Some thoughts that I had. Mostly since some things in the game cost a lot and take a long time to acheive.

1 - Maybe make it so you can take more than 1 class at a time. Especially since some of the classes take 2 months to complete. Maybe 1 class from each city/college at the same time. Or make pre-requisites?

2 - Make an advanced computer class. I've been waiting forever to be able to get the highest paying job. It takes like 4 months to get enough computer skills for it.

3 - It seems a little uneven that the daily jobs pay <$1000 (no one can have the best job yet because of computer skills) but you can vote as a 1st day player and get $2500 a day. My job barely buys me 1 of the cheapest Health pills a day...

4 - Crimes - they really don't pay.

5 - Health Regen, this hasn't been a big deal, but maybe make it so at a certain level you gain health faster.

Don't get me wrong, the game has been very fun. I just see a few areas that could use improvement.

I thought of something else too, maybe keep a record board for street racing. Like top 20 times.

I like the prerequisites idea and agree with the crimes. I think the crimes need to either be worth more or be able to mug people (players or just random people giving you a varied amount of money).

As for the job stuff, I think just add more and change up the daily pay a tad. I still have about a month to go before I can get the highest job.

I like that too, that's cool.

With the classes, I don't want people taking all the classes at once and everyone getting the bonuses on the same day, that's why you can only take one class at a time.

One thing I did try and do was create a prerequisite with the classes, so you had to take the basic class before taking the advance class. But it didn't work, so I disabled it for now. When I get some more time, I'll go back and try and get that working.

The big thing is, I want to make sure there are still things to achieve/goals in the game as time goes on.

There will be some classes that give out computer skills, there might even already be one. I can't remember...

Once I get some of these mods done, I'll go back to the crimes/jobs.

One reason I've not added too many more higher paying crimes or jobs, is some players have way to much money in the game already. So I don't want the economy to get to out of control. So that's why I'm working on things that cost money right now, like the cars/upgrades/racing. I need to get more things for players to spend their cash on, otherwise if I don't. Within a few more months they'll be making so much money on interest the game will get dull for everyone.

The HP gain I think I'm going to leave where it is, there are items in the game that players can use to regen HP (better items will come later). And donators already get a faster refresh rate too.

Basically i'm relying on interest to earn enough money to buy stuff right now.

once I buy it i'll basically have very little income, and i'll be screwed the next time new stuff comes out.

got another idea for you.

sell an item that helps you get out of jail sooner. like a jail key, or a file, or a donut (police bribe)

I'll look into something like this, good idea.

i was thinking about the fighting too.

one thing I noticed is the attacks seem to start with whoever has the highest speed, and then alternates.

if I have a lot more speed than another player (Like 10-25 times as much) shouldn't I be able to hit them more than once before they get a swing in?

The game was originally like this but was changed.
