Level 3

Level 3 achieved at 560 XP.  At Level 3 you are "Apprentice Pint Puller" and receive one (1) Dapper Cash.  You can also purchase Ramblers (snack), Old Scrumpy, Monkey Tea and Bludd (drinks).  To get to Level 4 you need to reach 1020 XP.

Level 2.  Still.  In the past 24 hours my pub has served 10 customers and earned 10 coins.  The door to the pub has been open the entire time.  This is one of the MAJOR glitches I've noticed w/Pub Life.  On occasion (about 25% of the time) you can purchase a drink item that may take, say, 12 hours to mature and when you come back in 12 hours it's only matured 1 hour. How do I get it so that the put stays "active" even when I'm away?

Levels 1 and 2

I've created a new FB account with only Pub Life as the app.  This way I can start from Level 1 and make notes as I proceed.  Many of you are beyond (far beyond) Level 1 but I thought I'd start at the beginning for those new to the game.

Level 1 is basic.  Four chairs, one table, 3 bar servers.  It will ask you to stock the bars.  Being Level 1 you only have two (2) options; an 11-hour "Cheeky Gitmo" and a 3-minute "Doggy Days' brew.  I do NOT recommend purchasing the 11-hour brew at the get go.  Eleven hours is a long time to wait for that brew to be ready and you can serve many other types of ales/snacks as you level up.  So I put all three of my counters with Doggy Days and as I accrued some points then moved up to the 10-minute brew, which is unlocked at Level 2.

Note:  If you click on the pub sign you can change the picture (some are free, others cost pub $) and you can also change the name of your pub.  You don't have to keep it named The Ape and Apple.

Note: As you hover over chairs, tables, bar servers, wall hangings, etc., if they turn red it means they need cleaned.  CLEAN THEM!  It will toss out coins and XP.

Note:  Make sure  your pub door is OPEN of your customers won't be able to enter your establishment!

I have just leveled up from 1 to Level 2. This will allow you to post to your feed so neighbors can benefit from 500 coins & 50 XP.  Level 1 was 0-200 XP.  From what I gather (my math is sometimes fuzzy) it takes 560 to get to Level 3.  When you level up to Level 2 you are the "Taproom Trainee" and you get 2,000 coins and are able to buy Karlheinz (that 10-minute ale) and Jimmy Toffee Apples (snack).  It says Mince Pies and Trick or Treats but I don't see them on the menu so I think that refers as to gifts you can give to neighbors.

NOTE: Every once in a while when you clean your furniture you'll come across a wall hanging, pool ball, cup, etc., these items are used for building electronic dart boards, pool tables, cappuccino machine, etc.  You will notice a vertical column along the left that gives you a % of how much you have completed for these items.  I have heard from many that if you place the item on the floor BEFORE you have all of the required parts the pieces won't drop randomly when you clean tables, bars, etc. So I would recommend that you leave them until you have 100% of the parts.

Out for now.

Welcome to Pub Life

Greetings!  I have decided to start this Pub Life blog (PubLifePlayers.blogspot.com; http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4216727419365621355#editor/target=post;postID=447958402722661266) in an effort to help Pub Life players of all levels - from newbies to advanced - but to also bring attention to the myriad problems within the game that the developers seem to have no inclination to address and fix.

My schedule is thus:  I am going to create a new FB account that will only have the Pub Life app.  I'm basically going to start from scratch and make notes as I play along.  One of the main complaints see to me that we don't know what new items/options we will get when we level up, i.e., when on earth do we get another bar server! Other issues including sending/receiving gifts, helping neighbors build games (i.e., electronic dart board, archery set, pool table, etc.).

Some links your might find interesting:

http://www.facebook.com/groups/245590545558586/ ~ This is the group for Pub Life players to find neighbors, vent about problems, etc.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pub-Life-Community/176916672349231 ~ The Pub Life Community on FB.  I haven't found it to be very helpful.

http://playdemand.com/ ~ The Web site of the Developer of Pub Life and some other games.  If you are looking for neighbors this is a good place, however, most people don't seem to understand that they have to copy/paste their FB URL into the post or we have no way of finding them.

And while I'm on that subject of finding neighbors am I the only one who has been blocked/banned for "x" number of days for sending friend requests to potential neighbors?  After all, THEY posted looking for neighbors and yet WE get in trouble for asking them to be our neighbor.  FB needs to seriously address this issue.

So here goes.  I'm going to create the the new FB account now and my aim is to keep this updated each time I experience a problem or have a question.

If you have neighbors on Pub Life I would suggest that you point them in the direction of Pub Life Neighbors (http://www.facebook.com/groups/245590545558586/) as it seems to be getting the most useful traffic.

Keep you posted!
