention on only one area for a dollar, for a month. A 1 month gold account adds a layer to all of the areas for 5 dollars (that's the equivalent of 24$ worth of ooh la layers), and has 9 extra features. So 1 feature for a dollar each, or 10 for 5. Getting what I'm saying at how this is a bit unreasonable? Don't get me wrong I understand that this site is a business. But it doesn't seem like this is going to be a big hit at the way it's going now. Either lowering the price, making it available for all layers, or making it permanent would have made this more successful in my mind. It might attract a few hardcore HA lovers for a while but the masses aren't going to buy into this.
Just keep in mind that many of us migrated from Neopets before it went commercial and changed the site completley, and marketed it to a young audience, and hence quit. Also not all of us are of age to have a credit card and be able to buy these things, so you might be loosing a some of the younger audience. I also don't want to see it going the way Gaia did with multiple expiring items (by the way I quit both of the mentioned sites). Although I'm glad to see we're out of the cash shop selling craze that we had a few months ago (where all of the normal items consisted of a couple of plain shoes), it still seems to be going in the same direction. This has dissuaded me I generally don't come on as often any more.
Look. All I'm trying to do is keep it in perspective. Yes, the economy is bad right now but the way that business tactics are being tackled aren't going well.
