Elite TV / Studio 66 - General Chat & Discussion

I currently have zero credits and can't write in the chat.

However, if I remember correctly, even with zero credits I would still be able to write in the chat if I had topped up within the last 30 days.

Yeah, but you have to pay for that monthly, no? So not really a fix.

Honestly, I don’t know why S66 think putting obstacle after obstacle in the way of punters getting access to their streams (which after all are a shop window for calls, tips and power cam) is a sound business model. Especially when Rampant is just a click away.

Vip counts as a monthly top up. You can have very low credits and get full access as long as you've topped up in the last month. This new policy is targeting infrequent spenders who keep their credits low. For some reason 66 is judging such guys as not worthy of complete access to the site's functions. Trouble is 66 haven't said publicly where the cut off of "low" is.

The restricted streams are not available on Rampant.

Really? When I see the Restricted label on S66 streams, I sometimes log in, but more often scurry over to Rampant, and there they are. The only thing missing is access to pervcams, but that works for me.

Admittedly, the constant chat posts there of “Can the girls see this?” and “They can’t see this, mate,” get a little wearying (I guess Rampant can’t switch off the chat just for S66, even though it’s redundant).

One more thing is that even logged in, S66 bounce you out of the stream fairly frequently, which doesn’t happen nearly so often on Rampant.

It's to stop people keeping a low number of credits in their account simply to enable them to write in the chat.

The idea is that if you eliminate these kind of people from the chat then you also largely eliminate 'chat trolls'.

They are available on Ramp if they're a main cam stream. As an example, not currently logged in to 66 and Mercy is showing as restricted but over on Ramp her main cam stream is viewable.

I think you may have missed the point. You're talking about streams which are only 'restricted' in the sense that you have to be logged in to view them. Which is quite different to the streams which you can only view if you're a VIP or you've topped up in the last 30 days. Two different things entirely.

Some are on Rampant but not all. There's paywall only streams that don't get seen on Rampant too.

As to what we see when not logged in on 66: Which streams get linked without the AV restricted logo seems inconsistent to me. I can't fathom the criteria behind that one either - beyond babes that are on tv not requiring to be logo-ed that way that is.

Don't think 66 bouncing us from the streams when we're logged in is intentional. Its only occassional isn't it?? It only seems to happen to me when additional babes are added to the available options and the babes' stream allocations are changed as a result. Or there are other reasons they feel the need to switch streams about.

Yes but it's not limited to that is it. As 830 posted whole access to spending is blocked.

To be fair to posters here, you using the term "restricted" (a term 66 use in reference to the AV requirements) caused this confusion.
