I am shamelessly going to post this, so I then shamelessly can link to it from the moderators picks.

Hoping that we get more people subbing. For the simple reason, this game exists because people subscribe.

(Disclaimer: Mods, or even anyone else...make money of this game. It is volunteer run. Subscription money is used to pay for hardware and software to run this game.)

Absolutely right Carl, the first week-end I found this game I subscribed not one, not two, but THREE agents. The third one never gets played because I remembered that I have a job and 2 kids and NO time for the two that are in agencies and HAVE to be played. The addiction gets ahold of you, but I don't mind paying subs if it helps keep the game going.
By no means should anyone put themselves in the poor house to subscribe, but if you can and enjoy the game, you should.

Somedays I do finish all 10, others I do not. When hunting, I tend to do easier cases, which take less time. However, when I work on Almost Impossible cases, they take longer. I use it as a nice break between classes and studying. However, I only have one detective.

Yep takes quite some time to do all 10 cases and the 3 or 4 favors you get. Fortunately it costs cases to travel..that saves some time .... :D

I spend too much time online as it is.

Maybe someone should talk to the folks in this person's agency. This is the only subscribed account in the agency, and as you see, it has NEVER solved a case!!

That looks to me like two accounts are ripping-off the game! Yes. I have reported it twice now in the Report a Bug section. Their agency is in Shanghai, hence my having stumbled upon them. :(

It is okay to be unsubbed and in an agency. You don't get kicked out when you become unsubbed.

As to only having 0 exp, maybe they are new?

You have to be subscribed to JOIN an agency, but you don't have to maintain that subscription if the agency doesn't insist on it.

There is no ripping off here. If a person wants to pay the subscription and not play that is their choise.
