Please read Sim 9. It could help your game 10 fold.
Sim 9, hear me out. I am wimbs27. This game is great. You have made it really good. I am sure 100s of people sign up each day. But here is where the problem lies. It is not long-lasting. People will get bored with it and move on. I am sure you thought of that by now. You have to make it more interesting. Here are the most important ideas I have seen and some of my own. You need to have more enemies. If there was a video game with one enemy with only 1 form of attack would you want to fight them over and over again? What you need to do is create different enemies. Some that can fly, swim, and walk on land. That brings me to my next point. You should put in some natural formations. Maybe some 3 natural mountains in the game with snow and rock. Every player in the game can’t mine the rock though. You should also generate a river or two in the map and some ponds. There can be fish enemies and people could create bridges over it. The water won’t be sold at the store but you could start to sell bow and arrows for flying enemies and fishing poles for water enemies. Next, you need to regenerate the natural grass. Everyone has taken the natural grass. Look on your world map? Tell me what you see? All I see is barren wasteland. Next, you need to put in plant life like trees. You could have a pine tree and a regular maple shaped tree. Each tree when cut down could give off two natural grass and one wood. Tree seeds could be sold at the store. Another thing you need is a new set of building rules, especially for the capital city. The whole city other than the center looks like it was hit by a nuke. You need to set up a form of rules where if a player doesn’t finish a building within 30 days or his/her account has been inactive for at least 75 days to demolish all his/her unfinished buildings if it is built in the wilderness. You could give back the players’ resources to them. This is the most important rule…to achieve this rule you could elect more moderators with this job to go around the map and find the unfinished buildings. They could put a note next to the building or you could email their account and tell them that within x days their house will be demolished if they don’t finish it. Of course this won’t apply to very large buildings or towns. This could help revitalize the capital borders. Take these
ideas into consideration. Sincerely, Wimbs27
Thanks, these are some good ideas, but as stated at top of page, I need each idea as its own thread so I can see which ideas are most popular. Thank you :)

Well the whole world is meant to be built by players. if the players are lazy and have short attention spans, what do you expect? people can connect with other people, and they feel they have found a world of their own heart when theyfind something that looks terrible, half-finished and poorly designed.
