I know that this game just got a revamp and they are probably doing their very best to amp the game up and add features to entertain and for the die hards it is working fine. I have always liked the virtual economy style torn has but to many it is kinda bland and boring. Want more money in this game? Want more people online at all times? You know what needs to be done? Try appealing to the new and quit pandering to the die hards. sure they will be a little edgy at first, might even lose a few along the way however if the folks who run torn don't leave behind the old and breath new air they will never see any real money to speak of. Not knocking the work done on recent revamp just saying you guys have got to get a new wave of fans in here. Once you get to be a "Body Bagger" or a "Hydro" sure the game is diverse with lots to do but what about the noobies? why should they invest any time whatsoever on your game? what can they do? couple missions. get their first job. basically find out how boring it is and leave. want more fans? want more money? want better features in this game? focus on amping up the "just in" experience you will see many more that come to stay. O and fast track some payment options for crying out loud. had an impulse to buy some DPs the other day and just flat out lost motivation because of the hassle paypal gave me. Im like "why can't i just type in my card number and be done?"
Poor torn fan base

I've been guiding a newbie around for the last few days. He played one of my games in Fun and Games and won a little cash, then sent me some questions.
I think if you really look back to being a newb, you'd surely remember just how much this game has to offer. There are many things to be unlocked and to look forward to when you first start. The idea of traveling, on paper at least, seems exciting. As do drugs and crimes.
You've been signed up to this game for 2343 days. I'm sure you've not been active the whole time, but you've probably lost the sense of novelty that comes when you play a new game.
Long and short of it, I think there'a a lot for new players. I also don't think that your suggestion adds very much... It's pretty much on a par with "make this game better". What should be done to attract new people?
I think the easiest and most effective change they could make without tampering with the core structure of the game would be visuals and background. For example: stealing a parked car displays texts but how difficult would it be to add a picture of a car speeding into the distance? this may seem small but having a background on homepage maybe something that can be customized would do alot for this game (in my opinion). I believe it would be an easy change and would do alot of good for appeal in new players.
With the new attack system I really think they will enjoy a bunch of lowbies pwn them. Train attacks are coming. Give 2.0 a chance.
