Pretty much I have played this game for a year and unless your willing to put out $100. Yes $100 of dollars a week you'll never get anywhere and if you do it's extremely hard to figure out what the heck to do next there are no directions no way to message inhouse to other players it's beautiful but old and no updates in the last year to fix anything. You have to watch so many adds and spend so much and still I can't get into the top groups or get costumez it's really messed up!!!
