    no, keep it simple.
    it will be to complicated.
    my computer freezes now and then, and will freeze more with this.
    and swagbucks will lose some of its older users and gain more underaged kids.
    i know its fun, but kids might get addicted to it, and the number of kids with glasses will increase.

    sorry, no.

    I prefer it to stay the same. It takes me about 5 min everyday to get a swagbuck(s). I like not being addicted to it. I think having the "New World" would distract people a lot more than it does now. I don't know how many of you are addicted to it, because I know I'm sure not. I just get on, type in something, and if I don't get one right then, I come back in 5 min or so and search again, and usually end up getting one. It's not very addicting, cause when I get one, I get one. That's all. I'm trying to limit my time on the computer, and I just think that having the new world would addict me more, and I wouldn't get any school work done. That's my opinion. Thank you.

    I answered 'maybe', because - although it sounds fun (& a lil confusing), I'm not sure people with slower cpu or older Swag users will like it. (please dont get offended - I'm including myself in the 'older people' section!) LOL
    IF you gave people a choice - then it would work! Because not everyone wants to play or shop in a "virtual world" or whatever. Some - like me - want to get in & get out!
    That being said, it definitely WILL work - as long as the option is there for us to choose which way we personally want to use Swagbucks!
    Other than that...Great Idea!

    I also think it would create confusion for new users- is it real or just a game?
    There are two versions of Swagbucks- the simple, original version and the current version and members are allowed to choose which they want to use.

    If you created the virtual world with that in mind and provided the two options when members sign up...then maybe it would be a good idea.

    I love swagbucks and I love this idea. But you have to be careful, if you don't do a good job of it, it could just be another thing for complainers to complain about. I joined a site last year, just after they added some sort of virtual chat room, and just as we were getting used to it, they randomly terminated the site, and it looked like the site was going well.

    I would be on it all day. I would have no other life.

    I THINK THAT ITS A GREAT IDEA BUT THAT YOU SHOULD DO IT LIKE MYSPACE AND HAVE AN OPTION TO USE IT IN THE CLASIC MODE OR YOU COULD USE SWAGBUCKS IN THE VIRTUAL WAY IF THATS WHAT YOU WANT THAAT WAY EVERYONE IS HAPPY BECAUSE IT WOULD ENTERTAIN SOME PEOPLE AND THE OTHERS THAT DONT LIKE IT CAN USE THE CLASIC MODE

  • Aex - 15 years ago

    I do not think it would work. We would actually have to go inside the virtual world to get stuff?

  • Chris - 15 years ago

    I think its a great idea.

    Turquoise does have a point, but it is easy to make it abundantly clear that the item u buy are real and i dont see that being a major problem

    This could also make swag hunts more intresting by maybe having an "in world" hunt where u search the virtual world for a swagbuck cleverly hidden by the makers

    Overall this is a wonderful idea with almost limitless possibilities and evn the ppl who said its a bad idea dont have to use it so only good comes out of it

    Are you kidding? This is a wonderful idea! It is creative and whoever says no are too simple themselves. I think it would be cool.

  • Allie - 15 years ago

    I love the idea, but some mean people just don't appreciate what the Swag Guy has done for us!!!!! I think it is an excellent idea. Have fun making the virtual world Swag Guy!!!!

    Honestly, I think it's fine the way it is. I have been on here for the past couple months and love it. I am still learning the ropes and everything. I think if you are going to switch things up, keep it simple for those that have a hard time learning new things? Just my opinion. I'm sure I'll get accustomed to whatever you all choose to do. :)

    the game would just be an added bonus which would very fun indeed, but would probably make my computer lag even more than it already does

  • Turquoise - 15 years ago

    By having it in "game" format, with avatars and what not. New comers would think that all of this is a game, rather than thinking it is real life. They may percieve that you can only win prizes in the virtual world and not real life.. so in conclusion the game could be misleading.
