Hi
I understand its human nature to become bored and want something new but why do so many after a year or two and alot of daily effor just give up! I have my own idea, after months or years of effort they realise that other than having a bigger city they haven't progressed anywhere, in fact everythings slowing down and each chapter is becomming a bigger drag than the one before and they think they will never catch the folks that already had a million points when they joined and they say to themselves, why am i wasting my time on a game thats no longer fun, plus has the never ending pressure to do well in the tournament, spire, FS adventure. Then theres the ranking system which obviously favours the ones that have been playing the longest.
I know there are challenges to provide a game that suits new and old players equally but i think its the feeling of no progression and that they will never get anywhere near the top 100 that makes most give up. Leagues were introduced for Events so why not introduce ranking for periods of time, yearly or six monthly, call them seasons or whatever, not everyone can be in the overall top 100 but players can be for the season they joined maybe. It would give players a sense of achievement and share a little bit of ackowledgement for effort put in, that they did ok compared to other players for their season and maybe keep their interest, give them a realistic target to aim for. Elvenar already has all the data for each player so it shouldn't be too much work to make these extra ranking boards.
