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
-Ben

1) I too think the game is great.
3) It's ok. Not too difficult. May be there are a need of something more challenging when I get even more xp? But, that is not a problem yet.
2) I would desperately want a way of subscribing where I could choose for myself when to play few cases, and when to play many cases. Right now I have 6 subscribed sleuths, and are able to borrow a couple of more sleuths when I have the capacity, but even if I can play all the cases on a good day, and are even able to want more cases sometimes, it makes me consume much more time than I got on ordinary days. Also it's frustrating to remember who I am at the moment, and what the goals of this character are, and which city I am in an so on.
I know there are big discussions about this topic, but this rigidity about how many cases you are to do each day, in addition to some other factors, makes me sometimes think that I will just quit doing sleuth. I have tried to adjust to the current rules and situation by subscribing more sleuths, but it's actually not working too well for me. It's just nearly enough on days I am really gaming, making me not too satisfied then, and it's awful for me on days when I don't have the time. On such days I normally says to myself that I will have to stop with this. It's not good on good days, and it's not good on bad days... The rigidity of non-flexible # of cases-accounts makes me crazy.
I am convinced that if the will to look at this was present, there would be possible to find solutions that would be good for both types of players.
The solution would have to include some regulations on aging, competitions (AVL, Treasure Hunts), high-score-list-listings.
Also, at last, I would like some better server capacity. When doing a 6x subscription + 1 gift subscription, I think I have at least offered my fair share into the goal of getting better server capacity. So, please...?

I was thinking about this game, and its great and unique, but its probably the only game that you pay for playing but the owner of the game says how many time you can play.

Every game, you pay you play for how long you want. The admin should think about this.

1) Is the game fun? Really fun, kind of fun, funner than going to the dentist?
The game is fun, more fun than going to the dentist but not much fun as paintball. It could use a little spice such as being able to trade/sale items with other players or being able to drop your contact and earn a different one.

2) Can you think of anything that would make the game more fun? More fun would being able to actualy find a bargin item at Big Lucys and/or get a clue for solving a "Special Puzzel" for bonus/special item such as the ability to carry a third item or boost your archtype abilities/skills.

3) Is the game too hard? Too easy?
It seems to vary - at first it seems very hard but once you get some skills they get offset by working the harding cases. If it becomes too easy then you play till you burn out. Seems to me ppl are in just too much of a hurry. It would be nice to have a guage to tell you how many points you need to get your next point.

1) Follow up - Something I belive would add tremendous fun would be to allow you Rent a room at the local hotel and this give you a room to store 1 item. (of couse this would have to

2) Follow up - As for the clamming of Townines and suspects - add an option to unclam them by either doing them a favour of some kind (charm) or rough them up (tough). Of course using these would incur a penelty like having to share part of you pay or lose of one of your items.

3) Follow up -A meter/gauge to tell you how many XP's till you get your next Skill Point.

1) Definitely more fun than the dentist. Funner than other games I have played.

2)
a) I like the limit on number of games. Keeps me from being obliterated by people who have more time to play than I do. (Especially since you do track high scores.)
b) I do think that Shady gets WAY too expensive to fast. Especially since it increases every time you VISIT him. Maybe you can at least change it so it only increases every time you PAY him! I have gone in a little short on money and then need to have an extra couple of grand when I come back. Ouch!
c) I would like some more information on how hard it is to earn Contacts somewhere. Just so I can figure out if I really do stink at that . . .

3) I think the game is pretty balanced as far as Easy/Hard so far. I am currently attempting AI and having to struggle. That's OK. I like the fact that every time I move up a level I'm struggling for awhile. Keeps things interesting!

Actually, Miss D, Shady's prices increase every time you solve a case, not every time you visit him. Sorry. We all have to deal with him, and yes, very few of us like him. Unfortunately, he's part of life here at Sleuth.

You earn contacts by doing favors. Favors should come after successfully completing every three cases. Once you've done this, look at the tab that the Townies have about 'Ask (this person) if they need a favor done', and it should tell you whether or not you have completed enough cases yet, and who is looking for you. Contacts come randomly, so be patient. There's lots of information on the boards about this, especially in the Newbies section, so you may want to look there, or do a search if you need more help.

1) It's great, you don't see games like this that offer may different features.

2)I like it the way it is. Personaly I like doing different jobs that are included in law. Course that's not the spirit of the sleuth game!

3)I'm not very judge full, so I can't really say

Thanks for the info on Shady - now I get his pricing system. Although I still think that I am putting his 17 children through Yale!

I get the Favors, it's the contacts that are driving me nuts! Of course, after I posted this, I went to New York again and got a contact with my first favor.

1) I think it is fun... Not Canel your date on friday fun, but fun
2) There are little things, like maybe more items, or a better system for getting contacts that I can think of, but generally, It seems to me that most Ideas worth a snuff get taken into account right away by admin, so I can not think of anything
3) I think without an agency the game is too hard, but it seems just right when you are in one.
