What will happen to the accounts we already have?

I think we should give this a go but with a month or 2 month notice. That way people can spend their points they have been saving and record their stuff.
Even if we have to start all over, it's just a game it's not a big deal and it's for better. However, If all the stats transfer to the new version of the game then that would be even more awesome. And the whole thing of planning your stuff a month before in case you won't be able to log on for a while is great.

I also think:

-Since we wont have a point system, we should pay to rent venues, and the bigger the capacity the more the cost. Also based on your popularity have the option to bigger venues.

-Since the game is based on real life time, I'm guessing that the charts will be updated every week like in real life, not everyday. I also think, that the charts should also be recorded, but just the #1's. Those things would give both the game and roleplay more depth. I think almost everyone here roleplay's on real time anyways.

-Also the whole thing on set-list is an excellent idea. And based on your set-list it should effect your popularity and the success of your albums.

I think the best thing to be added to this game is ADVERTISEMENT (the more advertisement the better your single does):

Advertising Singles:
-Make music videos
-Send song to radios

Advertising Albums:
-Appearance on Tv shows
-Promotional tours

Of course these are all just ideas.

I like this game as the points system means that players are not penilised if other commitments prevent them from logging in for a couple of days.

Going real time would probably mean that i stopped playing

Don't you guys read? Carl said that you can plan stuff a month before it happens, so even if you can't log on, you already planned it.

The points system actually suits people who want to log in every day better than a scheduling system would. Think about it - if you don't log in and put some points into them, your abilities and popularity are going to go down. If you've already planned ahead what you want your rockstar to do, you won't lose points/popularity by being away.

EDIT : Arses. Two minutes too late. Basically, "What Steph Said". (:

New system = new accounts. We'd all start afresh.

That would be heaven!

So, you'll only have to log in 12 times a year if this goes through, and still "win"?

There's something in it that I don't like, although I can't point it out exactly. Perhaps more options/possibilities within the current structure?

My dear, that was why "win" was between quotation marks. ;) I know this game is open ended, but the term 'game' does imply the possibility of winning and losing. From a developer's point of view, I'd say that the current system is better. Personally I'm slightly against making it real time. But if it's done right, I'm not going to whine and moan about it. However, in the name of all that is holy, beautiful and has boobs: don't turn this game into Popomundo. Just, please, no.

Popmundo, ugh .... PLEASE, Carl, NO references to the rockstar's mother! :P

What I like with TRSG, it's much more open and freeform than games like Popmundo, Music Maven, and the late, crap Project Rockstar. Also, to make the game a bit less linear, Carl said he'd be introducing random events and dilemmas to solve .... I like the idea very much, as long as it doesn't go all NationStatesy on you if you haven't logged in for a while, and you're bogged down with a ton of questions to answer.
