Someone else in this thread mentioned this:

"The only restriction is on people who are over 7 days old who are not subscribed and you are only 2 days old as I post this."

Is this true? If so, I might re-think my intent to subscribe...man, that's just wrong. Get some more server power or something to support the additional users, but coming down on folks who don't have a subscription seems petty (if it's true).

I mean, I get the need to guarantee subscribers no delays, but if you're having so much trouble that non-subscribers can't enjoy the site then just require a subscription to play period. And if there's a policy in place making it harder for non-subs to play after 7 days, then I doubt I'll buy that membership I was considering. It just seems petty, like I already said. Thanks.

I've afraid it's true Saul. A new playing restriction has been set in place for people who are both
a) Not subscribed
b) Over seven days old
But, they CAN play unless there are over 60 people logged on. This has been set in place because many unsubscribed players have been slowing down the servers and increasing traffic to the point where subscribers are having difficulty managing to play their 10 cases. This restriction is meant to increase server performance and to satisfy the demands of the subscribers - who pay to play. All you have to do is subscribe, and this restriction won't apply to you. And that's pretty fair.

Saul Ramone was a detective who didn't like making decisions with a gun held to his head. With a heavy heart he packed up his office and stepped out onto the dark, desolate street in search of a new home. Thanks for the 3 days of fun.

Ahh, Saul, "more server power" costs money. That's why we have subscriptions. Sleuth is a game, but it is also a business. We try our hardest to make Sleuth available (and it is!) for those who do not pay for a subscription, because we like the idea of everyone having a chance to enjoy Sleuth.

Making Sleuth available only to subscribers would truly be petty, not to mention a terrible business strategy.

I'm sorry but I don't think it's that unfair. It's not that much money. At the end of the day it's priorities and what you decide to spend money on.
Why should people who pay have slow access?

I know that sometimes people are strapped for cash. Believe me, I know what's it's like when things are tough.

But work and you save and your prirotise.

Like someone worked out, it's 10c a day.

Now, before you starting whining about paypal, you can send the money through the post.

I was in Korea, spoke little Korean, had to change Won to USD and then send it through the post.

And did I complain? No. Because I wanted to play.

The choice is yours. If you want to play whenever you like, you sub.

Now, if you have a computer and internet access or acess to these, you're one of the wealthiest people in the earth.

Also, while you bemoan the fact that's it's "unfair" or "petty", think of those all those who died while you read this. Died of preventable diseases, died of hunger and died because people can't spare a little money for them.

I think that's unfair and petty.

Whatever you say. If that helps sell subscriptions, so be it. To me it comes across as a bit desperate.
