ePlay keeps working on new features, and though this one isn’t huge it shows that at least they are continually working to improve what they provide. This week a tweak to the PM system has been rolled out, offering users a more streamlined interface and removing some of the things that confused people before.

They call this “Private Messaging v2.5”, so not entirely new, but a development.

Listening to feedback and making changes based on how real customers use the system is vital, just a few weeks ago we saw Flirt4Free roll back a change to text chat whispers when it didn’t work for viewers the way they wanted it. Over at ePlay the change they have made is to drop the “message currency” system. I have to admit I never could understand it, so it is a relief to see that it is now gone and they claim that the new token-based system is super easy to use.

Fans can now start a PM conversations with just one click or tap.

A key motivation in this update is letting camgirls set their own prices depending on what they are trying to achieve. Some girls like to keep things open and casual and let anybody PM them, at least out of shift hours, as this helps to build up relationships. It is good for doing AMA or Q&A sessions as well.

It can get overwhelming though and that is why PM-for-a-price is a thing, and even where technically it isn’t implemented (looking at you CB), I am one of the many girls who have PM on my tip menu. If you want to talk one-on-one, then that takes my attention away from the room. And so you have to pay to get my attention in a PM chat.

At ePlay a model can set videos and pics in a PM to be paid. This is basically the same as in Stripchat, LoverFans or indeed many fan content sites. Having a mini-paywall feature lets you set custom token prices for those special pics and vids that you want to treat your fans with.

Models get to monetize their time, effort, tits and ass, and viewers get to pay a bit at a time for the content they want. It is as win-win as you are going to get in a capitalistic marketplace!

For ePlay camgirls you also get to update your messaging prices at any time, offering free or paywalled text options to fit your what sort of stuff you are offering. Whether you’re making adjustments in your channel settings or through your dashboard, it is all adjustable at any time.

Are you a ePlay camgirl? Then check out the channel or dashboard settings and set up your PM prices and start showing your viewers that you mean business.

PM settings are under account / channel /private messaging.

And also look under my Eplay Admin / dashboard / game setup / private messaging.

What are your thoughts on the new ePlay Private Messaging v2.5? Are you excited to offer more personalized content to your fans or curious to see how this changes the interaction dynamics?

Or are you a viewer, and how do you find this? On the one hand is it good to be able to know that we are getting paid for our time and material in little increments, or do you find this is getting too expensive?
