Lives all gone!!??

Mickeyat50

Hi, is there a problem with anyone else no longer receiving lives from their friends? I was getting lives quite frequently and now I’m not getting any at all for at least three weeks!!

Hello @Mickeyat50 there is and there isn't a problem with people not getting lives. The biggest issue seems to be that people's friends have stopped sending lives.

Have a look at the thread linked below that is a similar issue to yours.

When you are looking at the linked thread make sure you add me, @parlady99 & @Fieldheaven to your friends list by clicking on the shared friends links.

Hi Mickeyat50,

I think you (and many others) don’t get the lives because of the latest changes. Especially the fact that it is not possible anymore to give lives before starting or after ending a level because your friends aren’t visible there anymore. See this:

Alienscar,. I agree with what you told Mickey. I just don't know yet if my friends have stopped sending them or I am not getting them. Time will tell.

Are you still getting the ones I send you @parlady99? I think I sent four or five to you yesterday.

That is a good point @Fieldheaven. There are a lot of posts from people saying that they can no longer send lives. In fact these people can still send lives, but a lot of them don't seem to know that they can still send lives using their Profile. Problem is a lot of people just don't seem to want to send lives one by one.

Also from what I can gather some people have stopped responding to life requests as they think it is unfair to send lives to loads of people when they themselves can only receive 20-30 lives.

It is a real shame that people think this way as ultimately this means King wins

Hi thanks for comments. I’ve read up on this and King have stopped you sending lives because players are only allowed five lives a day from friends now!!! It’s just another way for them to get us to spend more money. I’m so done with this game now! To do this to players is unacceptable.

Where have you seen that information @Mickeyat50? As far as I know the number of lives you can receive depends on your Inbox life limit. The range is 3-50 I think as Inbox storage limits are 30-500 and the number of lives you can receive is 10% of your storage limit.

Look at the bright side of it @Mickeyat50. Gives you more time to do other things.

I do not spend 1 cent on the game. Still play it with much pleasure. King, like all companies, just wants to earn money. That is their good right. And hey, it is just a game.

Alienscar

Oh by the way @Fieldheaven I forgot to say it looks like the Send Lives button and the level rankings are being returned to the game.

Hopefully @parlady99 you will start to see more lives arriving in your again.

From comments on here and in the help section. It send it’s only 10 lives you can receive but you can’t give any lives at the moment so can’t receive any!!!
