Is Anybody Taking a stand?

There was a lot of buzz recently about an Avakin boycott. Avakin has been high balling prices on items left and right lately, and many of its gamers are fed up. So much so that they had formed a movement called “Avakin Boycott”. Supporters of the boycott were to sign a petition on change.org as well as avoid making purchases for 3 months in the Avakin shop. We attempted to contact both LKWD and Boycott leader (Aspyn Obscurity) to get both sides to the story. LKWD was unavailable for comment, and Aspyn was going to meet with us until she announced that she has called off the boycott and deleted her Instagram page, due to the harassment of other Avakins.

There was one person available for comment and this is what she had to say: Because of the price hike, I've lost all interest in decorating which actually was the #1 reason I even joined Avakin Life. I quit decorating and favored going to public apartments instead, but even that, and other things like tapjoy and bartending, all have lost their appeal because I find I'm working too hard to get at some of the nice new items. What good are having these for sales when even high level players struggle like noobies?! What's the point of Avakin Life anyway? I work my tail off to make a living. Didn't think I had to do the same for my " entertainment"! --Niyobi121

What’s With All Of The Censoring?

So.... Many of you have noticed that LKWD has tightened up it’s leash on censorship lately. They only used to censor foul language, and the word “pass”, and the word “IMVU”...you could forget about even trying it. Avakins were able to use foul language in the comforts of their apartments, as long as it was set to private. But all of that has changed. Recently the LKWD’s had spoken about the possibility of there being an age verification process for the price of $20, which allows all Avakins ages 17+ to have the option of having their age verified and being able to view more mature content within the app. Many Avakins find the price tag of this process to be pretty steep, considering that IMVU only charges $5 for their age verification process. Many suspect that Avakin just wants to pocket the remaining $15. However, since this “age verification” talk started, there has been a drastic change in the censorship policy, and wow....it is extreme!! Avakins are frustrated that they cannot communicate properly, because words that absolutely hold no vulgarity are being censored. Avakins are now unable to say “Instagram”, “WhatsApp”, and “KiK” without their entire sentence being censored. This is going a little too far, especially with Instagram, because every post that an Avakin places on Insta = Free advertising for AvakinLife. So if it’s not broke, why does it need fixing LKWD?? Pretty soon Avakins are not going to be able to speak to each other at all. There is reason to believe that this a tactical move by LKWD to force Avakins to purchase the Age Verification feature. Either that or they are purposely destroying the app. Wake up Avakin.. You are going to lose your gamers!!!!!

So we sat with Kong 到 •IDGΔҒ• interviews him, and here is what to know about Kong. He has been an editor for a few months, and says,”he is not like other editors that change everything in the game.” He uses a good angle, and draws a little bit, to make an affect, and adds a filter. He is also addicted to all Superhero things. He is the leader of the •IDGΔҒ• Family.

Edit submitted by Kong 到 •IDGΔҒ•

Kong states that has a purpose. They play AvakinLife for FFM (fun, fashion,music). They also dress by a decided theme every Sunday. When asked what impact does he and his family have on the Avakin Community? He answered,” We just want to share our fashion and music style with the community.”
