New guy here. Have had ups and downs in Season 1, but have enjoyed the ride.
I can tell you what isn't enjoyable--the bitter, sometimes vile, and unfortunately predictable message board behavior by some.
I totally get that this was the playground for many of you for many years. I have been way, way too locked in to many sims and games (ESPN COLLEGE TOWN, ANYONE?) over the years and also struggle to deal with changes by companies to something I've invested a ton of time in.
It's a shame that there are so many SIM AI spots in these worlds. I wish I had friends who were into this as I am. But if anyone wants to bequeath the same enjoyment they had from this game to others, here's some advice--keep the missile-launches to a minimum. Otherwise the newbies are going to ask themselves what they are doing with their time.
Just one man's opinion. I know posting this may lead to targeted strikes. But I'm just throwing it out there.
