From the majority of the managers of the league I'm in (Neueinsteiger Liga) I hear – or better read – that they have the impression that the costs for subscriptions are a bit too high. On the other hand you need the 2D viewer to be competitive in a race.

Everybody knows, that a game like this with all the setting up and the costs for the servers is a huge task and one of the goals is business. But I would guess there is little sense when a lot of people try the game, enter for two or three races and then step out and are nevver seen again.

In some leagues there are only a few cars left, in our league not everyone will drive the next season, and after all there is not much fun involved when entering (or staying in) a league with only a few cars.

Wouldn't it be senseful to recalculate the subscriptions to get more people to stay in iGP? I fear that keeping it like it is, the whole thing may end after a year's time or so. And that simply can not be the aim of the organizers and developers.

An other sugggestion: How about opening some leagues by the organizers? At the moment the majority of the leagues has a racetime at 8 pm (CET).  I have the impression that this is another reason for people to end their comitment.

The organization of a league should also include the possibility to change race days and opt for one or two cars teams starting a new season. This in my opinion could help to keep the people in a league because it would be more interesting and give you the opportunity to learn from your first season (jn a one car legue) to develop your knowledge with a two car team. At the moment you can only change the league and I guess this is not what the majority of people want.

Mike, fighting a losing battle....

All I can say is that I too shared that opinion, and thought it was boring without 2d....this was about a month ago, and I'm still playing!

It does grow on you and becomes addictive.

In addition, if you read to see some of the changes expectd in April, it could also improve even further....

That said, I still can't subscribe, owing to the current price...

Sorry guys....

Great work tho....still plenty of gameplay to be had!

It is very expensive considering all you can actually do. Apart from watching the race for 30 mins on 2D it takes about 5 minutes to be prepped for the next race. WOW was only £8 a month and i could play that 24 hrs a day (and did on occassion).

When Codemasters release F1Online then the proper acid test will happen. I've signed up for the Beta.

THe idea Ive thought of is that when you reach say level 5 or 6, for 1,000,000 you can buy a 2D viewer trial, It ups your game, meaning you proberly will gain back what you lost, and if you dont, hard luck.

Might be a good idea, but then I've never been able to use any of my 2D trials because all of the free slots were taken. I'm certainly not going to part with any cash until I've had the chance to properly evaluate what my money gets me.

I have definitely formed the opinion, as someone stated above, that having the 2D viewer makes you genuinely competitive (if only by allowing flexible tactics), which is frustrating.
