House rent jumped to 50,000 when I had 33,000. However, I jumped to level two and thought the jump in rent was from moving to the next level.

Since you guys are have the same rent, I think they switched to fixed rent for houses and buildings. I noticed the more houses I now purchase, my house rent is NOT slowly climbing. It's staying at $50,000. Lame. I liked it the other way.
 
well ive been playing this game for a few days now (napoleonMikey) and thanks to some chump offering me 8 mil for a road barely worth 5mil ive now bought the longest road i could possibly find. a nice long winding road through the mountains of japan that will more then hold me off for a good long while why i look for my next great road. though the road itself cost me 11mil to buy and im not sure about its length but i just know it is long and will net me some good rent money once its filled up
 
I don't know enough about the game to complain yet. :lol:

I got my rent, and I will get busy!

Edit: Speaking of Japanese streets, I went to my hometown in Japan(address under my name), but it's not part of the game! It's not like I grew up in middle of nowhere. :crazy:

Edit Edit: I just noticed. I'm not getting any chance cards. Bummer!
 
Well, I said yesterday that I was done, but i was in a bad mood yesterday, so I came back to get back in.

Well, I'm done.

I had a couple of alerts about bulldozed buildings, cleared them. They came back while I was putting houses on a really nice local street I bought. I cleared them again. Had to go back to My Streets and start buying houses again. The alerts came back and interrupted again! And when I bought that street in the first place the game never game back. I killed the browser and restarted it, and sure enough the street is mine. And it still takes 90 seconds to 3 minutes for each house.

Screw that! Y'all have fun. i have better things to do, like watch the House season premiere.
 
With the 2.4 mil I just earned, I purchased a third street worth 1.6 million. I built as many houses as I could, but only filled up the street about 1/5 the way!

I got four Chance cards, and all of them were worthless. Great, I need a new Bonus building for my new street and I get hosed. Now I have to wait until tomorrow, which I should earn 3.5 million for the day, which is only 1 mil higher than yesterday. That's not that big of a difference if you ask me.
 
I've gotten only one chance card today, over two accounts so far. It was a stadium, but just one?

I just timed one, right? It knows when it's being timed, because it did it in a flash*rolleye*, a mere 30 seconds. So I put away my cell phone/stopwatch, the next house took about two minutes. Maybe longer. :lol:
 
Who changes the rules in the middle of the game?

This reminds me of the time they wiped a part of the Forza 2 scoreboards, but didn't really fix the problem.
 
Odd, I have 200% activity.

I have a $2.1 million property that generates over 1 million a day in rent up for sale. First offer for 3 million takes it. It's perfect for a new player just starting out who doesn't have a lot of time.
 
I've spent every dime.

It seems my first account, which is underperforming, they generate lower rent. That town, for a green house($50,000), it only earn high $20's to high $30k. My second account, high $40k. WTF.

Mine too! I hadn't noticed my old street houses are either 33,000 or 26,000. It seems, the newer the street (more recent purchase), the higher the house rent!

What is it? Are rent pay outs higher because the street is a higher number? Or could it be I've bought more property, therefor closer to the next 'level' and whatever building I buy is now worth more?

I can see how somebody can cheat at this game if it's the former. Just buy a bunch of streets, thus increasing your rent.

It could also be the number of days you played. The more days you played, the higher the rent.

Which is it? :crazy:

i dont know i know i had high rent yesterday but lower rent today so maybe it flucuates on a day by day basis?

Well, it appears the max rent for Green Houses is $50,000. I have to wait and see what TB has to say about his Green Houses that he said were earning him a lot more than that!

I can't even sign in. I bought my own street the first day. And haven't been able to get on since.

I had a road that was making 300k/day off of each Green House that is now at 50k. Looks like they capped them at a max of 50k, but at some point, based on road length I'm sure, it can go down lower than 50.

I'm guessing they didn't figure that people would be making a quarter of a billion a day after only 4 days.

And for the slow building, stay away from the game at 1 GMT (apparently, sorry DQuaN!) as it is ridiculously slow then. Twelve hours later and it seems to be running fine now. So, log in at 1 GMT, buy a street and then leave for a while to let the rush die down.

Well the bigger the street, the most you earn of rent from a single house.

But, until yesterday, all buildings (in big streets) would pay more of rent, than its initial price.
Now, from today, it seems that you can’t receive more than the initial price you paid from the house.

But I am as much confused as you. They change rules and don’t mention anything...

That would be truth until a certain extend:

BTW, keeping down to 5 streets to avoid tax is not the way to maximize income. If you can run 19 streets, that's the biggest payoff, even though you're taxed at 42%. Until 19 streets, the street's income makes up for the tax payout. You will see a smaller ROI, but you have a larger daily income. After that, your income actually drops with more streets. Not drops per street, actually drops faster than the street income makes up for it. A tax-free return on investment will not make up for raw dollars from 19 full streets, according to what I've worked out. Secret table:

Actually, what I meant to say is you can buy a lot of streets, and to avoid tax, sell them. You'd still increase your street count purchase, but avoid high taxes if you only keep 19 streets.
 
I'm fairly sure it has nothing to do with the number of streets you've purchased. They made a change to the game (actually, brought the money back to how it was before the reset) and didn't bother to tell anyone. I don't know about you guys, but I certainly wouldn't have sold off the streets I bought if I'd have know that my crappy little 50k house wasn't going to fetch 366k/day! :ouch:

The point of the game is to still purchase the largest streets possible and and load them up with green houses, though. (Up until the point it's impossible to spend hours loading up your street with houses)

That way you can keep taxes low, and earn a lot more per street. But at which point does buying skyscrapers over houses becomes a better investment? I saw your list a few pages back about what buildings are best, but don't remember off hand what they were.

What I plan to do is purchase 19 of the largest streets I can afford and find, then load them up with houses and then Monopoly Towers.

I suggest shifting over to the Polyhedron Plaza, followed by the Spear End Summit and finally the Monopoly Tower.

For anyone interested in the power of the Polyhedron Plaza, do a search for "S University Dr, Fargo, ND 58104, USA".

Yes, I too set up a second account that was for the purpose of trying things out before I did it with my main, only to find out that said test account is kicking my mains ass. :lol:
 
Continuing my obsession with maximizing profits, I ran a few comparisons. Taking the "width image" into AutoCAD and making the distance from the corner of the paper to the Green House 1", I then placed the buildings into Excel:

Feel free to ignore the Rent/Price column. Make that the width column, too. :p

Based on that, the Green House, the Polyhedron and ESPECIALLY the Spear (Holy crap!) are the ones to stick with.

Also, when placing the various buildings, it appears that they don't play well with others:

[/lesson of the day]

Edit: Tomorrow's lesson will be entitled "Double posting and you. How to not do it."

I won't be teaching that one.
 
Ok, I will buy a street and fill it with Polyhedrons. I dont know that I really want to play this game anymore, its quite repetitive.
 
When you have more than 400k in the bank or when you don't feel like placing 8 GH's. :p

There is a fine line between buying the Green House to give yourself more chances to get a Bonus building and jumping to the Polyhedron. It's up to you to decide where that line is.

That's what I figured. So it's always best to place the Green House, unless you don't have the time to place them all.
 
I will not play this anymore, if they do decide to reset, it would be nice if someone could tell me.

I spent half an hour looking for a big street and everytime I click on one it wont load and when I click on find streets in the area it doesnt load, the whole thing either loads super slowly or not at all. Someone can buy my street off me.

Mine is the street on the right, currently the same. Visitor message me saying that you have offered for it, I will then accept your offer. Thanks and goodbye.
 
"Legendary Racer" huh? lol

I just got sabotaged. I'm pretty sure this game is rigged, because after not getting any chance card for I don't know how many turns, guess what I get on my very first transaction of the day? My first sabotage card.

Since he sabotaged my biggest "unprotected" rent, I returned the favor on his biggest rent. None of them were protected. :sly:

Edit: Should we start an alliance? I was afraid of getting one of these sabotage cards, because I was in the game to build, not taking someone down. What if we start an alliance, where one of us get sabotaged, the next guy who gets a card go punish him/her until another gtp member get sabotaged. I don't know, I'm just throwing it out there.....

Who sabotaged you? But, more specifically, what street does he own?
