I have played this game since release date, and the game progress is just WAY too slow!
If there is going to be a long time until the next update/expansion, there should at least be SOMETHING for us to do - which there isn't. I have done all quests, I'm at max level, there is nothing to do for me, and I finished the "new" quest line the 2nd day after it came out, since they are all so quick & easy. The next goal, should be to add another level to the house, and release some areas or daily games we can play to win more furniture/decoration items. There is a ton of options for this game, where you could go from "ok" with a low number of players to AWESOME and with millions of daily gaming fans. I love the game - when there is something to do, but that is only approx. 80 days a year - and since there isnt anything to do, i go to other games instead. IF however, you changed the game with more content, i would easily pick this over other ones, which means other people would too.

Good luck & God Bless :)

P.S. It used to be that when new content came out one needed an exorbitant amount of Gold and Gems in order to even proceed into or progress through them. I don't know your situation but I am prepaired for anything up to 25 Million gold and 10 diamonds, or thereabouts.

I hope that some new stuff goes back to the way old stuff was.
And I hope that the Developers continue to make whatever they create 'timed' so that unless people Pay for it, they can't complete everything by the 2'nd day like you say you did.
I take my time and let it take about 2 weeks to get to 100% and also to get to the new Max which is usually days after the 100%.
