Maybe link/promo/twitter exchange with another game? Charazay Basketball Manager has recently changed owner (or so it seems, the situation isn't very clear), maybe they're willing to promote the game. Some users here already play both games.

The donation button is a good initiative, unfortunately I have no idea what PayPal is.
This week, my Premium expired. I extended for 1 year, but if its ok, I pay it a second time to support the game. Shame not that much members are Premium, even some big fishes in 1:1 aren't. I know its a free game, but still ... if you play this game years at the top, a little support in return is not wrong. In 2:1 only 2 members are Premium if I'm correct.
In Division 1 and 2, there are the true die hards. If we can motivate them, that would be a good signal.

I was premium last season but yeah I didn't renew. Question that seems relevent: do we know this game is actually attractive to new members at the moment? (How fun are the lower divisions?, are there enough players on the transfer market to improve your squad? is it possible to go from the lower divisions and get to the top few, or do you get stuck somewhere? etc). It's a question that needs input from newer players though, and I'm not sure how many look at the forum at all. Related: I've been thinking of putting up a poll for a bit wondering what the consensus for a game reset would be. If you have email addresses of former players (I suspect they're somewhere) that may attract some back. If most established players would be against it I guess whatever benefits to new players it can't be done though. Probably only worth it if the userbase significantly increases. Offtopic: I signed up to Charazay because of Maxz's post, I've blown a lot of money badly Easy division though, maybe I'll keep playing it for a bit. Does anyone play Buzzerbeater? (also basketball) That's become one of my favourite games since I found it in 2014, wish I found it earlier (it also declined in users, but from 60k+ to 20k current. It's still fairly big..)

Punkska I think you should answer your questions so this way we could have an opinion 1st -The game is attractive. The problem that I see is that many managers wants to reach success easily without pay attention to finances, they buy expensive trainers and scouts. Many of them don't make research in game, wiki or forum before taking actions. I have send to all new managers a welcome message with the link of the starting guide made by Seberla so is up to the new managers to find time to read. If some native managers share some of the experinece to the new ones that would be great and they would start more solid. 2nd -There are attactive divisions and others that aren't, but we try every season update to fix and select teams to make them more actractive, but seems that some managers when they have a good fight they give up instead of giving fighting. 3rd -I think there are very good riders on the market, there are plenty of quality riders for lower divisions at low price. 4th - I play since the beginning like you and we get stucked in div 2 You have good examples of a managers that started one year after and they are in top, Slayer and Nightbiker. The game need dedications and details to reach the top. About the emails I have the emails of more then 1 thousand of managers.

As this is only my 5th season, I thinck I can still call myself a "newer" player (when I see some others have played more then 20 seasons). Here's my view to the questions: 1) Agree with ElGringo. The game is attractive and a lot of info is out there. You just need to do the effort to read. It can be made more attractive, but as ElGringo mentioned already in multiple topics, only small changements are possible at the moment due to IP's position. Things that would make the game more attractive for me: - bigger importance of age: at season update, young cyclists could get a few skill points for free, old cyclists could decrease in skills faster. This way, players will be more curious to see how their riders "evolved" during season update, it would be more important to invest in younger riders and divisions would be less predictable. Now, you know for example Franconia will be in top of 1.1 for still e few seasons at least, seing his cyclists are up to 32 and still have a few years to go. - financial correction: today there are teams who don't want to promote, or even worse: who deliberately relegate because you can earn more money being good in a lower division than being average in a higher division. 2) In my case the fun in the lowest divisions (with a lot of bot teams) was in trying to win everything. When at a moment, there were only bot teams in a race, it became a little bit boring indeed. After my first season, there was already a change in divisions because this problem was known. I don't know if it's better these days. In division 5 for example I still see a lot of bot teams. Is it a possible solution that new players can only join at the beginning of a season? They can subscribe and get an email a week before the start of the next season to confirm they will play. Advantage: all new players start at the same time, making it more competitive Disadvantage: people don't like to wait 3) We're in about 1/3 of the season and there still are always enough cyclists on the transferlist. You're cyclists don't have to be that good to win a race in division 6 or 5. 4) I don't thinck it's that hard to get to 3rd division for example. I have a little bit trouble now in division 2 (especially financially), but that's just my task to find a solution for that. That's what makes playing a game interesting. If you play a game, you know you can win some and you can lose some...
