Said I would think about the first and what would be a good change and that I don't auction off items anymore, because some old TT/MT hardly went over the starting bid, some even not at all, so there was no demand and that I read that some people don't spend FC on these items, because they relied on me to sell them for food in the market, which was not the point of this idea.)

I'm actually glad you said that, It really pissed me of at the time.

I spent ages looking for items over paying for them etc;

Only to have other people then get them for hardly anything,
not only that the users who I got some of the items of then re-got the item I got of them for hardly nothing.

... that and people who kept reselling my FC's
I crashed the market so many times and same users kept re selling them.
Made me so angry at the time.

Be honest it was half the reason why I quit,
the other half I wasn't enjoying myself any more and wanted to try other things.
Plus got new job that was very demanding.

I was also finding it hard to keep up with the treasure trove items,
it was so hard to buy spares so I could trade with people.
There was way to many.

At the time I didn't want to say anything because I would be seen as
"jealous or bitching or over reacting" and I didn't want people to think I left in a rage or anything.

As I really did enjoy myself so much and I love my stuff and the site.
I just always wanted to say this and just had the chance haha

I'm over it anyhow, I don't hold grudges and stuff; Life way to short.
And its not anyone's fault really, just how it goes.

Anyhow I think your hardest problem at the moment is to get new people.
I know what your issue is to, the site needs to be mobile and tablet friendly.

The "new generation" I'm going call it haha

Are glued to tablets and there phones, I find the site quite hard to type on with my phone, I don't even try with my tablet. Over half of people don't even have a computer any more.

Kids these days unfortunately are all app based, needs to be easy access / don't want to work to hard for it / push button "does lots of things at once" haha

I don't think there an issue with what you already have, It's just low player base that is killing you right now.
Which of course is going to push prices up on everything and be lack of certain items.

I been finding it very hard to chat with users over past few days, replies are slow and few between.

beat that and you'll be fine...
x^ x

For the future though;
I think though, what was said yesterday in wrong chat area about the
1 / 1000 chance to get a older item or even "2008 - 2010" item or something.

I can't begin to tell you how many games I've played where I got carried away paying for that chance.

I even played games where if you were willing to "grind away" you could even make the item in game to get a chance to do this.

Although it could take you months, people who couldn't pay where still happy because there was still a way.

Also I'm surprised after all these years you haven't introduced a monthly prescription where you pay I dunno 5$ very 30 days or something and get like 2k food everyday if you log daily to collect it?

Or just bonus stuff like "starter pack"
$10
comes with knuffel
Red n blue pills
Day coupons
10k food
1 fc
set of clothes

You can only buy it once.
Make it limited time to get it, like "special offer first week only when you join"
kinda thing?

You can just make packs anyhow like
"$10.00" random chance for old knuffel
er
$25.00 for random old TT set from 2015- 2018

$5.00 for a random any 1 item:
10% for shop item, 5% chance for MT or TT
1% for old old awesome item kinda thing

Just throwing random stuff out in my head. haha
