MnF's wavering tone

The most important thing we noticed there, is gonna be the Apartament building. Which is, great news. After so long since it has been rumored, to finally make it inside the game. Even if, in the current state, which is, not opened. At least, we can see that it will happen. But, we would need more information, regarding the way they will work. Brandon said something about being implemented with some sort of rent system. And if this is gonna be the way you'd be able to use this apartaments, there should be at least some hints about the daily/weekly/monthly amount you'd have to pay for it. And of course, the most important aspect that I suppose is a curiosity for all, are they gonna be available for all users, or just the premium ones? Anyways, until then, we'll have to wait.

The next point I'd like to cover is The jail. Understood it's gonna be related to those which are banned. And, that means, we will be able to see which people are banned and such, or it's gonna be a place where the banned people will be able to log into the game. Which, from my point of view, would be an useless feature, since, if they got banned, it was for a serious reason. And, that means, their access it's forbidden to the game. So again, if that would be the case, Jail would prove useless. 

Instead, they could have chosen a Town Hall, with a Notice board outside, which would have been used like some sort of in-game news system, stating which people are banned and such. Also, this Town Hall could have been used to some extent, to provide guidance for those which are new into the game. With different informations regarding the in-game activities that are there, ways of earning money, locations, etc. Also, it could have a place which would be linked straight to the Forums and Twitter. Like a doorman, which would have a dialogue option, to send the user either to the Forums, either to Twitter. But, I've talked enough about this idea. And also, it could also have like some sort of development log, so we would know what the devs are working on at a given time.

And now, regarding the unfinished areas of the game. We all know about the Cabaret. It's been empty pretty much since the beginning of the game. I don't know exactly why, or if the devs have something big planned for it, but, they should take every area, and bring a finishing touch about it. The same with the Casino in the Oasis. We've waited a bit for it, it finally was opened, indeed, only with Slots Machines, but at least, it was a new activity. And a rewarding one, in the first day. Since then, you lose more than what you earn. So, it pretty much died. Hopefully the Blackjack/Poker tables will be implemented, and finally provide us with a steady source of income, especially for males. Yes, the first 2 days, it was pretty good, and seemed like a response to the female pole dancing. But at this moment the Slot Machines, are quite a risk, as you can lose all that you have. So, the males don't have a big source of income anymore. And I won't talk about the other ways. Talking strictly to what can you earn money through, in-game.

Anyways, I just covered a small part of what there is and will be available in game, now, and in the near future. It's just my opinion. I'm not having something against the developers. Since I know that this is a side activity for them, so I won't expect the impossible. What they've done until now, is amazing. It provides us with means of relaxation, and a place in which we could escape the real world for a while.


This has been what I had to say about this. If you'd take the time to read it, I'd appreciate it. If not, I won't mind. Anyways, thank you for your time.
With all due respect,

Overfiend: I agree with Vrook 100% and with all due respect to the Devs.  The Town Hall is a great idea.  More meaningful methods for males to make money in the game & unfinished area are critical issues.  Lastly i respect that the Devs are doing so much in their free time.  If i were in their shoes i'd want to make the most of my limited time.  So we're just trying to give some feedback so that they can do that. We want the Devs to get the maximum benefit for their limited time and in return we'll all share a great game
