Hello and thank you in advance!
Does anyone remember the exact location of Studio 225? I've been telling my wife about it off & on for years and would like to show her where it was. Also, if anyone has photos from back in the day I would love to see them.
The official date was May 21st so I'm a bit late posting this. I'm not a gamer at all but I kept seeing an ad involving some guy buying the shed owned by his HOA president. Apparently my will was broken after 20ish times of the ad popping up on social media.
Parcels: I could have had way more I'm sure but I didn't discover the website and on-demand surveys until about five months into the year. Once I did I played catch up as much as possible but there's only so much you can do, especially when you go through the whole survey and it glitches. I still do them but I tend to lean toward the smaller payouts as they seem less problematic.
Badges: I've bought them sporadically. Travel outside of my town is the hindrance. Currently there's not too much of that. I have decided recently that I'm going to get to the 25% tier so I can check that box and concentrate on parcels.
Money: Obviously dictated by the two above. Not the prime motivator but a motivator all the same.
Overall: I'm loving the game. It's genuinely fun due to the strategic element. The fact that you can choose to just play and aren't bound to the milestones set by AE to succeed/have fun are even better. Having said that:
Do your research!!! Read up on the various elements of gameplay, strategies, etc. Find tools to help you in your progress, whatever that path may be. The website and the subreddit are definitely recommended. I wish I had known or even thought to do these things initially.
I reached the $10+ rent threshold so I subbed to the Atlas Explorer Club starting in May (the monthly not the daily login). Moving forward I will be keeping a daily log of what I accrue from login, spins, ads, surveys, games, etc. Call me a dork but I want to see those numbers at the end of every month.
That's my take for now. Have fun w/ it and good luck!
So the last time I commented about "survey screwing" (new term. just invented. run with it.) it was in reply to someone else commenting about having better luck w/ shorter, lower paying surveys. I was in agreement on this b/c I had been doing the same due to survey screwing when I would attempt (note that wording!) a higher paying one.
Fast forward a bit of time and I decide to give it a go again. I open the app and voila, there is a 60 AB that says it'll take six minutes. Now, we all know that the six minutes is in reference to all of the demographic questions and not the real survey, which you might not even qualify for. Buuuuut...I qualified. And only after answering 17 or so uniquely redundant questions...
The survey was in regard to real estate. I'd tell you more but they made me swear not to tell anyone a word about the proprietary questions (regurgitations of words) that I was trusted w/ like a nuclear football.
I answered every single one honestly and in a timely manner. I always do. It's just my thing. I respect the rule of the game when it comes to those even if I'm not getting a ROI emotionally (cue up the BetterHelp ad).
Between the demo questions and the real survey it took about 20 or so minutes. And then it happens...I get a question saying "Thank you for your participation. This is the last question and will be about your demographic". I answer it and...the buffering wheel spins just a second longer than I'm comfortable w/.
And then the notification that I was screened out and could continue or cancel. That's it. Nothing to click on to complain. At all. But hey, they give me the obligatory 1 AB so there's that...
TL; DR: Survey Screwing...
