ClubReporter?

So I was flitting through the clubs today and I came across a curious topic in the Michael Jackson tribute club....


Hide yo' kids, hide yo' wives 'cause ClubReporter's gunna get you.

Oh please, the best part of this was some of the members of MJC actually believe this obvious fake.
For one thing, she doesn't have the button showing she's staff, but there again neither does ClubCreator...

Here's the second topic of her's in MJC club:-
I'm sorry, but these are just so obviously fake...

Just to put the MJC'ers minds at rest, I asked Lisa(manager of SDR) if she had heard anything about this account and here's her reply:-

Angel_of_HIM: Stardoll staff wouldn't make an account up just so it reports clubs. ^^ and they wouldn't call it like that either don't worry.

I knew it was a fake anyway, I'm not an idiot.
So calm yourselves guys! It's a silly "troll"




The Starblog(Special Feature)


 The Starblog, a place in which dollies can find out what the new hotbuys are going to be, new features, stuff about celebrities and a couple of other fashion related sections.
 To get a place on the team you have to write an application and wait for Stardoll Staff to get back to you saying whether or not you have actually been accepted.


 For a while, the Starblog was interesting enough, but now...it seems as if the standards of the posts are falling. People are losing interest, the posts are getting too similar and there's not enough variety, only one or two are really standing out for most. From asking around, it seems as if the members are getting sick of the Posh24 posts.


 A couple of months back, there was the Starblog acceptance letter catastrophe, where all the members who had applied that week received FALSE letters confirming their acceptance, when they hadn't really gotten in. I was one of the people who was knocked over by this despicable error on Stardoll's behalf. I know I'm not the only one who can say they were greatly let down by this.      It's made me question my writing skills, as silly as it may sound to you...but after 16 disapprovals and one fake one, it really does make you wonder...especially when you see the quality of the more recently accepted Starblogger's posts.

 I have no intention of blogging about stupid fashion tips, nor do I have the intention of using the blog for the limelight or bring the eyes of my fellow members on my stardollie friends.
 I wish to use the blog as a way to reach out to members suffering from bullying. I want them to know that there is someone who cares out there as those of you who know me well would know how much strongly I feel about this important topic. I'd even vary it now and again to post stories and poetry, but no, Stardoll won't give me the chance.
 Is it really the only way you can now be on SB ...if you strictly post about medoll and make-up rubbish?


I asked Stardoll Royalty this question: "Is the quality of the Starblog falling some-what?" and this is what they have replied with:-




Yes.
It's just children making the most pointless posts which no one cares about.
Also, the makeover posts aren't even good...  
-thedresdendoll


It's mostly all about makeup or other stuff no one cares about. 
I don't think anyone has posted anything decent for a while. :/
-PinkHarpermay7


Martha you've already applied for starblog right? You'd be the only person posting something that's actually worth reading like about your no bullying campaign. I don't get how stardoll chooses people who'd post boring stuff like this over people who post things that are actually important to the world -.-  
-sama.09

I hate the Starblog. End of.
The makeover posts aren't very good, at least do something unique. /: Most of them are boring and mediocre. 
I don't understand why Stardoll chooses to accept those kinds of writers (heck, I wouldn't even call them writers) instead of people like you, Martha. I would actually read your posts.




Like EVERYTHING there is some boring post about makeup, makeovers, and talking about 'Trends' I would actually read it if people added things like poems, short stories, and just more original ideas 
-Lacie_Valentine


Yes, I just don't find them intresting anymore :/ 
I wish they would do something new, like the history of rare clothes! I would read /that/ ;) 
-snowflakelove12


As a whole, the Starblog seems boring and unoriginal to me. Many are the same. Simple outfits with very little imagination, friends of the bloggers featured, celebrities, old make-up tips. I'd love to see something new. 
-Serendibite 


I don't think so. Some of the writers are very good, but some posts do lack originality.
It would be nice to see some more variety.
I don't think the quality is falling though.  
-Jessicattie


The Starblog reminds me just of a fashion and makeup magazine. Not all girls like fashion and makeup! The only Starblogger who I actually really like is the one who blogs about India, cause its at least a bit original. 
-Real.StarGirl




( Aw, Roxie and Sama <3  )
So there we have it.
You've heard our opinions, now I'd love to hear yours!
Post a comment below sharing your view v

New Kitsch! (New Floor&Decor/Review)

New Kitsch interior out today
Can't say I'm that fond of it, a little too pinky/purple and abstract for my tastes.


Decent graphics, boring colours, cheap prices, abstract and odd items...
The dog with the tie has got to be my favourite piece from this new collection, it's just so mental!

OC, what are your opinions?


I hate Kitsch, it's ugly
-Popstar1004 

Oh dear, I didn't get as much feedback as I would have liked from OC, maybe I'll boost my topic later and add some more.

Opinions of your own?!
You know the score~
Post a comment below v

Gift-O-Meter is back!


Ah yes, the Gift-O-Meter.
A sign of the next LE collection on it's way.



The maximum you have to pay to get all of the gifts is 450 stardollars and 700 starcoins.





Hm...I wonder what the next LE collection will be like, but I'm kinda feeling as if Stardoll is bleeding us dry of stardollars, there's been so many new collections out recently including a new Antidote that I think everyone is a bit out of pocket.
 Let's just hope this new LE will be a nicer collection than the past few.

Ice Age Party Interior! (New/Review)

I love this new party interior, it's really nice.
Ice Age is something I've grown up with and it's lovely to see it on Stardoll.
You can also get a Scrat for your suite if you watch that The Wanted music video.

Opinions?
Leave a comment of your own below.

Quiz! (New/Review)

 A new feature has come to Parties(I refuse to call them by their new name) and quite frankly I find it a waste of time on Stardoll's part.
 When you enter/create a party you can click on a new button labled "Games" and it comes up with another option which when you click brings you to another room which looks like this:-


The aim of the game is to fill all the stars up on the little bar thing besides your doll and be the first to do so, then you become the winner.
 You don't get anything for winning, it's just for fun.
I love the room they made for it, it's pretty, but as a person who has gone from using the Party feature daily to once a month, I'm not really fussed over it.

Any opinions on this new feature?

30% Off Luxury Suites



Hmm...I wonder why this sudden sale.
I don't personally need to take advantage of this offer because I already have all three, I had the Alpine Chalet as soon as it came out.

Here's a theory from SDR:-


moonlight_22 said:
Foxy_Roxie said:
The Alpine Chalet, Beach Villa, &amp; Penthouse are all on sale until July 2nd... 30 percent off I think it is?
Anyways, maybe this means a new Luxury Suite could be coming soon... o:


Maybe thats the 3rd thing they have been waiting to release..


I'm sure it is that 3rd feature
-Hello_Kitty1379 

Hm...it would be a nice surpise to have a new one as the third and final update.
I wonder what it would be...a Country Cottage?
A Manor perhaps?
Straying slightly from this...
A great one for a Halloween release would be a Haunted House *_*


What do you think?

Jean Paul Gaultier Tribute! (New Store/Review/Glitch)



Another new collection came out today, consisting of two floors.
There was a lot of hype on the build up to this collection, personally, I don't see why.
It's very "rock 'n' roll-y" which some nice pieces, but in all honesty I think the last collection(Nicholas Kirkwood) beats it by a long shot.
Decent graphics, nice colours, vulgar  shoes and very expensive.
One item, however I think we can all agree we can afford:-

Ah yes, the very ironic named "Banana Glitch 'Disgusting' Wedges" which can be yours for 12starCOINS.
Even at that price, I don't believe I will be getting them...they're just plain YUCK!

Stardoll Royalty, what are you views on this new Tribute store?


Surprised at the lack of corsets, he uses them a lot
-topgearnut 

It's... eh. I didn't think it was as good compared to the other tributes.
The graphics weren't all that great either.
Also, I wish that wig was available as an actual beauty parlor wig. :c
Overall, I'm very disappointed. I had expected much more.
-Foxy_Roxie

There were a couple of nice pieces, but nothing stood out to me as amazing. I only liked about 5 items, but nothing I fell in love with. I'm quite disappointed in the last few collections stardoll have released, to be honest.
-pinkypops


What I ending up wasting 35 stardollars on:-
Yes, I said WASTED ...I'm actually kicking myself now :/ I don't like that blouse anymore.
I wish we could return the items like in real life.....

Say Hello To The Addition To The SDWMM Team!


SDWMM introduced a new author this week, my good friend, Carys(snowflakelove12)
Carys will be bringing you tips, gossip and anything else related to Sceneries as that happens to be a field she has much experience in while I-on the other hand-am pretty much a newb when it comes down to poses and such. I may have been around Stardoll/Paperdoll Heaven an awful long time(8 years), but Sceneries are something that I haven't really started using up until last year.

The following are a couple of examples of her work:-




For more of her sceneries go here:- http://imgur.com/a/E3YaM#13
(Yes, she loves Harry Potter [; )

Her own blog:- http://keep-calm-and-go-on-stardoll.blogspot.co.uk/

Okay so that's about it for this post.
A very warm welcome to Carys and I look forward to seeing your posts!

Antidote now out! Get yours before they all sell out! (New Collection/Review)

Good graphics, nice summery colours, lovely shoes and interesting patterns.
The new Antidote is out!

Fun fact:- This entire collection costs well over 5700 stardollars.

Yes, I'm a tad late posting this but I had to go somewhere and my laptop overheated. xD
So today we saw the new addition of four floors to Antidote and less than an hour of it being out, we already have seen one item sell out(The Pink Water Dress, sorry folks if you didn't get it).
 Before I give you my opinion, let's see the floors.






 I'm inlove with the backgrounds of all four floors, they're amazing, don't you agree?

I ended up buying 12 items and spending well over 500 stardollars, but it's Antidote, what could one expect?
Here's what I got:-

I loveeeeeee that jacket, it has to be my favourite item out of this collection of over 100, I'm kinda kicking myself about not buying the Water dress now, it seems like it's going to become quite a rare item, selling out THAT fast.

I asked the SDR'ers and OC'ers what their opinions on this new collection were, here's just a few of them(THANKS GUYS!):-


I purchased the Pink Water Dress and the Black Desert Top. As a whole, I found the collection entirely too gaudy and over-priced, but the latter isn't exactly new for Antidote. :L I only really liked the Black Desert Top, the Pink Water Dress looked like it would be popular so I bought it to re-sell at a later date.
-Serendibite 

Bought much, gonna to regret it later ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Some items are cute...
-Mini-Ph

sugar_girl23 said:
Well, I bought some, although I don't really like Antidote. Anyway, I don&#39;t get why that Pink dress sold out sooo quickly, since in opinion - it&#39;s nothing special
 -Amie.LaRoux
(I agree)

 Eeek! I love it! I just wish it came at a time where I had more stardollars. So I'm not able to get this one dress I want. Oh well. At least I got some stuff.
EDIT: I bought the blue earrings, the smiley face thing, the hibacus belt, and this bag I forgot the name of.
EDIT 2: Okay foudn the real names lol: Azure Earrings, Jemima Purse, Black Desert Top, Hibicus patterned belt, Colorful plastic heels in pink, and Smiley Face Top
-MeganROX155


I'm in love. *_* With virtual clothing.
Most of this collection, I didn't like.
But I found about 10 pieces that I completely ADORE!
And I'm already wearing them. Even though they don't 100% match. :3
-LoveNathasha

 I just spent 800SD on ugly clothes. Fack
-pooch300  

 There are several very nice pieces in the collection. - for the first time.
Besides the very first collection I hated Antidote clothes.
-dieBrInI06

There were only a few pieces I really liked. Especially the black bustier and the purple gold heels. I also bought some other items I'm going to re-sell in the future.
I'm still wondering why that pink dress sold out so soon! I'm guessing it's a glitch, or it'll become quite a rare dress.
-Kylie_Angel


I really liked most of the items, though I only had 200sd to spend, so I chose to only buy things I really loved!
A good collection, though a little overpriced. :]
-snowflakelove12

Some people hate it, some love. Just like Marmite~
Usual feedback for Antidote.

Update:- 5 items are now sold out~

Waiting for Antidote!

 The new Antidote collection is supposed to come out sometime today and if not, tomorrow for deffo~
Looking at the spoilers, it seems to be some sort of "War of the Worlds" Las Vegas theme with some very interesting peices.
 Here's a little teaser of what's to come:-




What do you think of this Antidote collection?
Will you be getting anything?
Looking forward?
Let me know via your commenst!

UPDATE:- USD finally put up the full list
For a all the spoilers go here:- http://underneathstardoll.blogspot.com/2012/06/spoilers-antidote.html
 Ready your mouses girls, because I just heard in SDR that someone saw an advert but the store hasn't changed yet!
IT'S COMING!!!!
 Some theory that it will appear once we can get earn our starcoins once again, so by my watch that's less than half an hour away!

Trying to win (N)CG just got a whole lot harder



With broadcast only showing member achievements and nothing else broadcasting wise going through...I don't see how broadcasting is going to be much help in getting you these titles.
In other words, it's now a complete and utter waste of five stardollars.
;/

UPDATE:- I've now heard of tales of people waiting at LEAST five hours for their advert to show up.

thedresdendoll said:
I was wrong... It&amp;#39;s been 7 hours and my broadcast still hasn&amp;#39;t shown! Ridiculous!


this entire awards thing is ridiculous, never mind just the fact that they get broadcast too! Next thing we&#39;ll be paying 10SD for &#34;fast-track&#34; broadcasting

What happened to Stardoll? It used to be fun, and all about the fashion. Not anymore
 -MadHatterAlice2


Kylie_Angel said:
It is unfair. I only see people with the &#34;jetsetter&#34; and &#34;girls girls girls&#34; achievement, but they&#39;re not particularly hard to get. I don&#39;t see why they should be featured by broadcast. Most of these people are unknown to us.

The broadcast function should stay available and clear for the ones that actually pay for it.

Achievements (New Feature/Review)



Okay so I logged in this morning and to my horror got attacked by blue boxes!
Then I found a new down button beneath my suite and above my presentation which brought me to a table:- 




At first, I didn't know what the hell this madness was until I spoke to my friend, tokyocartoons and had a quick glance at USD.


Achievements are tasks that can be completed to win awards and gain point. Each one you do, you  receive an award that can be displayed on your achievement shelf under your suite.
 Earning achievements will give you Starpoints which will help you level up faster and will unlock new items as well as functions on the website. There are 6 categories: Core, Design, Sell, Social, Collect and Competitions.
Core - achieved by completing various introductory and fundamental challenges on Stardoll.
Collect - achieved by ownership of a certain number of items at one specific moment, the member will keep his/her awards even if he/she will sell anything after reaching the limit.
Competitions - achieved by winning Stardoll’s global competitions where all members have had a chance to win.
Sell - achieved by selling items in StarBazaar, both own designs and items bought in shop including the gift shop.
Social - achieved by activity in community features such as number of members in the user’s own club, certain number of friends. Some social achievements are unavailable for Kidsafe members.
Design - achieved by designing and buying items from in the 4 StarDesign Studios. (StarDesign Fashion, StarDesign Interior, StarDesign Jewelry, StarDesign Hair)
You can put a maximum of 15 awards on the top shelf. 


I just did a quick save around and this is a couple of examples of what happens when you achieve a certain award:-


Hm..interesting at least now we know what that mysterious letter we all received the other day was going on about and that "new quicker way to level up"
Personally, I'm not too over-keen on this feature. I feel as if Stardoll if pushing us more and more into competing against one another if it's not for CG, NCG, Scenery, Starmovie, Album or Stardesign it's for higher levels or now the most trophies, that's not what Stardoll was originally about at all.

Flicking around the clubs, these are just a few opinions:-

I quite like it, since I'm in such a hurry to get the 4000sp hair! :3 This made it /much/ easier for me! I do think the little "chime" sound it does after you get a reward, is quite annoying.. and loud. But, nothing can be perfect!

I like it. I just leveled up to Level 39 and I only need 50 more sp to level 40. So its heaps more easier. And I NEED that 4000 sp hair.

I just went to my suite & saw this whole new 'awards' thing.
Apparently this is the new way to level up that stardoll has been talking about. I like it, but I wish we could get more points. only 25 for winning cg? C'mon. We should get 200 for that, seriously.

I reached the next level faster but I don't know, I don't like this new feature.  

nelly000esparis said:
misscaoimhegirl said:
Like: Being able to level up faster
No Likey: NO TROPHIES!!

You will STILL get the real awards, if you win something like ncg, cg, catwalk. its just you will also unlock that little trophy and you will get 25 starpoints for that!


Ah, I was getting worried about that. A "real" trophy to place in your suite is always better than some picture of an achievement.
-Kylie_Angel 


Mixed opinions, it seems.
What's yours?
Have your say via the comments below~

So this is major update 2 out of 3...

Amazing Person

TiaraPanda(otherwise known as Lola) is a very good friend of mine and an amazing, kind-hearted, sweet, awesome, funny, mature person who owns three very successful Roleplay clubs,  manages my own club "SilentTears-OFF" and I consider her a very vaild member of our team.
 She's always there with an ear when someone is down, willing to help or share inspiritaional quotes that manages to always make another smile.
Here's a couple of examples of her posts from "SilentTears-OFF" and after reading just one of them you will see exactly what I mean:-




Doesn't that make you smile? Even just a little?

Reccently she's been having a bit of bad luck health wise, so I think it would be nice if you could pop over to her suite and post a kind, encouraging Guestbook message of your own? and maybe even vote her because she really is a one in a million.

Thank-you for reading


UPDATE(25/06/2012):- Lola is now back to her normal awesome self and home, thank-you all who paid her a visit and left a kind message.

Club topics...vanished?

Has this happened to anyone else?
Yes, it has happened to everyone.
 Vanished? No, your topics were deleted as a part of Stardoll's silly idea of "keeping fresh"
 Yes, yes I know, it's infuriating that they did it and I felt it was a silly thing to do without consulting it's members about such things first, but, I can also see why they did it.
 Maybe these topics were clogging up their system too much?  I don't know...
I feel as if Stardoll didn't consider all the cons of the mass deletion at all, I mean just because a topic hasn't had a reply in a while doesn't mean it's ready for the scrap yard and is no longer needed.

 I directed this question to the SDR'ers:- "Your opinions on club topic removal?"
The following is a selection of replies:-

I feel like some of my hardwork is gone now through my clubs. Like I had a club where I'd write songs, all gone now. I was devastated. Also, in my fan club, all my hot spot topics were gone and everything else! It wasd horrible! In SDR, I was looking for a topic so me and Elise could plan more stuff. Gone. I hate this. Stardoll is not doing much good lately.
-MeganROX155


I don't like it It's discouraging because some topics you spend lots of time making are all gone and have to be remade!
-GinnervaPotter7

I don't like it. They're deleting history. (x3)
-louh53

It's terrible. All the hard work that I did to make these topics are all gone. Stardoll is becoming a bit messed up. I have smaller clubs that are not as active, and now all the stories, and role playing topics I've made are all gone. Now, I might start saving my stories on my computer. Stardoll is burning. Seriously. What happened to the old simplicity that made Stardoll popular in the first place (also referring to the star-point crisis)?
-DonutBabbleKat


They should have at least warned us before doing so!

There a lot of users which have written complete - yes complete - stories in clubs. Some of these might not seem very impressive, others are amazing. In any case, those stories were of emotional value for the writers themselves, and throwing them away like garbage is just bad.
Those writers should have at least been given a chance to copy the stories and save them on their computers.
-Kylie_Angel 

 Kylie has an excellent point there.

Oh dear, it seems as no one is fighting your corner on this one, Stardoll.

Starlevels: When you reach the next level...



Now when you actually reach your next level, a window pops up (like the one above) telling you what you've unlocked exactly along with 3starcoins.
 I suppose this is pretty nice and at least you're aware that you've reached the next level and unlocked something new.
 Am I the only one who thinks that, that girl kinda looks like a Joker/Zombified version of Paris Hilton?
 Esh, creepy and obviously not as awesome as the Joker [;

Nicholas Kirkwood Tribute (New Store/Review)


New store came out today with two floors




 Pretty nice, good graphics, very summery, nice collection of cheerful colours and most of all:- decent prices  However, if you're looking to get a few pieces, you better make sure you have at least 50 stardollars spare.
 I'm not too over-keen on the clothes but I adore a majority of the shoes, I especially love the shoe candle thing! It looks amazing the thing I don't like about it? The price.
Dearie me, 30 stardollars? No thank-you.

I asked clubs "Stardoll Royalty" and "Tokio Hotel"(where the OC'ers are staying) what their opinions on this new collect were:-

I don't like bright colors, but some of the items are nice, and cheap compared to the other tribute stores.
-AC-Viper  (TH/OC)

I really like these special and extravagant shoes and the colours in general.
The clothes are nothing really special but they are ok.
-Mary271 (SDR)


It looks pretty tacky, I only like those yellow biker jacket. (:
The prices are ok though.
-Keyrahlie (TH/OC)

Lot of interesting items, I like most of it...and graphic is better then for Anna Sui Tribute.
I haven't bought anything yet, but I will later.
-lolika-1  (SDR)

I like it (:
Theres actually a few nice things in there x]
-Bethyc (TH/OC)

I like most of the clothes and shoes. I just spent 295sd
-HeyMissy19  (SDR)

Don't like > like
Nothing interesting really, I only like the dress (1) and one pair of shoes. I love that top anyways, so overall 3 items
-nelly000esparis (SDR)

It's not bad! I like some of the clothes but not all and some of the shoes are okay, not too bad.
Overall it's just same ol same ol really.
-Amie.LaRoux  (SDR)

This may be the first time in a while I've topped up for a new tribute collection.
I'm seriously in love with it all. The prices are a little up there though. :L 
-Foxy_Roxie (SDR)


What I bought:
 Black Banana Heels:- 11sd
 Hook Ball Heels:- 10sd

I didn't want to spend too much so I settled on 21 stardollars and two pairs of lovely shoes.
Also, I noticed this when scanning through the store:-
Oooo, I love the new lables that Stardoll has made, especially the "ALREADY YOURS" thing, am I just slow or is it new?
What do you think of the new tribute store?
Did you buy anything?
Let me know via your comments!

Clubcreator in club Tokio Hotel?

Reccently, Robin's OC(OriginalClub) got deleted once again so around about the same time we were greeted with the new Starlevel system the OC'ers were wandering from club to club, each one being taken down by the "OC curse" finally the majority settled down in the Tokio Hotel club.
 A day passed by and all of the clubs that had previously been deleted got restored, all apart from the OC'ers home( :c awwh ) and it became apparent that the other clubs deletions had been a glitch of some sort, but as a notification that appears on "Contact us" reads:-
4 days ago:- Amy Diamond, Twilight, OC
"These clubs are currently under review and investigation"

 It turned out that Stardoll Staff were cleaning and reviewing the clubs that had gotten deleted and removing topics which they felt were going against their one-stop rules.
Some time passed and then...BOOM!
 Topics every couple of minutes about deleted accounts, OC'ers were in panic, switching to their back-ups and others worrying about if they were next(I and a couple of other's began calling this the Stardoll Apocalypse) and in the span of a couple of days, many had lost their accounts to deletion.
 We also saw the appearence of a new warning on the club page:-


Recap over and onto the purpose of this post.

 So I popped into TH today and saw, to my surpise a topic made by clubcreator, the original owner of Stardoll Royalty and owner of many official clubs on Stardoll.
 It seems Stardoll really is inforcing the rules now.
I made a topic addressed to Clubcreator which she kindly replied to(didn't go in this order) :-


And here's the reply:-

Hmm...but everyone posts their blogs? :/
Oh and the joke at the end is about her first topic where she left out "for" and people started joking about it.

Are the OC'ers going to tone it down just a little bit?
Are you infact an OC'er yourself?
What do you think of clubcreator ?
Anything else?
Please let me know via your comments!

Starlevels



The Starpointing system, the only thing that hadn't altered over the Stardoll ages, replaced by an ugly, eye-sore of a Starleveling monstrosity.
Royalty Diamonds and Superstar Stars pushed down underneath our icons so ugly, horrid, tacky looking crowns could take their place, broadcasting to the Stardollie World exactly what you are whether you like it or not.
On June the 14th 2012, Stardoll "Leveled up", replacing the Starpointing with a new "up to date" way to earn points called "Starleveling" where instead of earning a certain amount of points to get an item you now have to reach a certain level.
Personally, I don't like this new system and absolutely dispise both the green bar thing that shows our progess and the crown(I WANT MY PWETTY DIAMOND BACK!!! D<)there was nothing wrong with the Starpointing system, in my opinion and Stardoll should have left it alone.
Before I end up on a rant, let's move on.
I asked the club "Stardoll Royalty" what their thoughts on this new system were:-


I just wish we could see how many starpoints we had and the crown wasn't on our frame thing or at least have a different color for it. I would like diamond back.
-MeganROX155   


I have mixed feelings.
I suppose it's easier for younger children to understand, and even for teenagers, a quick look shows you how 'high up' you are.
I like the fact you can see starpoint hair in beauty parlour, and apparently it'll become easier to get starpoints and level up.
On the other hand, the design is ugly. Yellow and green? (yucky) It was also a big dissapointment (sp?) that they got rid of the royalty diomand, it was a lovely classy picture next to our doll!
I think there should be different crown designs for each rank (non ss, ss, Royalty, Staff) or at least a nicer design!
I don't think stardoll will get rid of the levels system, so we better get used to it....

I dont mind it, but it feels like a competition to get higher levels than your friends, whereas with starpoints, it wasn't on show to everyone beside your medoll in an ugly crown!

It seems as if Stardoll has made it so that we're competing against each other to get the highest level. I also think it's completely unnecessary that it has to appear everywhere next to our username. It's an eyesore.
But what really annoyed me was that it replaced the place of the royalty diamonds. They were pretty.
I also just miss the starpoints system because it was simpler in my opinion, say if you had 4000 starpoints and then the next day you got 12 you would have 4012. Now, it's all confusing because you don't even know how many starpoints you have, just levels.
The good thing that came out of it was that you can get rewards earlier, but this is unfair to older members who have had to work very hard to get rewards and now it's much easier for everyone else.

I think Stardoll should make a new design for the crowns, those horrid things should never be apart of stardoll, nor any other site. Please consider making a new design.

Fresh Start

Seeing as I kinda let this place go due to various reasons I thought it was time to have a fresh start. All of the extremely old posts dating back to January and 2011(all of them) were deleted to start again. What do you think of the new layout and picture? Tell me your thoughts and feelings below.
