Ive been having technical issues where out of the blue it boots me out the server, and when im on freechat i get that window that says user may experience low playback due to your bandwidth when i know for a fact i have great internet speed,and last night it just kept freezing some members told me that other girls have been freezing too. Have any of u had similar problems? Xpeeps can you help me with this

Yes, I've been getting those bandwith messages for a while even though my upload is consistently 8-9 mbps. I'm also getting this weird/annoying problem of my audio sounding like an echo sometimes, but only for some users. I've been in other models' rooms and sometimes they have an echo too so I know it's not just me. It seems to happen most frequently when there are a lot of people (models and members) on the site.

Hi, yes i always get that low bandwidth come up on mine too, but the cam looks perfectly fine so i tend to press ignore, at times it just kicks me out though altogether. You know you mention when lots of girls are on are you talking more than 6? I tend to be on when there are no more than between 6-10 other girls
CourtneyRaine
08-21-2012, 08:48 AM
Yes, by "a lot" I mean over a dozen. Which is kind of funny that that's "a lot" for xpeeps standards when you compare it to other sites, but yeah, over a dozen models or so. I also just press ignore on the bandwidth messages, no one has ever complained about my video quality. Luckily I haven't been disconnected in a while, but it used to happen multiple times a night. So frustrating!

Ive seen as much as 14 models at a time, the echo thing happens to me too, im glad to know im not the only person this happens to i was getting ready to make a bitchy phone call to my isp, hope xpeeps rep reads this so they can work on these bothersome problems i was having a great night last nigh tand my pvt show was interrumpted when my cam froze, and ofc the user left the pvt :-(

It seems like these problems have been going on for a while and they have yet to correct them. When their "RealTouch" model was on the other night her cam quality wasn't so great and her audio was a little choppy at times. If they didn't even get her an awesome quality feed I doubt us "regular" models can expect much better. On the one hand, I'm almost glad that this is happening to everyone because guys know that everyone's quality is just mediocre so they don't blame you personally. But on the other hand? With so many sites pushing for HD and crystal clear cam quality I wonder how much money xpeeps is missing out on. I was browsing models on SM after my shift a couple of days ago and I swear, so many of these girls have amazing feeds, they come up on my monitor like I am watching them through a clean pane of glass or something, everything looks so sharp and crisp. And then I go on xpeeps and half of the models online look like pixels. It's just interesting to me to see the difference.

I tried this site, but I cancelled bec/ all the guys are sooo cheap on here and want you to do stuff for free. I got tips, but never got payed on em as far as I know... It was a waste of time.
CourtneyRaine
08-21-2012, 10:37 AM
IMO, xpeeps is about regs more than any other site I've worked on. Yes, there are cheap guys on there who want it all for free, but that is all sites. Not too many guys these days seem to have tokens but the ones who do know how to use them, so you've really got to build a connection so those paying custies will keep coming back to you. Also, xpeeps is NOT a site where you can log on any time of day and make money. Trust me, I spent a morning last week split camming on there and made $3.50 in over four hours. Lol, never again. The only time you can actually make a reasonable amount is evenings/nights EST.
If you didn't get paid I would shoot them an email at
[email protected]
A lot of us were having some issues this pay period but if you earned tokens, they need to pay you.
I love the 70% I get on xpeeps, most sites don't offer that so if anything it's a good platform to use to have indy custies pay you if you don't have your own payment processor in place. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think xpeeps has charegbacks? So that's a plus. Then again, once you earn $10,000 on MGF you'll get 70%, too. I don't know, I am feeling wary about xpeeps at the moment for a lot of different reasons, but I've got to finish out the pay period since I've already earned a but and I don't want to lose it. I hope things change for the better in the next couple of weeks but I don't see that happening.

is there a way to change the 40 tokens a min in pvt, to a higher amount?
CourtneyRaine
08-25-2012, 07:46 AM
No, I don't think you can adjust the pre-set prices. However, what you can do is ask the member for additional tokens first before accepting the private request, or ask for the entire amount you want upfront and then do the show on skype or something once he's paid you in tokens. A lot of girls do discounted skype shows for tokens, I don't see any reason why you can't charge more instead. Hope this helps!

I got this email from xpeeps in my junk email folder, in case anyone missed it:
Dear Xpeeps model,
Due to our accounting office's closure for the upcoming Labor Day holiday, we will be sending payments on the 30th so that your money will hopefully get to you before the holiday weekend.
The reason for this change is due to our normal payment processing day falling on a Saturday which is followed by the Labor Day holiday on Monday during which our accounting office will be closed. Put simply, we didn't want to make you wait several extra days before you got paid.
Thank you all for your efforts to support Xpeeps!
Have a great day,
The Xpeeps Team

I'm new to the Xpeeps site, but not new to camming (I am mainly on SM) yesterday was my first day on there (Xpeeps) to be exact. There is a couple things I tried to find the answers to in the threads here about Xpeeps but didn't really see anything that answered the questions I have about the site.
First question would be how in the heck does the HD Wave Encoder work? All it does is crash everytime I try to start it. I followed the examples I was able to find on the net but to no avail.
Next question- Is there a way to require a minimum tip in order for people to join your goal shows when you black out non tippers and guests?
Reason I ask this is one of the guys who did shows with me yesterday put in like virtually the whole token amount over the course of 30 minutes of me trying to get others to join in. So since I was only like a 100 tokens away from my goal I told this guy I would do the show just for him. Like 6 minutes into the 10 minute show for this guy, some guy tips 10 tokens so he can watch the show too. I didn't want to stop the show cause the guy who had put in all the tokens was really loving what I was doing, but I was a little pissed off that this guy who I was doing this for had put in 500 tokens of the 600 for a cum show and then el cheapo who tips in 10 tokens got to watch the last 4 minutes of the show just the same.
Final question is what all do I need to do so my husband can be on the cam with me if he is home and able to be. We saw a couple of couples on cam together over the last few days and we're curious as to what needs to be done to make it "okay" for him to be on cam and us to do shows together if we wanted to.

You have to email support about the couple thing, first you have to get permission from them and then submit a copy of his id, etc.
As far as I know the blackout thing lets anyone that tips in so if you want to just do a show for one person you either have to go prv, sell a skype show for tkns, or if someone pops into your blackout show you can "kick" them out.

Because there were some... issues.. last pay period, I just wanted to report that xpeeps has paid me accurately. The funds are in my bank account right now. Hope everyone else has been paid!

I am still kinda new there but doing ok .... mainly thanks to my regs I brought from elsewhere. I can say that at #2 on the site the pay is less than 3k/mo so don't expect much for now at least unless you have have many virtual sugar daddies. I was going for #1 just to see if I could but it's not really worth it to me when it takes open zoomed penetration without having any tips yet to make it to #1 but I don't judge - just not within my comfy zone. Is anyone going to the cam mansion thingy in Jan? Realtouch has all but died for me too. Also, it seems to me the few random guys I get tipping in my room are in all the rooms, so they'll tip for a turn at a game for example and then won't be there to follow thru so they can actually play which is frustrating. Just some random thoughts. I think theres one girl there that sshould be dominating that site again so I may back off so she can go for #1 - i totally dig her but i am too shy to say hi :)

Hello, Decalyn.
The software that xPeeps has been running on since we launched beta has had too many technical issues. The 3rd party software vendor we were working with cannot get these problems resolved.
After much deliberation, we've decided it's time to let the current system go and switch xPeeps.com over to another system provided by Streamate.
As of Noon eastern standard time tomorrow, Friday, September 7th, the new Streamate version of the site will take over xPeeps.com.
If you are not already a model on Streamate's system, please set up your account through the "Become a Model" link at the bottom of the page which will be located on xPeeps.com after noon EST tomorrow.
Please also make sure that you get any contacts, emails, images, etc. copied off of the current xPeeps.com before we take the current site down completely.
Why such a drastic step?
We firmly believe our next generation cam site RealTouchInteractive.com is the future of all cams and proves this every day with its outrageous sales. We can't focus on improving RealTouchInteractive.com while also battling the persistent issues with the current xPeeps.com site.
What about Payouts?
We will send any remaining balance early next week.
Please contact us with any questions,
The Xpeeps Team
Wait what.

I haven't got a clue. Since it's the system that was borked, I'll be very disappointed if XP just becomes another SM clone. I LOVED their system.

Jessica1001
09-06-2012, 01:53 PM
Yeah, I just posted about it in the SM thread too, lol.
My thoughts:
-------
Does anyone else take this to mean that Streamate will be taking over RealTouchInteractive? Innnnnteresting. What will Gold shows be like, if you can 'virtually service' 20 men at once?
This is so shockingly in line with what Hayden said in another thread about the future of camming.... wow. :-)

DiamondCupcakes
09-06-2012, 02:08 PM
Yeah Im really confused as well. Is it like an SM version of MFC now? Since Xpeeps was like MFC but is now SM??? lol. I am super confused. Maybe Xpeeps is just getting some kind of perk for sending their models to SM now because it says you need to get a new model profile under the SM site. So Im assuming the Xpeeps site in general is no more. I love that they gave me one day notice =p
BlakeDahlia
09-06-2012, 02:47 PM
I don't work on Xpeeps so I don't really have a personal stake in it but this whole SM/xpeeps merger is really odd. Xpeeps' set up is so different than SM's seeing as it's a token based site. And the option to do goal shows and then boot non-tippers is what seems to have brought a lot of ladies over to try them out; not to mention the 70%.
Why would anyone sign up for SM through Xpeeps if Xpeeps is just a SM white label? What would be the point? If a model wanted to work for SM, why wouldn't she just sign up with SM? Unless there will be some sort of benefit such as being able to offer RealTouch on SM (which I could see as being really profitable since they have more traffic and great for selling more of the devices to men). I wonder what the payout percentage is going to be. I doubt it will be over 35%.
It seems like all the benefits of camming on Xpeeps will be gone once they merge with SM. I can't see them still being able to offer stuff like 70% or token goal shows on SM.

I got the same email. I hope this doesn't f things up - I have been on XPeeps since March and just applied to SM 4 days ago and am still waiting to be approved... how does one link the two? Do I have to apply AGAIN as an XPeeps model? I'm 100% confused!!
AF camgirl
09-06-2012, 02:53 PM
Yes, from what I understand from the email, xpeep has become a white label for SM. You all made a valid point about the payout though. By having us "sign up with streamate" we are taking a HUGE % cut. I emailed them back.
LilMissMuffett
09-06-2012, 02:57 PM
and what about regulars? can we just take them with us to wherever we decide to go? I'm still in shock.
maybe it's time I get my lazy ass verified camgirl here!
CourtneyRaine
09-06-2012, 03:06 PM
The fuck I just read?
I quit working on SM because I can't run the encoder on my current laptop so I'd literally been making less than minimum wage on there. Plus, I'm with a studio and only get 20%. So now.... I guess I'm pretty much fucked? Lol, thanks for the warning, Xpeeps.
I had a feeling the site was dying but I didn't expect them to pull the rug out from under us with less than 24 hour notice. Nice.

I think they you should be able to message your regulars on xpeeps and tell them your new cammodel link.

I loved xPeeps because it was so different from SM and now this?? SMH
CourtneyRaine
09-06-2012, 03:23 PM
Also, what about members who just bought tokens, and/or have a bunch of tokens in their account? Are they going to lose them, or will that somehow be converted into SM gold?
SM is so fucking oversaturated right now. This is just going to make it worse. I don't do well on oversaturated sites, and xpeeps was making up about 30% of my income. This is a huge blow for me. Can anyone recommend any similar sites?
DiamondCupcakes
09-06-2012, 03:29 PM
I agree, I dont see how a token based site can merge with SM. I always felt like Xpeeps was more of an improved version of MFC. This really sucks balls =/ I wish they would have explained more in the email
GlamourRouge
09-06-2012, 03:30 PM
I have a sneaky suspicion that girls on Xpeeps who are not already on SM will now be in a SM studio run by Xpeeps so you will not get your full 35%.

damn, i just signed up for them a few weeks ago and have yet to jump on. i just signed up for the realtouch thing earlier today too and now i am waiting for approval on that. i am a little peeved at the fact that the % wont be as good anymore. this sux big time!! can you use the real touch system on skype if u have custies that have them? or is it only for integrated systems? uggggghhhh! one day notice? geeez...
Tsani
09-06-2012, 04:00 PM
RealTouch isn't going anywhere and isn't having any changes made to it I don't think.
I was just talking with my friend who is an xPeeps customer and he's worried about all the videos he bought on xPeeps. When a customer buys a video on there it's video on demand accessed through their xPeeps account, not downloaded to their computer. Will customers still be able to access the content they bought? And yes I wondered about the tokens as well. I wonder if the customers got an email from them.

In a nutshell Xpeeps got screwed over by the third party vendor,and it's too expensive an time wasting to fix. So they're making Xpeeps a whitelabel for SM and put there focus back on RTi. It's a wise business strategy esp. if RealTouch can get in on some sweet SM traffic somehow. From the info that's floating around, it seems to confirm that only Xpeeps is going to SM...not RealTouch which will still be AEBN. It sucks they only gave a day notice but hell I'm thankful that they gave a notice instead of up and ran.
There's a lot of wise chicas on here that said it was going down. It did, just not for the assumed reason. Props to the ladies for seeing it coming though.
I wish Xpeeps would have worked out...I loved that site too. The only thing that was missing was more traffic and the whole chaotic money payment crap. Besides that I really can't say too many negative things about the company. I made good money, nice fun regulars, love the site functions, and the workers were all wonderful to me (something nonexistent for me with MFC and SM).
Fuck it, I'm back to mfc. RIP Xpeeps, you will be missed!!

just got a reply back from x-peeps. i emailed them last night kindly asking what was going on and this is what they said:
We apologize but all xPeeps functions will cease and the domain will host a skinned version of the streammate site. RealTouch and RealtouchInteractive.com are still owned by AEBN and will continue to function as they have been. RTi products and services are ONLY compatible with realtouch.com and realtouchinteractive.com and will not be offered on streammate. If you have questions about RTi please contact
