To keep the game financiallly stable we are considering the release a formula called "Super Premium (yearly !)" with some benefits on request (things we can do in the database if asked), ofcourse nothing that would influence results but things like :
- the opportunity to change the name of one of the cyclists in your team (once a year) to a unique name (first come first served). (maybe restricted to U21 category)
- Acces to the tool to create races so a personal funrace can be made and added to the db.
- Getting a weekly report (after the update) about which cyclists of the competitors in your division are injured or put on the transferlist (ingame message).
Maybe
- (a Transferalert (daily check) when a cyclist with certain conditions come available (also XP and LS checked))
What do you think, for which features would you pay extra ?

I like the idea and the features you are mentioning.
perhaps something extra in the training statistics: that you can see what you trained each rider every week:
by example:
Rider X:
11-06 trained sprint with trainerskill 15
04-06 trained mountain with trainerskill 17
28-05 trained mountain with trainerskill 17
...

My personal request : to pay also with PayPal, with other thing is almost impossible for me When will be release? I ask because i want to meet with a friend with PayPal and i need to know when to meet him, tk  |

And changing name of a cyclist is also not an advantage, it is just fun. It is a simple fact that the game has to grow again. To do that, we need a programmer to develop it. That costs a lot of time and nobody wants to do that completely for free. Therefore we need a little premium mone money now. Also the hosting isn't for free. |

Maybe - (a Transferalert (daily check) when a cyclist with certain conditions come available (also XP and LS checked)) What do you think, for which features would you pay extra ? 1) Opportunity to change name: Good idea!
I think that should be only possible the moment your youthscout finds a new youngster.
Changing the name of a cyclist during his career seems strange to me.
Also the name should be approved by the gameowners to avoid having cyclists like "Hairy Balls" or worse in the game. 
Also I think you could get in trouble if a player changes the name to an existing cyclist like "Peter Sagan" due to licensing rules...
2) Tool to create races: Personally, I don't think many players would pay for that option.
Players who would use that, would probably create races that suite their own cyclists, so not many other players will join such a funrace. And the funraces allready aren't very popular at the moment (except for the youth tournament).
3) weekly report:
Don't really see the use.
A cyclist can be put for sale at a tuesday and sold at a friday. Than that isn't in the report.
And if you mean only the cyclists who's conract expired, you can just check the transferlist wednesday starting at 20:00 PM.
Injuries of opponents might be interesting.
4) transferalert:
Surtainly a good idea.
But I think only the alert should be the "extra" part.
I don't really get why today you can search for a cyclist with a certain fitness, but not with the secondary skills.
I agree with newborn something can be done with the training info. Now can you see the date when a cyclist has popped, but that doesn't say much.
Maybe other ideas:
- See the skills with a decimal (for example: FL 8.6). Maybe only for your own cyclists.
- Race results including all different divisions so you can compare with other divisions. Like you've put on the forum a while ago.
rarau: Like Ab says, as long as it's not an advantage ingame (that makes your cyclists stronger), so race results aren't influenced, other players shouldn't be unhappy about it. |

Possible extra options:
- See the top 10 riders (just names and team name) in a category (u21, u26, rest). For instance categories hill climbers, sprinters, Flat tt etc. Of course some sort of formula for every category should be made.
- See a list of riders that have won a certain race (extra info in the race page).
- See a top 10 transfers (by price paid)
- See a top 10 points per season/rider/team or points per team/rider in total.

Ab, Bosko, Tossboom i'm ok with all you said in last 3 messsages For Ab like i said i'm interested on it so for this i ask to be paid on PayPall too, i'm full in accord with what you say. I comment only about "transfer alert" and not in other areas, because other areas are very good. About transferalert this is my oppinion you all you dont need to think like me |

I completely agree with you guys to make an extra super premium. It doesnt come for free.
I would also concentrate on the training part. Decimals available, nice idea fe. Seeing when the cyclist will pop, changes in transfer value and info what training a certain cyclist has had and how long would convince me to pay extra
Actually, everything that helps me saving time convinces me :-)

I really like many of you trying to think of how to do this. But remember these stuff needs to be done by request by the database managers. Things like seeing decimals needs program changes (and for me this is exactly one of the things I would like to avoid because it will be to much an advantage for races or training).
Have to look up if what a cyclist trained on which date is in the db, but I am afraid it won't be. Other suggestions seem fine on first look (although some like having a result over all division need a lot of work)

well that's the choice you have to make i guess. It's a thin line you'll walk on. Keep in mind that people will not pay more just to get the possibility to change a cyclist's name. They will be more likely if it brings them advantages.

People pay(ed) for premium too ! And what does it get you, things like : designing shirts or logos, seeing cyclist faces, keeping shortlists, planning (more) funraces, downloading cyclist XML ... things that are for fun or can be done by non-premium managers too, if they invest some extra time and effort into it.
Only thing I can think of which is both beneficial and impossible to get for non-premiums, is the Training History (can be done for own cyclists but not for purchases). Now that is where my border is, it can be an advantage but it isnt a guarantee, plus you can only see it when he is in your team.
I wouldnt want to be stuck with only 10 to 20 (paying) players in a few seasons because the non-super-premiums feel they can not compete !

Maybe if I have time to spare after the season update. but I am afraid we haven't got enough benefits to give the super premiums as it stands.

How about a transferalert when a rider on your shortlist is transferlisted?

We can surely come up with something interesting.
