Looking around the leagues (including PCGC's) there are a lot of tiers that are empty or players who no longer play the game any more...

Also, with all these issues..

Why not close ALL the leagues once they have finished their seasons and force everyone to leagues setup by iGP...

Make sure that enough leagues to cover the ammount of players.. Enough time zones for all the players and also times where they are during the day and also at night times...

I think this will make things for iGP better in the long run as iGP don't have the staff for 24hrs a day 7 days per week coverage and in the end of it all, the ones who are having the issues will leave the game in annoyance and also tell others not to bother playing it as the game keeps crashing / the admin are never around blagh blagh...


This will also help the Devs more as they will be able to monitor races in bulk and sort issues out when the league have finished..

This could be a 6 months deal to get everything right and then go back to the open times and days of what people want..

6x iGP Euro Leagues - 7 days per week at 12pm, 1pm, 2pm - 7pm 8pm and last race at 9pm..
6x iGP Euro Leagues - 3 days per week all at the times above.

6 x iGP American Leagues - 7 days per week at the times above but set to one of the American time zones..
6 x iGP American Leagues - 3 days per week all at the times above.

and so on... 2 sets of 6 leagues for Australian leagues and any other time zones or Nations that you would like to cover..


It would also force others to join leagues and not set them up with 3 or 4 friends in a league that will never get populated..

Just an idea to sort out these issues you have been getting.

Great idea maybe later but wouldnt this mean more manpower? And when there are issue with the leagues then they are even more in the shit. I prefer the way it is now down to the league managers to keep the leagues fresh and getting more ppl to play the game.

I don't like limiting choice or freedom. That is why the system is designed this way, precisely to prevent the kind of rigid structure in other games in this genre.

What we need is a better way of replacing inactive teams with active ones, maybe after X days without logging in the manager is removed from the league automatically, a setting the host can choose.

The other thing we need is to draw in more new people, there's millions of fans of grand prix racing out there that have no idea iGP exists. Half of the people in rival games don't even know we exist. A better front-end is coming as part of the website updates (a new public website & promotional video are part of the package). We'll be making more of an effort to reach out to that untapped potential in future.

And of course there's also the referral links available to all users which earn reward points when they are used. That's another great way to spread the word and earn rewards.

At least if the target is to boost activity I think getting more active people not less active leagues is the solution. We can start by (1) Pruning inactivity more efficiently (2) reaching the people that don't know about us yet. There's certainly a great more people out there that don't know about iGP than do at this stage.
