What set this game apart from others was extremely active admin.. personable, and professional.

We were getting updates (content) what seemed like daily. Now it's few and far between. We were very well taken care of in the past with just content overload. Either the coding for updates is just taking so much longer, the ideas are washing up, or admin is actually busy with other stuff.

Gang wars again need to be recoded, reworked.. something. Apparently we have the attention span of a newt. Even the huge warring gangs have just plain stopped. Beating someone's hideout is just not the same anymore, as almost anyone can take anyone with just the slightest planning.

Gang upgrades became less desirable, due to diminishing returns.. Each member in a 20+ member gang has to EACH spend thousands and thousands of AP (which would be millions of potential cash) on gang war strikes.. just for a +1 GCR.

Gangs have stopped growing due to the cost of bigger gangs (which is good) however, also due to a shrinking player base (very bad).

All good things have a lull in them, and this by far has been one of the biggest train/attack/skill/career grind-eras I have been a part of.

We just need more players, which means more donating from big donators to aid in advertising, and many many more referrals.. But, there is the rub, I am not going to refer a friend when it appears no one has been behind the steering wheel for a few months.

Admin has been busy, and hopefully there is a remedy in the works, what is going on right now is definitely not good IMO. I will continue to play as much as I can, and continue my regular donating in hopes that in doing so, my player can get bigger and stronger, and some of my cash will go back to the advertising arm of the game.

All in all, this game is still tops. I just fear we may have been spoiled early on. Nothing replaces admin activity though. One of the MAJOR reasons I ever kept going in this game.
