[New] Purchasing directly from the lofts

Hello dollz,

While visiting other players’ loft, did you ever ask yourself from which store a given item came from? Ever felt like buying an item directly from a loft, without going through the shops?

From now on you can buy the items you like directly from the lofts!

Wether you are in your loft or in someone else’s, you can click any item and see what store it comes from but also directly buy it.

http://blog.feerik.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/illoft1.png

How does it work?


Select an item and look for the purchase button [img]Bouton[/img] in the item’s menu.

http://blog.feerik.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/mini_achat.png

This will open a pop-up displaying the appropriate store and the option to buy the item.

http://blog.feerik.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/illoft2.png

Are all the items available? Even collector’s items?

All standard items are at the price displayed in store. The collector’s items as well as items linked to OhMyGames are at the unique price of 50 Fee’z.

Only items from open stores are for sale.

However, some items cannot be bought through the loft tool, for instance items that are no longer for sale or collector’s models.

When an item isn’t for sale, a warning message will be displayed instead of the buy button.

Have fun on OhMyDollz!

Re: [New] Purchasing directly from the lofts

That's something I suggested sometime back.  Not buying from the loft, but just to click on an item to see what store it came from. (not that Feerik did it because I once suggested something like this)

I like this option, I hope that it doesn't come with bugs.

It would be super great if the text would be in English on our server.   I know.... 'give it time'

OH!!!!  I just thought of the item I buy the most!   With each new quest that has a new room, I like to buy that one certain wig to make my hair look less lop-sided.  Now I won't have to leave that room to go to that store to buy it!!  Yay!

Wait I'm slightly confused. Are all items now 50 feez or just certain collectors items? Because then it goes on to say ,

Only items from open stores are for sale.

So who decides which collector items can be bought or not? -~-

I don't think we can buy collectors items. Still verifying but that 50 feez, pet my understanding, is placeholder text.

Re: [New] Purchasing directly from the lofts

From what I've seen and tested, all items from quests and magazine gifts (except some doll models) are 50 feez; items from closed stores cannot be purchased (unless that store is open); and gifts from friends cannot be purchased even with feez.

Now we know why they were having that survey question about buying Sewn Creations - which, by the way, can't be bought (at the moment.) I tested to see if I could buy one of my own sewn creations and it has blank text.

I find this new option strange, but also useful. I no longer have to go to My Things to see where an item came from, and then see if that store is open. I guess I find it odd, since there are a lot of things in the game that needs to be updated or given more options (like getting $$ for one example), but are continued to be ignored for completely new additions.

I'm not ranting, by the way, this is all typed out in a neutral tone from that voice in my head mdr

Re: [New] Purchasing directly from the lofts

I wanted to add some "good deal" info:

If I'm not mistaken, when the multiplyer option is available to be purchased with feez, 1 will cost you 99 feez.  To buy a model from a past quest (Pirates of the Caribean) will cost 50 feez.  To buy a male model from the Dollz Men store is around 200 Diva bucks.  You spend 150 feez for 30 db.  IF you don't have any DB's, you'd have to spend 150 feez SEVEN times to have 200DB to buy that male model or 1050 feez.  So.... if we can buy a quest model for 50 feez... there's your bargain =)

Re: [New] Purchasing directly from the lofts

In general I think this is a neat idea. I just have completely failed to do anything serious with my rooms since, oh the Cloud room quest? Looong time ago.


Really only wanted to ask, due to the recent Store updates - if you want to purchase an item from a loft, do you get to view color options as well? It seems like a natural idea to me.

And which OhMyGames items? The ones from the Jackpot, or the ones from the Boutique?


::mumbles:: and again why am I asking when I don't fully play this game, clarities sake? ::sighs::

I also had suggested this type of option.  That I could see where an item is from, without having to send a comment or message to a player.  I think buying it from that room makes sense.  But let's not add too many options to this.

It wouldn't be possible to get an item of a different color from collectors item or OMB items, since these are not in stores, or available in the boutique any longer.

(On the downside, I don't like the "shopping cart icon" button at it's current position. As I do use the "<>" button often).

Re: [New] Purchasing directly from the lofts

Amazing!  Just the ability to find out where a particular item came from is a huge help.

Getting there.  I just tried the new button on a wig and was told it's from the Flash store, along with this accompanying message: "Purchase impossible, the store from which this item originates is currently closed."

Re: [New] Purchasing directly from the lofts

Has anyone else not been able to use the purchase from loft function? Is it just Firefox that won't work? I haven't been able to successfully purchase something from a loft when I try.

I use Firefox. It works for me.

Have you tried clearing your cookies? Whenever any new changes are made to the site, I find I have yo clear them so they'd take effect.

Re: [New] Purchasing directly from the lofts

One of the *knock the wind out of my sails* con with this, is that trophy items can be bought with feez instead of actually completing that trophy goal.  That is the only thing i don't like about this.
