Avakin Life is turning into the worst version of itself. The management has become so greedy that they clearly don’t care about the players who kept this game alive for years.

The introduction of Crown destroyed the balance: now looking good is only possible if you pay, while free players feel completely unwanted. You’re pushing out loyal, long-term players, killing the atmosphere, and celebrating the fact that only those willing to spend hundreds of dollars remain.

Avakin used to be about meeting new people, joking around, hanging out, and playing mini-games like Fashion Contest or Hide and Seek. You could grind coins and gems, save up, and slowly build your dream avatar — there was at least some motivation to play. Now the entire “goal” of the game is to spend real money on clothes, stare at your avatar, stand silently in a room, and log off. Where’s the fun in that? Is the whole point now just flexing with virtual outfits? “Look, I have more money, so I look better”? That’s not gameplay — that’s discrimination against players who can’t afford to dump endless cash into a mobile app.

Yes, there are players who don’t mind paying, but what’s the point of throwing money at a game with no real depth anymore? Sooner or later, people will get bored, quit, and move on to something more fair and actually enjoyable. And what will be left of what was once a beloved life simulator?

Avakin is no longer about style and community — it’s about paywalls and toxicity. This isn’t growth, it’s pure degradation. Management clearly doesn’t care about the community anymore, puts profit above players, and even cuts down its own staff just to squeeze out more revenue.

With every update, you lose more players. The falling ratings and wave of backlash from veteran players are the proof right in front of you.

Stop embarrassing yourselves, Lockwood guys. Sell this game to people who actually know what it means to make games.

This is why all Eternity members must be blocked on sight. Corruption explained.

It's classic Avakin favoritism in action—Eternity Family (@officialeternityfamily) is basically LKWD's golden child! 😏

Recently a new A creator, Tattzncurlz_, joined the Eternity syndicate , and Eternity has deep official ties. Avakin Life promotes their recruitment, collabs on giveaways, and features their events (e.g., Sep 2025 prizes with @officialeternityfamily). Members like @klaus_eternity (2x Loved by LKWD: Jun/Aug-Sep) and @bea.eternity.ava (fresh creativity/APM Foxglove badge ~Nov 2025) are already elite.

Why the Sudden Rare Badge Surge? It's not random or talent—it's the insider network exploding: A-Creator Power-Up: A-Creators (via Global Creator Program) get direct Discord access to Creator Manager/Ambassador sessions. They nominate agency mates, tag group content in #AvakinPlayerMade reels, and whisper to mods during events. One A-Creator join = whole family boosted (e.g., Noar, an A-Creator/mod, called out for rigging).

Family Synergy: Eternity posts group videos/edits (e.g., dance challenges w/ @lou.sighs, @klaus_eternity) that flood official feeds. LKWD handpicks "teams" over solos—@maple.eternity, @nikki_eternity flexing recent wins.

Exposed Rigging: Reddit blows the lid off—"Why an A-Creator winning Loved by LKWD TWICE exposes the whole system." Quotes: "Same people or inner circle winning... effort goes unnoticed," "Pure favoritism—simple edits beat superior videos," "Rigged for years."

Families like Eternity/Dalmore/Verlac dominate ~70% cuz they're the "closed club." Bottom Line: New A-Creator = instant visibility rocket. Their status guarantees spotlights, pulling the agency into every Party Hub/LKWD pick. Normal players grind forever; elites win weekly. Community's quitting over it—LKWD knows but ignores. Proof in recent flexes: Foxglove APMs, creativity badges pouring in. Join 'em if you wanna win (DM @klaus_eternity), or ragequit like Reddit? 🚀😂

The corrupt elites laugh straight in the face of the thousands of players financially supporting Avakin Life, and LKWD lets them. A very dangerous path for a game relying on the purchases coming in from the thousands of mocked players.

We all know that certain creators and their friends harvest all rare badges. New creators do not stand a chance. Let's say no to corruption, by blocking all these corrupt players. Let them play alone!

In this tread we can post in game hashtags and friendcodes along with IG handles of corrupt players. Let's share our knowledge and clean up Avakin - Corruption does not deserve our time.

On Avakin Life's Discord, posts from greeters, "LovedbyLKWD" players, and A-creators get lots of upvotes and quick replies from LKWD staff, while most other players are ignored.

This selective engagement is part of a deliberate community management strategy: these groups are rewarded with exclusive badges and perks for promoting events, creating content, and serving as "unpaid intermediaries." In return, they defend game decisions, downplay issues like bugs or rigged contests, and dismiss critics as "ungrateful." By only replying to this small group, LKWD makes it look like they really listen to the community and care about player ideas. This tricks many players into thinking their voices are heard—when in truth, suggestions and complaints from regular paying players are mostly overlooked.

These favored players also have loyal fans and special badges that make their posts stand out, creating an echo chamber where everyone supports each other. Good ideas from ordinary players, especially ones that point out problems, often get downvoted or ignored.

This setup blocks real feedback, puts fake positivity first, and leaves many players frustrated as the game gets worse. In short, these special groups help hide the real issues and create a false image that LKWD truly "hears us."

Avakin Life is pulling one of the cheapest tricks in modern mobile gaming — and most players don’t even realize it.

For weeks, the company has pushed a loud “wishlist us on Steam!” campaign, teasing a mysterious badge as the reward. Influencers repost it, players rush to click it, and the studio sits back as free promotion rolls in.

But here’s the part they don’t say out loud: the badge isn’t for the players. It’s reserved for a private, 28-member “Steam Collaborators” inner circle — the studio’s own handpicked group.

The community is being used as unpaid marketing labor while the reward quietly goes to a closed club.

It’s manipulation dressed up as community hype. Blur the badge, hint at a prize, let everyone assume they’ll get it — and never mention that the public will get nothing. Not now, not later.

It’s the kind of move companies pull when a game is slipping and they need a quick visibility boost. Avakin isn’t building excitement; it’s draining its players’ trust for one more algorithm push.

If this is their idea of a “celebration,” the silence around the truth says everything.

Players deserve honesty — not tricks, not bait, not campaigns built on false hope. Right now, Avakin is betting the community won’t notice the lie.

They should. And they should stop wishlisting until the studio stops treating them like free advertising.

Lovedbylkwd is a badge thousands of new or lesser known content creators can only dream of receiving. Dream is the accurate term. In fact the LKWD team finds creators not belonging to their list of favorites so unworthy, that the LKWD team rewards the same favorites repeatedly. Here's a list of block-worthy LKWD favorites:

@avk.katie: June + August/September 2025 @avkn_behrupiya: March + April 2025 @banano.avk: December 2024 + April 2025 @deeluxxgaming: January + July 2025 @elma_avk: January + October 2025 @klaus_eternity: June + August/September 2025 @myrtille.avk: July + August/September 2025 @penelope_catz: March + July 2025 @puttziecatz: March + July 2025 @ronyy.av: May + August/September 2025 @sergio.avkn: June + October 2025

I stumbled across this site that lists every Avakin item as soon as the game files update.

You can check what’s new, what hasn’t been released yet, and filter by date range, cost, currency, or VIP to see the prices all in one place. Here is the link: database.avakin.net https://database.avakin.net

Just thought I would share since it’s public/free and this usually wouldn't be approved in the official sub. Ps; If you like knowing what’s coming before it hits the official shop, definitely bookmark it to check whenever. :)

I was "kicked" out from their discord and official reddit for something that I didn't do.

The first time I posted, I used the term "predatory" as referencing their money hungry behavior. The context is there, but I was still punished for it, as the moderator told me to repost it without the use of that word (predatorty).

Yes, it is predatory, when you harm someone, as they've been harming for making some players spending a living wage every month in the game. Whales (high-spending players) always existed, but they keep copy pasting items, selling them way more than it should to keep those whales spending, and making dolphins (players who spend a moderate amount of money) now spending almost the same as whales and some of them also turning into whales because of addiction and nostalgia.

Then, I reposted it. I even fixed and added some of the text body. This time, I changed the word "predatory" for "money hungry", as it couldn't lead to any other meaning. I added way more stuff, suggesting change, etc.

The post was taken down again. And now, because of a 2 times strike, I couldn't post anymore and got silenced.

Now, as you can see, I got punished for breaking the "rule mod". That's not true.

I didn't re-post, promote, I didn't discuss. I reported what was happening, dozens of players reporting that they were robbed because of those third party apps that are filles with viruses.

And, if I did any of those, I couldn't still be able to be punished, as a moderator didn't mention it in the first time. I didn't add that part, it was already there. The moderator gave me a hard pass, telling me to repost it, so that the post would be taken down again.

The company loves some censorship, they silence their players/clients because they can't stand how we are frustrated with their new currency (crowns), their money hungry change of plans (inflation, money conversion, vip bodies) and more money hungry behaviors such as taking advantage of FOMO (vip rewards that could be purchase, like theres a lot of games doing such as similar like Overwatch with the mythic skins), and the usage of AI (to spend less, dragging the quality to the lowest and being hypocrites while they promote a "Save the Planet" shop category).

IT'S NOT OKAY to have a game with outdated base models while they revamp old items to sell it for a expensive price.

It's NOT OKAY how in one random day a huge ammount of items that were being sold as 500 avacoins were changed to now being sold for 220 crowns or 20,000 avacoins.

It's NOT OKAY, to 1 out of the 20 new items be avacoins (and when it is, has a big quality difference from the crown new items).

It's NOT OKAY how they bucks to coins converstion got nerfed even thought crowns currency were coming in the game and the avacoin currency would be limitated like the gems currency is.

It's NOT OKAY to take advantage of players mental health and feeding FOMO, knowing the harm.

It's NOT OKAY to promise items (bodies) to be available for the whole player community and then make them only available temporarly to be paid after months of the players waiting for them.

It's NOT OKAY to use AI because of lazzyness while being another company that is damaging the enviornment knowing the harm they're doing and promoting apps that are not safe for their public.

It's NOT OKAY to silence their players/clients for talking about the issues of the project and the company.

And it's NOT OKAY for the players to accept this behavior.

This game is going to end and the servers will be shot down while the company has enough money on their pockets.

New players are rare, it's almost always an old player using a secondary acc. No one wants to join a game that is outdated and expensive. It pushes possible new players away when there's games with a better market such as IMVU.

FIXAVAKIN.

PS: Add me in the Game G1P-YHF put the words "VivaLaVida" inside of youre # so ill know its someone from this reddit group, I will change my friendcode in 5H.

Is it just me or is there a bug in some of the locations. I cannot complete the tasks on the following gods; Aphrodite, Hades and Apollo. I was able to complete Hermes, and the Steps of Olympus.

Am I missing something? Or is it the game?

TIA 😊

Hi! My name is Anna, and I run a roleplay group on Avakin life!!! I’m looking for more players!

Pls follow our avakin ig @the_avakin_rp if you are interested! All our roleplays are posted there, and we switch them up every once in awhile. There is something for everyone!

We’d be happy to have you!!! :)

Lately I’ve noticed how badly Avakin’s support is working. Before they responded in less than a day, but when I reported a serious case of harassment I am still waiting for a miserable response.

And I’m not the only one: there are a lot of people saying the same thing. I’ve read players who say “They closed the ticket without a response” or “I’ve been waiting since the 8th and no response”. Someone even wrote “Don’t depend on Avakin to respond... I’ve been trying to contact you guys for two years and nobody is answering.”

In other words, it is not just an isolated case. The support is not doing anything and many end up leaving the game because of that.

On top of that, the moderators only respond to the posts that suit them and delete the others, as if they didn’t want people to say what’s really going on. I need you to answer because I want an answer to all this

And to be honest, Avakin no longer feels the same. They are only interested in squeezing money from us. The crowns are very expensive, and every week they make sure to get new clothes or accessories to sell, but real content or interesting updates... nothing.

The game is more dead than ever. Bugs bugs and more bugs is the only new thing in this game. They didn’t even release anything really new on Halloween.

And the saddest thing is that there are a thousand ways to improve this, but they prefer to do nothing.

This report was removed from Avakin's official reddit for spreading misinformation and rumors. The findings are valid and are not based on rumors and accusations, but on empirical data collected from 1500 rare badge winner posts dating from 2020-2025. The findings show a clear overlap in winners and repeated winners. The most frequent winners are players already in possession of multiple rare badges, while only 9% of all winners are new or independent creators. Sources are listed on the last three pages of the report, and they are all publicly accessible.

Make yourself a lovely cup of tea and dive into the report. Pause the video along the way for a comfortable reading speed. Feel free to share.
