How can I donate if I don't have contact with the tenant? Because that's usually how it works. maybe that will happen too but how do you control all the poison that the residents get, I don't think that will ever go well, what I would also like is to be able to turn off apartments so that I don't see residents that I don't want to see at all. With tips you get even more forced shows and who wants that.. It's all still young somewhere I'll wait and see what the final product will look like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make more sense if they introduced a way to chat with participants but then that would really change the entire format. Then it would just be like any other typical cam site, just with more cams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I only do it because I consider it a good value for what you get. But with the new model of subbing to each apartment that would cause the price to soar if you subbed to them all. I mean right now if you break it down, with the RLC annual plan it only costs $1.25/month per apartment for 21 apartments and the two villas. But with this new website it's nearly $45/month for only 9 apartments, that's $5 per apartment instead of $1.25 per apartment, not including the villas. So yeah, pretty terrible value in my opinion, It says it all. Suckers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie_oi_oi Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 I can't see paying the same or more as great marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie_oi_oi Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Why would you sub to an apartment that only has 2 cameras? Also, the new apartments have poor-quality cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I subbed to the Alexandra apartment just to test things out and see how it compares to RLC. You're right, the cams are somewhat worse quality, especially the audio. The activity timeline is essentially worthless as it shows constant activity whether there is any movement or not. Additionally when using the replay the cams are not properly synced with each other, so switching between cams in the replay causes the time between cams to be way out of sync. For example if you've been on the kitchen cam for a while then switch to the bedroom cam it may be 30 minutes later in time from the point you switched. The cams also tend to glitch and time jump a lot even when you're just watching a single cam. It will occassionally jump forward in time at random. There is also no forward and back buttons like RLC has to jump forward or back in 30 second intervals. Though the same keyboard shortcuts that work on RLC still work here to go forward and back (J for back, L for forward). I also find it a bit strange that the bedroom cam still has REALLIFECAM in the lower right of the screen even though this apartment isn't even on RLC. Needless to say I will only be subbed for this one month. After that I'm sticking to RLC. If RLC dies then they just lost a regular customer. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XLIFE definitely feels like a cost cutting measure. I only chose the Alexandra apartment because it's the only new offering on XLIFE that felt close to a "full" apartment with two bedroom cams, a kitchen cam, and a bathroom cam. I have no interest in the apartments that don't have coverage for multiple rooms. I am just hoping they will keep this as a seperate option alongside the more premium RLC with the vacation apartments. I wouldn't even mind paying more for RLC if they would introduce some new features to make it worth it. I would love to see them upgrade to 4K cams. I feel like the 1080p era has passed. But since they are trying to cut costs I guess that won't be happening any time soon. I really wish a new RLC competitor would emerge that offers a more premium experience. It would need to have all of RLC's features plus the higher 4K resolution and maybe some other perks such as the ability to speed up the video in real time rather than just jumping ahead in 30 second intervals. That would really shake things up and it would give RLC a reason to step up their game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need valuable feedback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
