People are bored with things, they want a distraction,a new life

I have been researching a few different games, and played a few, lets take r.s. as an example...it's graphics are basic, the whole game is basically boring, listen in to the conversations, yet their all there playing it, why? because it's simple, it makes them strive for more, raise thier levels at thier own pace. the accounts get hacked all the time, in some ways, it's very realistic, and addictive. it plays on your desires to be number one at the game. and it doesn't cost much. besides, i has no competion in a way....i'm in the midst of creating a game that works with any age, and that's important, simply because why restrict your sales to just one age group. sometimes its
better to re-invent the wheel then create something totally new, it is also a good idea to see other games weaknesses and build yours stronger. invite restricted free play, and encourage memberships. afterall, it takes money to make improvements and develop other ideas. balance the graphics between simple and complex, and throw in some nasty twists,and turns, and it will do well.....my idea is to take the simple and the complex, combine them and be creative with the possibilities of different outcomes. in r.s people have millions of $ while in reality they have 50 bucks in the bank,and an empty fridge at home, yet they will play thier games no matter what.....for 5 dollars a month. and this is just one game...anyone want to talk about warcraft......with my g.g. stuff i have no limitations on what i can create.....it's all in how i use it....
