Highrise: Avatar, Chat & Play 17+

The game is not balanced

So I found this game a year or so ago, then found it again about a week now and decided to play it. I saw that you’re able to create a whole theme from scratch which caught my interest. After spending what little bubbles I had, I soon realised there’s no way for me to earn in game currency I decided to spend a little real cash and get some game cash to build my room. But just before I went ahead and make a purchase ( the starter bundle for £19) I thought why don’t I sell my unwanted stuff. And that is when I saw that you only all players sell their unwanted stuff for approximately 1% of the price they pay for their stuff. Most games I played allow players to sell back to the game for 40 to 70%. I honestly cannot spend real cash on the game if you’re not willing to be reasonable with its players. And for players who spend money on the game there should be a wheel of fortune they spin once a day for a chance to win bubbles or gold. It don’t have to be a lot. Cause those ways you have to earn gold just keep saying no offers today, and could you add something else to do cause when you’re not building a room you’re just standing there. At least add some jobs or something. ( don’t know if there already is) but dancing would be nice too. A part from those little problems nice game and cool avatars

Give it time

I joined HR over 2 years ago and have seen it all. But that doesn’t take away from all the amazing experiences I’ve had and all the incredible people I’ve met in my time so far. My advice for any new players is to not be discouraged by how little you have at the start, if you play your cards right and just invest a little bit of time each day into the game it’s more than worth the effort. Trust me. When I first joined I had nothing, there was no voice option, the edit avatar menu’s were all smashed together, there were no pets, land or creatures. Just myself, 2000 bubbles and a starter outfit. Push through and try not to focus on what everyone else has, this game is for YOUR journey. Now here I am as a founder of HRLive’s LGBTQIA+ sponsored crew, Prism, a Director of the Deja Vu Music Collective, I have an item in the game (a fathers day card celebrating MLM parents), friends that are always there to talk and so much more. On HR you don’t have to be as limited as you are in real life, the sky is the limit and even then you can float above that. As a disabled person HighRise is my escape, a way to feel normal in a world that doesn’t see me like that, that’s why I’m still here and will continue to be as long as the platform exists. Thank you HighRise for making me see my worth and giving me a space to be creatively unlimited!

Disappointed

I downloaded it a few days ago because it looked like a really fun social game and the avatars looked really cute. Started making my avatar and thought it looked nice, the clothes weren’t great but I thought I’d have some better ones once I started playing. I chose my room and then started the tutorial, I found it disappointing that it gives you a thousand bubbles but then forces you to spend it on a certain grab. It forces you to buy furniture you probably don’t want aswell instead of letting you choose from what’s in the shop. Once you complete the annoying tasks you’re left with about 2 thousand bubbles which isn’t enough to put a decent outfit together or build a nice room. Then after the tutorial you have to wait until the next day to get any more bubbles. I tried to ignore the lack of money and make friends so I went to join a crew but they all had really specific requirements to get in and I couldn’t meet any of them. Everyone on there had way cooler stuff than me so I went to see how much it cost to buy in game currency and it was far too expensive. I felt like I was the only new person on there and I had nothing decent in the game which was really disappointing. I tried talking to people but they didn’t seem interested unless I wanted to buy things from them that I couldn’t afford... it was really disappointing since the game looked amazing on the ad :(
