Palace Rule (蓝颜清梦全球版‪)‬ 12+

OK so I don’t usually write reviews but this felt necessary. I was attracted go to game because of the similarities to love Nikki just in an old style. It is what it is but no problem I have with this game is
1. Data saving issue. It is kind of sad that I have to make a third account and this is really a problem for people to spend money
2. Customer support. It’s nonexistent.
3. Now I don’t want to assume but for the people that lost their account in the group chat you Notice that there are people speaking what I believe is either Chinese or Mandarin. I Took a screenshot and translated it to find out that there are people selling accounts

First of all, I’d like to say the game is addictive and fun. There are many aspect that would make this a great game, but it isn’t, because of the greed of the developers. The game suggests you can rise up by play and skill alone, but this simply is NOT the case. The top players stay in the upper rankling like roads and never leave because they fork out thousands of dollars to be VIP 13/14 as this is the only way to stay on top. Everything costs a ridiculous amount of gold, and you never have enough so you are forced to pay for more gold in many different ways for just about everything, and it was designed that way. I’m guessing the developers make enough from the competing top players to justify this, but I feel bad for new or incoming players who will soon realize they will never make rankings without shelling out THOUSANDS of dollars irrespective of how well you play the game, as every skill can be bought and sold to artificially inflate game progress. They also nerd original gameplay like the wishing tree to make it less likely you’ll get good items, and as the few players advance the prices inflate as well. Just pure greed that’s obvious that nobody is even trying to hide…sad really. So much potential lost

The game is fun and addictive, but there are some things that should be fixed.
There are, or used to be, 2 versions of the same game in the app store to download. They looked identical except for the Chinese characters after the English title. The version without the Chinese is now not even shown in the store, but still active. If you have a problem with that version, you are in trouble indeed. If you think you can recover your game character and progress by downloading this version, that does not work. You have to start over from the beginning with a new character and all the progress and money invested are lost.
Which brings to to point 2. Customer service is non existent.
No help or response ever, so be aware of that if you want to play this game. And the greed of the developers is very evident.
This could be a great game, if the developers weren’t only after $$$ but also had the necessary support team that is needed to fix issues and help the players who (mostly) have invested quite a bit of money in this game.
