Love Zhaoying Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The price could always go back up once they have enough users to recommend “these mesh bodies”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if one day they pull the plug from servers they own, all TMP items will be broken and unusable.

Claireschen Hesten Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I feel sorry for all the people that paid the full L$5k the body's not worth it let alone L$500 it's a lot to invest in a body that will be rendered useless the day the servers get pulled i only dipped my toe in as far as the free body for me and an alt and didn't like anything about it enough to make me part with any money 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase01 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Even during the height of their popularity, there were rumors floating around about the owner's questionable business practices in prior ventures. Sometime in 2015 they discounted their apparel, accessories and shoes by 50% and that only seemingly generated mild interest for a short period of time. I feel the most sorry for those that bought in (at any price point) not knowing that they would someday loose control of their body and head. Many of the people I've interacted with in world about the product over the last several years had no clue about this. The product has been labeled BETA since it was first released. Considering that its now been out for nearly 5 years says enough. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly obvious why: at the time it was released the TMP male body was the only male mesh body on the market. There was no competition, and none on the horizon either until Slink finally came along over a year later. The TMP creators - knowing that men would be wanting a mesh body - clearly decided to charge a higher price as a result, so male avatars had to fork out for the deluxe body just to get the alpha HUD (which, let's face it, is an absolute necessity because very little mesh clothing fits absolutely perfectly). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanity Fair Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) The current TMP pricing model is good ONLY for those people who had already gotten the free male (or female) TMP mesh body, and now can pick up all the TMP clothing from their Boutique for free. All this clothing fits the free TMP mesh body perfectly without the need for alphas. There's not a lot of male clothing, but there's a fair bit of female clothing and it's available in a wide variety of colours and there is some nice texturing on it. So if you did pick up the free body before they discontinued it, you can now stop by and pick up all the free clothes. And I agree with the person above who said this was a desperate, last-minute cash grab by TMP. Expect them to pull the plug at any point, which probably means that you will not be able to retexture your clothing using the required StyleMode HUD (even if you bought all the different colours of a particular item before they launched this sale). I am hoping that my newly-obtained free TMP clothing will still work (but I will be unable to change its colour) when/if TMP shuts down completely.

Callum Meriman Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Despite being a server-based pile of do-do.... the TMP is one of the few bodies that isn't unrealistically like a body builder. Hate on it all you like, but the other choices make your biceps look like balloons. (I have TMP, Slink, Signature Gianni, Belleza Jake and many more bodies - and I am distressed the roid-bodies are winning this fight) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Voxel Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I dunno, I feel like as a female shopper even at 500L the high likelihood of it not working in a couple months, the lack of many if any new clothes completely negates the new low, low price. I realize men don’t have as many choices. But I feel like Slink and Belleza do an excellent job providing for the “non muscle block” segment of SL. There are enough men’s stores and fairs now that current clothing shouldn’t be an issue. ....and supporting shady business practices because it’s cheap? I won’t even get into that.

MaggiJin Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I took them up on this offer and got it just to see. pre textured all the clothes and such. the clothing choices are abysmal as most are just the same top with different patterns and even then theres a lack of style variety. at least they fit? i mean, its more then i can say for most "tmp size!" clothes found on the market. i don't think it was worth 500l though seeing as the clothing choices are small and the hud system is a MESS. I also can't even correctly bring across how annoying their "the shops!" system is. heres an avatar with also a tmp head (wich is static. no bento.) 3rd party skin because the included skins where just bad.

Skell Dagger Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Interesting sidenote: they've removed the free bodies. They clearly don't want people picking up a free mesh body and getting all the free clothing for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they discontinued the free TMP mesh bodies when they launched their L$500 "deal" with all the free clothing. The only reason I can think of as to why they would do this, is because NOBODY was buying anything. Their top-of-the-line mesh avatar body was L$5,000 which was outrageous compared to Maitreya, SLink and Belleza that had much, MUCH better designer support. I feel sorry for anyone who bought the body at that price, and paid for all the clothing, only to see this drastic markdown.Their shopping HUD experience is horrible! I only bothered because one of my alts picked up the free TMP body when it was still available and all the free clothing was a good deal.

When they started this 'free clothing' thing, I really tried to get my alt some clothes, but I think I only managed 3 or 4 items before that dreadful shopping experience sent me running away. 42 minutes ago, Love Zhaoying said: I’ve never used a shopping hud, are they common? Not common. The TMP stuff requires a shopping HUD in order to buy anything at their store. It is the worst shopping experience ever. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
