I made a new post and poll about this topic, because the reactions underneath were posted in a topic with a less good topic title.
Reaction 1:
I think something has happened too, where we would normally get new rookies everyday we are now waiting without any new joining.
Reaction 2:
In our Dutch league the same "problem". No new rookies for about a week now... Is there something wrong?
Reaction 3:
The same goes for our league
Reaction 4:
So it is not ok at the moment, isn't it? We haven't had anyone joined in (apart from someone who replaced his account) for 2 weeks now.
Reaction 5:
It been 3 to 4 weeks since any have joined and now my rookie league is dead because of this.
Can someone give an update about fixing this problem?

Nothing here. The last 3 Rookies joined, all after first joining another league, 11 and 15 races ago, which means with 3 races/week about 4 weeks ago and the only 2 remaining fresh Rookies are from 17 races ago, almost 6 weeks.
But it has to be said that this leagues 3 races/week calendar means it isn't that attractive to eager new players anyway. It's probably more something for older players realizing they can't keep going on with attending a, 100% real time as it is, race every day.

My league is set to race everyday yet we havent had any in weeks either.
Id be interested to see how many new players the game has, the devs can see new sign ups so they know the stats but sign ups do not represent player base, most will be sent here from other games promising rewards for reaching a set level, none are clearly staying.
I will continue to repeat the problem till someone listens the game does not offer enough other than a click and log out experience.
How often does anyone log on to talk to ppl in thier league, talk to ppl about setups, build rivalries.
Or do you just log in, set the same setup you have for this race tine after time then log out.

My league is the same.
Had no random rookies join in two or three weeks. I have had two friends join up and are in rookie. Had to get a couple of players in elite to create a dummy account to get keep promotion active.

Is there a moderator who can tell me if the problem has been noted and that the Dev team will fix the problem (if they have time)?

I asked nicely...

Good luck Ram I had my thread locked on me so I starting to think it easier for management around here to just lock threads instead of answering questions or they are in denial and think there is no problems
Ram Sedie medal 5000 6 years 97 days ago (edited 6 years 97 days ago)
That is not so nice Brad. I am curious about the why...
After the migration I will PM some mods.
Dan Tyler medal 5000 6 years 96 days ago
I think the problem is advertising, the players that do come are coming from other games, they build to level 5 to get rewards on the other game, then they leave.
Number of leagues is a problem too, the tier system doesnt help either.

Lucky us...
All of a sudden 8 new Rookies joined our competition...

I’m really struggling with no new entrants to my league. Since the auto-kick feature was introduced the Rookie and Pro leagues have got smaller and smaller. It used to be full. With no new players now joining, the league is going to die soon. It’s a shame as we have a full and active elite tier with a great community. Just need new players to join Rookie. Shortly both Rookie and Pro will be empty with a full elite league. Seems such a shame after 20 seasons.

Yep, game auto kick killed off promotion in lots of leagues too, so rookies and pros cant move up.
Hosts should be in control of kicking players not the game,.
I would be interested to see all leagues wiped so that they have to be re made and costing tokens, this would put alot of ppl off creating a league therefore filling created leagues.
I still say as host we should be abke to pick how many tiers we have in our league, if we just want 1, then let me run a 1 tier league.
Maybe even just have a single tier and allow any level to join, real racing has its big and smaller teams all together.
Sauber dont quit just coz they cant beat ferrari so why would players, racing with bigger guys gives you more exp and helps you learn.

Thanks for the reply Dan. The other thing I can think of is getting another league to merge with mine but I just don’t think people will want to. I could take in 12 rookie and 7 Pro (soon to be 9) but none in Elite. Each player in Elite has been active within last 6 days. Two will be relegated this season and won’t be able to come back up as promotion is now inactive due to lack of numbers so they will either leave or quit. So basically the league just can’t survive with no new entrants.
Dan Tyler medal 5000 6 years 90 days ago
Merging brings problems, someone has to give up control of the league and that can bring problems unless 2 hosts are exactly the same.
You need to match ,
Race start time
Speed of race
Race distance
Amount of cars
Then you have the problem of the players that move suffer with lack of development over the players already in the league.
Ive been looking for mergers but its just not happening, always a problem,lol
