Title: Premium User Membership
Post by: selfdefiant on August 26, 2014, 04:23:45 PM
We are working hard to supply the best new games here at Melting-Mindz.com. It's hard work to keep up with the demand of the players. They can't get enough of our games! We realize that some players wish to have a hassle free game playing experience. With these thoughts in mind we have decided to offer a Premium user subscription. With this each user will get to play each new game the instant it is released, they can be notified via email. Each game will be without advertisements, the forum will become advertisement free as well. There will be special games that will only be accessible to these users and there will be other special incentives for these Premium users. Each subscription will cost $15 per 3 months. The fee helps to keep an ad free experience and help with the cost of game development. If you are interested just sign up to our forum and apply to become a premium member! Thanks for helping support Melting-Mindz games!

Even without extra special incentives, this is always my preferred option to show my appreciation for my favorite sites.

I am glad to support the deserving people who add so much fun to my day, and do so often, given a chance (even on sites where sponsoring is entirely optional and doesn't actually enable any extras at all) - but not by putting up with garish, distracting and annoying ads, especially considering that they are every so often hacked, and an accidental click can lead to getting malware installed in my computer.

Good choice.  :)

I have to admit it wasn't easy to find for me either.  Perhaps SelfDefiant should leave clues! ;)

Press the Profile tab, and then press the Actions tab.

Another option might be to go directly to http://melting-mindz.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=subscriptions;u= < add your site member number here, to the end of the URL; i.e., for you (user #322), the full link would be: http://melting-mindz.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=subscriptions;u=322   :)

ETA: Hi Storm, thanks for the comment!

Ah.  Game-like to find the link.  Very SD.  Clever.  Well I found it.  Should have looked more carefully.  Many thanks AnnieK.

Question to SD...

SD...I view your request for Premium User Membership and really love the idea...as posted, AnnieK express my feelings explicitly, which is why I am very interested in your proposition. 

However, I did not respond right away because, first, it was difficult to navigate or understand how to become a member...information and navigation was lacking, as I did not know I had to look under account for Premium membership options.  ...Pahsimeroi was right it you were not clear.   Second, I do not like that my "only" payment option to become a Premium User is to use PayPal.  I don't trust PayPal and have read the reviews behind them.  I really believe in you and love your games, but my GOD give me a serious sense of being, allow me to have "options.

I want to become a Premium User, but allow the user, myself,  to pay they way which I feel somewhat safe using, and PayPal is not one of those payment accounts I trust.

So what do I do if I want to become a Premium User but do not want to go through PayPal.  Please respond...always, you are my main man for escape and fun games.

I'm not sure about this. The only payment I can choose from is paypal. You don't have to have a paypal account to send me money through paypal. You can use credit card, check , debit card, I think. If you want to just send me the money for the membership somehow, I can work out the rest. I've used paypal for 8 years or more and have never had a problem but I do know a few people who hate it. :) We are all allowed to make our own choices, thank goodness for that! I totally understand where you are coming from. :) I will try to figure out other payment options in the mean time. :)

If you follow the links through you Profile and pay through PayPal you are given the options there to use VISA, MC or Amex.  I use Amex almost exclusively since they will reverse unauthorized charges should they appear from PayPal or others unknown sources.  Amex is very good about honoring reversals for unauthorized charges from any source.  That's why I use my Amex almost exclusively.  Its the safest way to make transactions online.  I've never had a problem with them for over 15 years.  In others words, the payment options offered here are safe.

Hi Selfdefiant,

I Really love your games, especially the beach houses and asylum series.
Just when I thought I would rather pay for your games and play without ads...I discovered the premium membership. wow!

I subscribed immediately and paid in september.
When does this premium membership start? I havenĀ“t received any mails with game links yet and am still playing the SD games  with loads of ads.
Do I have to do anything else besides subscribing and paying?

Hello Sally,
You can play all of the latest games here in the forum in the premium users area. :)
Here's the link (http://melting-mindz.com/forum/index.php?board=5.0). You can also turn ads off here on the forum, they are on by default. You can go to your profile and turn them off. :)

AnnieK, you are welcome ;D  I enjoy reading your comments, you have great suggestions. 

Hey, I am hoping that as premium users we can help SD come up with ways to entice more general users to move over to Premium.  So far I am like what SD has offer and I look forward to seeing how things keep getting better and better.... SD is 8) with me.

I would love to be able to turn off ads in forum - there is no selection for that.

I would love to buy a premium subscription without using PayPal - there is currently and endless looping PayPal maze.

When you are premium, you can turn off ads in the forum. Paypal worked for the other members, I'm not sure why there would be a loop. I can always have you pay for the membership directly and I can turn it on in the forum, if you would like to do this, you can email me and we can work it out. info[at]melting-mindz[dot]com

Thanks to you that we can play with your games free too.

SD ...finally you made a resolution to enforce an acquire premium user membership...Hooray! I love your games, however recently I because there were no new games on your website I started my day with New Escape Games...only because I did not see what's new with you. Now I see that I cannot play your games without membership I have enrolled...but my point is those who do not for whatever reasons is simply that their reasons.  I am a strong fan of your games and I am willing to pay the cost to enjoy your games...but do not disappoint me. Please SD I want to support your website a fresh game everyday is what I expect from you, as in the past.   :)

I'm not forcing premium membership at all. I simply updated the pre game video ad and it isn't working correctly. It is messing up and not loading the game, mostly for players with adblock enabled. As for premium membership. I can't post new games every day. I try to add new games at least once a day but sometimes I'm unable to. I do have to take time off now and then! :) I will do my best to make great games as often as possible! :)

SD you do not have to defend yourself with me...I understand...and trust you understand that gaming is simply that..."gaming" and those of us who participate fully understand this...as for you not being able to post a game everyday...understandable...but you have to understand your fans such as myself have grown to expect a game from everyday because that's what you have lead us to expect.  However I have noticed lately that you are posting games of others which I attribute to you taking a break...all understandable...no explanation needed.  Stay Cool and true to Sneaky!

Best,

Hi, I love your games and just became a premium member. Partly because I want to support you and also because I hate all the adds.
So... where do I find the ad-free games?

I am always conflicted as to whether to post questions / clues here on walkthroughs or on the regular Escape Games 24 walkthrough site.  SD, which would you prefer us do?

I have tried to purchase Abandoned 2017 from Google Play, which is where the link sends me, but it says Android.  Where do I go to purchase the game for compute if I decide not to continue as a premium memberr?  I have let my premium membership lapse and am trying to decide whether to renew.  A game every day is not important to me but an occasional Asylum game that is lengthy and well designed is what I enjoy.

You are more than welcome to post answers and ask for help here. That's what this forum is for, along with the premium membership program. At the moment, I only have Abandoned 2017 on the Google Play store for Android. I am working on getting it up for Windows. Yes, I plan on making more Asylum's for Premium members. :)

I want to play the games in the area I am paying for. Please help me. My old login was marine mom. I can't get anywhere! My new log in is Laure. I'm not on Facebook. Please help me.

Was considering becoming a premium member because I assume the world escape games moving ad that causes slow loading will disappear. But I'm not so sure now after seeing how when I collect and item in one game it won't let it put it in inventory or use it which makes it useless. Another one only shows one letter in an anagram box so that makes it useless as well. Shining asylum lags like crazy and won't let me put items in inventory either. Tried downloading the stand alone flash player and found a couple that had swf at end and were downloadable so I downloaded them and they opened but then it came up and said the game had been jacked and I know 100% that these two were not jacked games online so wondering if anyone has any idea why that's happening. All google, microsoft, apple and facebook say about flash is pure garbage and entire internet started glitching right after they started the kill flash crap. Noticed buggy crap all over the internet 2016 and up. html5 is clearly buggy itself since hidden247 started making games with it in later 2016 to get adjusted to it. They had to remove difference levels, music glitched a lot, sound effects sounded off, loads very slowly. Now the flash ones they converted load quicker and music will start after you hit play but even a few of the musics they had are gone. Seems that all the crap google and these other Luciferian turd places claimed flash did is actually what their players do. I foresee a full internet crash in the future. The security thing is a blatant lie and I have not and will not uninstall flash! I just delete their b.s. "security flash player update" they keep forcing! The way google and microsoft spy on us & they claim to care for our privacy? They make CIA look like toddlers at spying. Adobe was clearly powerless with these globalist turds! I'm so annoyed. I love the newgrounds player & at least you have quite a few games on there. No real reason to remove flash completely. Leaving it disabled in corner would've been enough. This is actually much worse than most think & it's jealousy of Adobe because they're too stupid to make a player as good as flash & they're not getting the money & it may even screw up their spying. They've screwed many flash game makers out of jobs which is a major reason for this covid-19 scam! They're total NAZI Scumbags!
