Where are we these days?

As a player who contributed more than a fair share of hard cash, I was wondering where "iGp Manager" is these days. Are we more attractive to new players? Are player numbers going up? Is the future looking better than before all te latest updates..? Feels like we're being left in the dark here. All I seem to see, is players leaving. The new rookie class is racing against bots and it's not really  attractive to new players as far as I'm concerned. Looking back to my old leagues: that all dry out. Every single one of them. So dev's: where are we these days?

Thank you Kevin but it’s not an answer to my questions. Where are we on player numbers? Gaining or losing? Is iGP attracting new players these days? Where are we compared to five years ago… That’s what I want to know…

A big marketing push is a great idea and hopefully helps to increase the number of active players, but ill have my doubts to be honest, that it will help in the long run.


Since the level 30 update and the discontinuation of ad videos and some other changes, you will need rookie managers with really a lot of patience or a lot of money. 

Ill buy some tokens now and then, mostly to support IGP, because everybody should be aware, that the whole IGP staff is not working for free.

But you seriously should consider the points which i described above, because if i would be a rookie managers, i wouldnt have the patience and enthusiasm to rush through an almost inactive pro class, just to end up with level 12/15 in the elite class and then to be chanceless at the end of the grid for the next 2 years.

This was totally different when i have started with IGP in 2020, rookie, pro and elite was active and i scored my first points in Elite with level 10 in a quite good casual league.

Today with my substitute account, iam not able to score any points with level 22, if iam participating in a quite good casual league.

And i will not spend real money for my second account. When you get only 1 point for your motor development after each race, you will need 720 races to fully develop your motor (24 tracks x 30 motor points).

So you have to buy tokens for motor points, good drivers with legendary race craft, multiple CD´s and maybe additional TD´s with also special abilities.

This can be quite expensive...from my point of view too expensive for new players, who are not sure, for how long they will play IGP.

Just think about my comments and hopefully you will make the correct conclusions.

Best regards

Fully agree with Hell Raiser. My own (and only) team is currently inactive because it really feels like things are going slowly downhill around here. Haven't seen any new players around for a while. Some developments are too "tokens focused" as Hell Raiser also points out. Looking at my "friends" list: most of them seem to be inactive or their account is removed. Not really a good sign there. So I get what Eisenheim wants to know, because honestly: I think player numbers have gone down.
