Charm Party FAQ (updated 04/17/14)
While the basic idea of the Charm Parties is fairly straightforward (players were hosting them before we even thought of building this feature!) there are a few questions that keep coming up. Questions like these:
Q: If I join a Charm party, will I lose my Gems if the room doesn't get filled and/or the host doesn't award them?
A: That was one of the first things we thought of. While you have to have the Gems to enter a Charm Party, no Gems are deducted from your total until the Charms are actually purchased. Nobody is every charged Gems for Charms they don't get.
Q: What happens if the host leaves?
A: If the Host leaves, the Charm Party Charms cannot be awarded until they return. Along with the Charm Party feature, we've also fixed Events so the host always returns to the "main" room.
Q: I'm hosting a Charm party, but I can't afford the Gem cost to get into my own event!
A: That can happen. Please do not host events you cannot afford to attend yourself.
Q: How many people can be in a room at one time? When is the room full?
A: Vegas World Charm Parties allow up to 25 players in the room at one time with no other limits. This is different than a normal room. where only 15 avatars can navigate to a room on their own. After that, only avatars brought to the room through the Group feature can enter the room, up to the 25 avatar cap.
Q: If the room size is 25, why do new people keep going to overflow rooms when the main room isn't full?
A: The room limit is 25, but if too many people are trying to get into a room at once, it can clog up the system and limit the total number actually allowed in. If you are hosting the party, setting more restrictive limits on who may attended (by level, for example) can actually help get more people into the room. Also, if the party is over, and the Charms have already been awarded, all new players joining the party will get an overflow room. The game will still display a Charm Party for a few minutes after the Charms are awarded before it updates the list and removes it from the list.
Q: The Host awarded the Charms before the room was full. What can I do about that?
A: It is up to the host of a Charm Party to award the Charms. It's in their best interest to wait until the room is full, but it is not required for them to wait. This is not an issue that the Vegas World staff can address.
Q: Does it matter where avatars are standing whether or not new people can get in?
A: Nope. That doesn't matter at all.
Q: What happens if a player doesn't have enough Gems to pay for the required Charms then they enter the party?
A: A player who does not have enough Gems to pay for the required Charms will not be able to enter the Charm party.
Q: What happens if a player had enough charms to get in, but has spent enough that he or she doesn't have enough Gems for the Charm when the host passes them out?
A: That player is not charged Gems, but doesn't receive Charms, either.
Q: If I leave the party and come back, I see the "bouncer" screen twice. Was I charged twice?
A: Nope. The Bouncer is checking to see if you have enough Gems each time, but you aren't charged until the Charms are actually awarded. Nobody is ever charged Gems for Charms they don't get.
Q: The game froze up right as the Charms were being awarded. I think I was charged Gems for Charms I didn't get.
A: Nobody is ever charged for Charms they don't get. When you restart the game, your Charms will be in your Charm manager (or will appear soon after.) The same problem that caused your game to crash can also delay the display of your new Charms, but only for a few minutes.

So far, I have been at very few of these new charm parties where more than 15 or 16 people were able to get into the room. Sometimes trying to group invite others into the main room does not work -- the people trying to get into the main room still go to overflow. You wind up with a suite only partially full, with others wanting in but not being able to get in. Lots of time wasted trying to get the room full.

I agree waiting for a room to fill to 25 is too time consuming. It makes no sense to have people in overflow when the main room isn't even full yet.

The problem is the room size limit, which was 15, except when people grouped others, which allowed up to 25. The room capacity is being raised to a straight 25 people for Charm Parties as part of today's site update. All other rooms, including non-Charm Party events, will still use the old 15 person maximum.

why can't just a few go to a room without gems... a gem free room but private to friends only

The players setting up the events can choose to make the party open, require charms, or not, depending on what they like. The idea is to make the Vegas World Events be as flexible as possible.

Charm parties could become history if we don't get some new method to earn gems. VIROOL hasn't paid out anything all week and JunGroup only awards 3-6 per day. Other sponsors require credit cards or too much personal info (IMO not worth the risk).

We have contacted Virool and they have confirmed they finished updating the security for their videos on Tuesday. The update had caused the videos to fail for some players for the last few days. If you're still not getting Gems from Virool, it's for the usual reasons (repeat viewing, adblockers installed, closing the video before it's finished etc.)
0 -
Virool: "Sorry we have no videos for you right now", and yet they promise at least 25 gems EVERYDAY?
0 -
Virool video availability is based on where you live, what videos you've already seen, and Virool's inventory. If you've been using tricks in order to get paid for viewing videos multiple times, it's also possible Virool has banned you from their service.

IDK what "tricks" you are talking about but, if I've been banned, they haven't extended the courtesy of telling me so- I wish they would so that I won't waste anymore time trying to visit their site.

Question.......if when you enter a 'cav' party and the pop-up states you can't enter the room without paying the fee (in my case 400 gems) and you SEE that they have been TAKEN from your total gems.....then the host disappears....never to return........people begin to leave.....and there you are down 400 gems and no charms given....what do you do to get your gems reinstated? Doesn't seem right....is this a scam that I am not aware of? Does this happen often? How does one go about getting their gems back when the host does not 'pay out' with charms????? Very disappointed....

If your Gem total went down, it was for some other reason. As the first question in the FAQ covers, no Gems are taken from anyone until the host pushes the big button.

At a charms party how many players need to be in the room before the host gives out the charms?
0 -
Dr D: Up to 25 or whatever number of avatars are in the room the host chooses to award the charm at.

had a caviare party when i pushed the button it gave me a ERROR 28 this was embarrassing want to know what that means and can it be fixed soon please (currently on chrome)
0 -
Yah what's error 28?!?! i need to know bcuz its embarrassinnngg!!!
0 -
When the host is not on the main floor, then you will get error 28. It has to say when the party starts, welcome to the main floor and then ask you if you want to participate in the charm party that you will be hosting.
0 -
Oh, one more thing about the ERROR 28, If you are in the main room/floor,** STAY** in the room and not leave to try and get more guests. You should group the ones you want to attend the party and your guest(s) should do the same if their invite is not a friend on your list and wants to attend.

Was there a problem yesterday with the charm parties? I have gone to several of them before but every time I tried yesterday I ended up going back to the video screen. Then if I tried to enter again I went to the over flow room. The exact sequence was I entered the room and the message would pop up to click on how many charms I would need. I then clicked on yes or the charm. I only needed between 9 and 15 charms to the events and I have 100. I then entered the room. The counter for how many people was on the left so I knew I was in the main room for the charm party. Then after 30 seconds I got sent back to the enter screen that asks you if you want to watch the video to earn charms or skip it. When I tried to enter the party again I went to the overflow room. This happened three different times at three different parties.

Latest party for example was Genuine Risks party on 11/29/13 at approximately 11 am a two champagne party the room was full at 25 and I only received 40 charms and 2 of which I bought ?? this is only 1 of several examples I have encountered since last update !! Why are the full compliment of charms not received ?
0 -
