I have VIP myself and honestly I don't think it's worth the money anymore.

The prices in the game keep going up, especially with Crowns, but the VIP rewards are basically staying the same. Gold gives 15 Crowns a day, so around 450 a month. Meanwhile there are single items now costing 209, 309 or even 579 Crowns.

So I can pay for Gold VIP for a whole month, collect every Crown, buy nothing else and still not even have enough for one 579 Crown item. That alone says enough.

And the 5% discount on Avacoin items is honestly barely anything. You don't even notice it. If I'm paying monthly, I want a discount that actually feels useful.

What also annoys me is that Coin items are disappearing more and more. A month ago there were at least maybe 1 or 2 Coin items in new releases. Now I go through the new section and nearly everything is Crowns.

Basic shirts? Crowns.

Shoes? Crowns.

Hair? Crowns.

Accessories? Crowns.

So why are Avacoins still one of the main VIP rewards when there is less and less new stuff to actually buy with them?

And the fashion is also getting really repetitive. For women it's a lot of glitter, chains, tiny skirts, bodysuits, beige, black, white, gold and pink. For men it's a lot of baggy pants, jackets, brown, beige, black and metallic stuff.

I'm not saying those styles are bad, but it feels like the same idea over and over again just with a different color or print.

Avakin is supposed to be a fashion game. Where is the variety?

And then there are events where you already pay for VIP but still need to buy another ticket or special item if you want certain rewards.

I'm sorry but no. I'm already paying monthly.

VIP should actually feel like VIP. Better discounts, more Crowns, better rewards, maybe let us choose monthly items instead of giving everyone the same thing. They could even bring back old Coin Pack clothing and let VIP players choose something from that.

But honestly the bigger problem is that the game itself is getting boring.

It feels more and more like:

new release → buy Crowns → buy items → wait for the next release

Where is the fun in that?

I don't expect everything to be free. Obviously the game needs to make money. But there needs to be a balance.

If you're raising the prices all the time, then raise the value of VIP too.

Because right now I genuinely don't see what I'm paying for anymore.

Can we please stop with the excessive monetization?

Can we please talk about how out of hand the monetization has become?

The extremely high Crown prices are getting ridiculous, especially when so many releases are permanently recolored or reuse the same meshes, clothing themes, and styles. At this point, a lot of these items simply do not feel worth spending money on anymore.

The color palettes are another issue. So many releases seem to be beige, white, black, or neon. And when neon colors are used, they often feel random rather than actually styled into something fashionable. I would love to see more interesting, tasteful, and varied color combinations again.

And what happened to Coin items?

There are barely any new releases anymore that can be bought with Coins at an actually affordable price. I want good-looking items that cost around 600–700 Coins, maybe 1,200 Coins for something more detailed — not everything constantly becoming more expensive.

The same applies to houses and apartments. Properties that once cost around 599, 699, 799, or 1,299 Coins should not suddenly cost several times their original price. I am simply not going to buy an apartment that now costs five times what it used to.

Please also stop changing older items that were originally sold for Coins into Crown items. That does not feel fair to players who remember how those items were originally priced.

Animation Sets are another example. I have noticed some of them going up to 305+ Crowns now. That is a very easy no from me. I am not paying that much for an Animation Set, and I doubt I am the only person who feels this way.

I also really want Coin bundles back, like the Zodiac series you used to release. Not everything needs to revolve around Crowns.

The monetization is becoming more frustrating with every update, and judging by the amount of criticism from other players, I am clearly not alone.

If you want people to continue spending money on Avakin, then please make the prices more reasonable, give Coins value again, release genuinely affordable Coin items, and actually listen to the community.

Players are much more willing to spend when they feel like they are receiving fair value. Constantly raising prices and putting more and more content behind Crowns is eventually going to push people away from the game instead.

For me they're relationship is my absolute roman empire, and honestly I swore to myself to try (if I ever get sons) for them to have an similair brotherhood....both of them especially Aegon are having my full heart, and I am not team black, also I kinda wish I would have such an brother like this, i wish.

Who should have ended up on the iron throne? Who did deserve it more than anyone else?

I did an small experiment over the past 3-4 weeks where I join every server where the newbies are often, not one single "greeter" or "master greeter" not one, do the devs know that the most of them are parading their badges on Instagram but when it comes to be present and take over the responsibility the badge brings with them ingame they ignoring you fully, happends 2 to me after asking a basic question they SHOULD answer when it comes to the program rules, I was shocked when they only talked to the people ingame theyre befriended with or are higher levels, I was level 7-10 back then and wantend to test this myself, I also think that the devs could be more consistent and strict with what responsibility each badge brings with it and enforce this, i also would love to see some of them losing that badge because parading the badge around like they where the biggest avakin influencer is better than to take up the responsibility of their job, if they cannot do this then why do another "useless" program? No seriously to the devs you need to take back up the string and take away some of those badges openly so those little beans will wake up and do their job.

This is mostly for the devs here, I noticed awhile ago that when a new badge is released, or that proplem with mango the dog that there is an lack of proper informative communication what honestly is "concerning" me, we are paying for packs, we are paying for VIP and so on but somehow the communication and explanation towards the not so famous community members is simple as it is not there or here, and they could do that aloot better in here via special thread or on Instagram with an good non AI generated post, also the misunderstanding we once had of the meaning of special badges like "Greeters" etc. And what theyre allowed to do and what not (community based) could be done much better, I dont want to spam an official employee on Instagram with all those questions permanently.

Do you need to advertise or promoting you're work via link from Kofi on other platforms to make actual sales or does it work without?

Honestly I do not necessarily care if theyre using AI or not but ill do care about the quality of the AI generated images, ill do care if AI can look good but theyre not using the full potential of the AI tool theyre using, will i be disliked for posting this? Yes. Do I care? Absolutely no. Before I continue if theyre using AI or not is their decision alone NOT YOURS or OURS, its none of youre business how they creating they're posts, but what should be criticized is the quality I mean THE quality of it, also before you all come after me ill use AI for myself since years prompting takes ALOT of time, ALOOOT sometimes even hours to get the most perfect output image or video, its not THAT easy like you imagine and im Honestly tired people thing that it takes not even 3 min it takes longer every single time, even more if you want to achieve an high end quality up until to 8k without the extra hands and fingers (what only happens if youre using an free version of an tool or the lowest subscription after my experience) so before you judge avakin for using AI or anyone else, SIT DOWN and try it yourself. Im not joking, Try it. AI Artist's are Artist's end of the argument.

They're failing the game, thats why...also i dont know if anyone noticed but the clothing ingame store? Repeating themselves over and over again, same colour palette, same style no creativity, no customization and uniqueness, thats for sure one of the main reason people leave the game, THE creativity is gone, theyre using AI in the crown packs promotion banner and dont even do it well, I have almost 5 years of experience YOU can do well with AI if you know how, they simple do not care, they go the easy way, the lazy way....but when is enough? When do we finally realize this game will be landing in an trash cane if the players not doing anything? Avakin life has so much potential but theyre absolutely do not use it, they rather keep staying in their comfort zone.

.

Im asking myself every single time when I look at the new releases, WHERE is the Quality? WHERE are the colours? (No i do not mean the awful neon colouring they have given us) WHERE are the different style directions like Gothic, Fairycore, Hippie, Clean Girl etc? you can do so so much i mean for what does pinterest exist? For what do we have brains? Creativity? Im so tired of all this repeating of events, petkins, poses, clothing, accessories the non stop recolouring and the monetization ingame.

.

Also I DO NOT pay 305+ crowns for an animation set OR an dance i mostly will never use, I was shocked when I say those hilarious pricing.

My male cat is 2 years old. About 2 weeks ago I noticed something was off with his ribcage — bumps on each side. I took him to the vet, and 2 days ago she diagnosed kidney cysts. His kidneys are swollen. She wanted to do a blood test to check for kidney failure, but I decided against it for now — I was too stressed and shocked in that moment to make a decision I'd feel good about (I have autism, and sudden medical stress like this hits me hard). I may revisit that decision once I've had more time.

I believe this is likely inherited from one of his parents, since it doesn't seem to line up with anything else in his life or environment.

A few things I'm hoping to hear about from people who've gone through this with their own cat:

1. Heat as a trigger? It's been an intense heatwave here (since good 3 months barely any rain), and my gut feeling is that the heat put extra stress on his kidneys and made this become visible/symptomatic now. Has anyone else noticed a heat connection?

2. Food and weight gain. He won't touch the prescription kidney food (duck flavor) or the food I give my other cats, but he eats a low-protein chicken paste really well. Not sure if it's the duck flavor he dislikes or something else. I'd love tips on getting some weight back on him and keeping the swelling down as much as possible.

3. How did it go for your cat? Better, worse, stable? I'd really value hearing real stories, even hard ones, from people who've actually lived this.

A bit about him so you know who I'm asking for: he has the most unique personality — total cuddle bug, gives head bumps constantly, but hisses and growls if you hold him too long (very much on his own terms). We still go on our late evening walk together and he still wants to, even though I can tell he tires a little faster now. His coat still looks good and he's still very much himself.

He's my soul cat and I'm not ready to lose him. Any experience, tips, or hacks are welcome.

As soon as I entering an house/room who was once haunted or still is i got mostly an headache (sometimes even after one min after I entered) its around my ears and my temples (always) sometimes it moves or changes position, I honestly dont know what this could be and how to react since its something who is more new, I see ghosts sometimes very clearly in the corners of my eyes but mostly the more anchored ones, I also sense immediately when theyre good and when theyre bad, I also grew up seeing the typical shadow figures in the corners of my eyes, I stopped seeing them over a year ago all of the sudden, instead I see them with my inner eyes (what ChatGPT means is an mild form of Clayvorance) ohh and nauseous and dizziness are becoming a part of it when I was in this building or room for over 3-5min....i really need help from someone cuz I simple are to inexperienced.
