I suspect you may be overestimating both the size of the community and the cash the game actually generates 😅
I would like to spend more time on it but life comes first, I'm currently dealing with home renovations and I'm 2 days before the due date of our first child.
If you're not having fun then I can only recommend you come back in a little while, we'll still be here and I'll hopefully have had more time to work on the game 😊
Creator of Cartel Empire, hope you enjoy!

Thats the problem, development cant keep up with community and all I was offered now is to leave the game and come back in a while.
P.S. I am aware of your RL situation and dont take my comment as very good comparison but just a side note on how we mix RL and CE when we need to win over an argument. I just lost my RL job, can I have a free sub status until I find new one?

I can agree that community is not that very big comparing with other big online games (would be bigger with old players that have already left). But this is the growing state of the game and active daily players are growing. As long as the game is interesting - old players will stay and new ones will come and the game will grow. Otherwise - old players are going to start leaving the game because all the content is completed and it gets boring just to train and do jobs.
As for the cash the game generates - yes we do not see what it cost to cover the servers and everything, but we can see players subscribing and also those buying tens or even hundreds of DPs. I do understand there are costs to be paid for game to run, but I can say this - if you want to keep it as a side project when you have time it is your choice, but eventually you will see old players go away (quite many already left). But if you want to keep it growing, keep the old players engaged and maybe some day drop your job and generate you constant income - you have to invest to it more. And I am not only speaking about your time, but also about hiring some people to cover you when you spend time with family.
And about the last part of your message - offering a player (your direct customer) to leave and come back later, gives the impression that the community doesn't matter to you. If the player expresses opinion about the game play and gives some suggestions on how this can be changed, means they care about it and want it to grow and continue to play, but if they are suggested to leave - that kills any motivation to provide further feedback, improvements or other suggestions. It feels that player is just a number and if one leaves the other will come. So suggestion from my side - hear what the community says (they are the drivers of the game and you get crazy amount of ideas from them), treat everyone as a customer, not a number in statistics and you will have great results.

If you think having children ends up with more free time, I have to give you a friendly heads up.
you will age twice as fast with less time available, the free time you end up having you should spend with your partner for a healthy relationship.
Get a second child and you age 5 times faster, your free time is your sleep time.

I think one of the big reasons the game isn't bringing in more money is also because lack of new content. I know multiple people who stopped subbing due too this. Myself included. It's a downwards spiral. New content keeps current players interested.
I agree with Anus. Never thought i'd say that.
A must do from now is to hire some freelancers for a certain job.
Or at least give an update about what to expect.
If nothing is expected for 3 months, fine, that's an answer.
But now we have nothing, don't forget it's not just a hobby project anymore.
There are paying customers involved.
We need more community feedback.
I have a feeling even mods have no clue about what is going on.
They are just here to chat ban people.
No offense mods, I like you all.

Never even thought I will sub CE, just bought few DPs to start snowballing my NW so I can keep buying DPs from someone else.
Reminder to those who forgot how it should work. Customer comes to purchase somethings thats already done, not something that is pre-beta or beta+hobby state or at least beta with roadmap. Thats what game devs do these days and it works.
I still cant believe I was offered to leave until something new comes. Maybe a refund then?
CE is inspired by Torn. You mean $ per sub? Or this daily lag so we can be excited as much as in Torn during halloween?

Homie made a passion hobby project. He had real life events occur. Everyone says real life comes first. Dude and his partner had a whole kid. (Mines about to turn 1, congrats man!)
This guy made a whole game that's different from torn, but similar enough to being people over. You guys are obviously enjoying it because you are out of stuff to do. You guys are bragging about how you can complete the game without paying or subscribing, so what's the issue? I'm genuinely curious. I get you want more content but there loads of content everywhere where.
I am so upset with CE and its getting worse and worse for the ones that already finished everything in this game so all we have to do is press gym button once in a while? Oh yeah do some robberies, anything else?
So thats the amount of days we didnt get anything over
Already 300+ days
And please read this thing once again.
It all began as hobby project with the dream it can become as great as Torn? And you getting what you exactly want, super fast growing player base with solid amount of cash coming with them too (no need to counter this fact if you think its opposite, we all know how it is).
Graphics and cartel TTs updated so far? Any impact for average gameplay? Lag is not sorted for months, its still here.
I hope other players understands we are the community and without it this game would go nowhere near as it is right now, and yes, thats means we can ask/demand for stuff. I joined bit later but its already 1+ year spent, some lads play from the very start.
we seen those discord suggestions that were planned 6 months ago yet not implemented.
Its not rant or hate post but I just want an answer how much time you need for something new to come, another year? Thank you but no.
