There were some missions I really did enjoy playing more than once a week---not just for the pay either. The pay tokens, flip this once switch, mission complete, missions do thing to entertain me when I'm bored.

I asked the developer Tony Fendall about the "once a week mission thing" in the game. I didn't think to get a screen shot, but He told me that it wasn't his decision to change it. (of course not)
He then said that the reason they made them once a week is so that players would spread out and play different missions. You and I both know the real reason. They only want us to be able to get tokens from a mission once a week instead of the steady daily flow of tokens we were used to. That way, we are more likely to purchase their "membership" to get tokens daily.

I did determine that the sub avatars can complete each mission too, so that helps a bit...for now anyway. Looks like I'll have to set up friends lists on all of them. It has been very quiet in game. Maybe they will notice that and make some adjustments.

Ant: Thanks for posting. Yep, sounds like another game wanting real money, before coughing up any of the cool things to play with in game. Boo. :uhuh2:
Happy: Very true. It's like a ghost town in SW these days. There used to be PAGES of rooms on the most popular list. Now, I'm lucky to see 5 pages filled, if that. Wow, I do hope SW takes notice for sure, and make some major adjustments to the game for all of our sakes!
Happy:
Here is an example of just how quiet things are these days. Between 12:30PM ESTand 9:30PM EST my missions have been played less than once an hour! Here are the totals for the 9 hour time period.
Homespace:
Easy Mission 7x
Art 7X
Sport (Multiple Choice) 6X
Island:
Rules 3x
Tour 4x
Observations 0x
World Series 2X
Ghost town!

I've found that many of the most played quests pay a sweet dividend if open 40-45 minutes.
How sweet often 800-900T. Yup, start up a few, note the time, do a few thinks then complete them. ;)
Not sure if this will be changed, but for now it is sweet.

I really don't get why you would make more tokens for taking longer to do a mission. Wouldn't it make sense that you would get rewarded for a faster finishing time? :??: That just confuses the heck out of me.
