New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on January 01, 2021) follows:

Developed and published by Lockwood Publishing, Avakin Life is a 3D simulation game that allows players to create a virtual avatar and live the life they want.

Initially released in 2013, the game has more than 200 million registered players as of 2021 with more than 1 million players logging in every day.

The gameplay is pretty unique in the sense that it has no clearly defined objectives. Unlike other video games, players can choose their own path and do whatever they want to.

That being said, Avakin Life players are now reporting that some of their items have disappeared or are missing from the inventory.

It is a really serious issue since inventory is one of the most important parts of the game where players can see and make use of all their free and paid items such as clothes and hair.

My favorite blonde hair has disappeared from my inventory. I don’t remember the name of it to get a hold of them and let them know it’s gone. I don’t even have a picture anywhere of me wearing it to post here and see if anyone knows the name. Why can’t they just leave people’s stuff alone. Either tell people you’re removing something from their inventory and reimburse them what they paid for it. Quit trying to be sneaky about everything.

I restarted my game and several items of mine are missing 😐 There’s multiple pants, jewelry, shoes, dresses, etc that have been removed from my inventory, and idk the names of them since they’re now gone. How am I supposed to contact support about them if I don’t know the names of the items?

Taking a look at the user reports, we can clearly see that players are angry and frustrated and want the developers to bring back their missing items as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Avakin Life developers Lockwood Publishing seem to be aware of the issue and said that all missing items will be eventually returned to the user’s inventories.

Hello Avakins! Happy New Year! Unfortunately we are experiencing technical issues with player inventories along with the release of new items. Some of your items may temporarily appear as missing. We are no longer in need of Support tickets. We are working towards a fix for this problem. All of your items will be returned to your inventories, even unreported items. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and panic this may have caused.

Since they did not share any ETA on when the bug will be fixed, players might have to wait a few days before a patch comes out.

Update 1 (January 06)

01:26 pm (IST): The fix for inventory bug of Avakin Life is now live. And all the missing items will return to the inventory even the unreported ones.
