I have a couple of questions I'd like some feedback on. Please Answer by replying to this post.

1) Is the game fun? Really fun, kind of fun, funner than going to the dentist?

2) Can you think of anything that would make the game more fun?

3) Is the game too hard? Too easy?

Thanks

As far as mystery or detective games (very few of either out there) this has kept my attention for almost 6 months now! I usually go play 20 different games a day, and get bored easily, so thanks for a beautifully captivating game where we can choose to go solo or work with others(and what a great sense of teamwork here, too bad RL couldn't learn how you do it)

My only question, then is even though I have many skills accrued, and experience points as well as contacts, I still find it very hard to solve the AI cases without almost taking the leap at an "educated" guess....is this intentional, being AI? I have been holding off on villain hunts, because I have already "retired" a few detectives taking those chances alone. In an agency you have help, but not for AV hunts. Or should I just keep tucking away extra $$ for shady while I save $$ for an AV hunt?

Overall, I love this game, and love that this game is constantly expanding, making it something that you can really build and grow with throughout. Thanks to all involved, and happy sleuthing! :)

Hi Aubrey, I was only able to solve maybe 60 to 70 percent of the AIs I tried to do, when I first started doing the AV Hunts as well. I say, go ahead and give it a try, because it doesn't matter how long it takes you to do one, or how many cases you have to quit. I know one person who just finished one hunt after two months!

Once you are able to finish a hunt successfully, you will get MUCH BETTER gear from the prince, which in turn will make your next hunt/round of AIs so much easier. The more villains you catch, the easier the AIs become.

I actually started hunting when I didn't have all my contacts either, so it's definitely possible to still catch a villain.

My other advice is when you are unsure don't guess. Ever. Even if it is your last case of the day, and you are down to two people and you are 99% sure... cause you could be wrong. I'm not sure what your shady cost is right now, but it gets really high, really quick. The last one was almost $650,000 for me. And I'm sure it's much higher now, as that was months ago.

So go try hunting! It is such a great element to the game!

The game is loads of fun! I agree that you are brilliant!

The only glitch that I see, is that the Shady character seems to ask for a lot of money. I think there should be a way to cut his prices in half. Maybe it could be an added skill?

Keep up the great work! Thanks :-)

There already is a way to get a cheaper Shady rate, in fact, there are two!

Really, Jojo? Look out for my P.M.

Well, then I guess the game is pretty perfect :-)

Do tell us the 2 ways for cheaper Shady npc. :)

Both involve being subscribed Holmes.

Ask someone for a sidekick coupon and come on in, the Sleuthing is great.

Great fun.

2) Can you think of anything that would make the game more fun?
I can only think of one right now - Improve the lag of the website. Lag makes me sleepy and bored.

3) Is the game too hard? Too easy?
It's good

It's a wonderful game and I can't wait until I subscrbe some time in April! I just have one complaint. Un-subs can't go on when there's more than 70 people. Can you update the server to make that at least 80? Thanks! Oh, one more thing. I'm working on a featured mystery but I can't write it unless I log in and I can barely log in. Can you make it possible to have that editor without being actually "logged in" per se?
