Unless someone has info to the contrary, no prices have changed. Level 4 hasn’t so 5 shouldn’t have.

Where are the new levels? Its been nearly 2 years now (if my maths is correct) since I completed level 80, surely it isn't that hard to throw a dart at a map and say "right, we are now adding levels for there" - Come on GI if you want me to start spending even a single penny on greenies your going to have to make the game somewhat playable again. If i even had the remotest of changes of getting a purple map I wouldn't whine, but there is more chance of me flying to the moon in the next 50 years.

I think at least one new plane is coming at some point, which may mean new levels. They will need to change it up a bit though, as if it's the same thing as usual, we will be back at the same point in a few months

That is your own fault in my opinion. You are level 80 with 5 condors and 3 jumbo rangers and a bunch of other stuff that is on your runway and I don't know what is in your reserve hangar. Just the 8 planes that I listed flown each two times a day is >68,000 pax a week but you only have 7,000 logged for the week so far. You are the alliance owner and you only have 5 of 10 spots filled in it. A 10 person alliance with everyone flying 80k a week will be darn close to the top 100. And don't say it can't be done because the current #99 alliance only has 12 members in it. Purchase some more pharmacies so you can fly all of your condors. Fill up all of the green area on your city side. Stop spending coins on boarding bridges. Do some other stuff to become more efficient. Change your fleet to where you can fly all of your aircraft continuously. Join a different alliance.
No one is under any obligation to spend any money on the game. However, the purple alliance maps are not meant to be easy to get for everyone. You have to work for them but they are not out of anyone's reach.

I think this is good advice. Every time I have a frustration with the game and I ask for help about it people chime in with advice that works when I follow it. Sometimes it's just being patient and sometimes it is me having to make a change that I was reluctant to do. After years I left an alliance I started that I was too lazy to manage and joined one that is very functional. What a difference! It put in perspective that I really had no idea what I was doing trying to run a small alliance on my own effectively. I also used to think that QLs were out of reach and now I have 8 sitting in my inventory based on people's suggestions and changing my strategy. Being able to participate in launch parties with other members of this forum has helped me enjoy the game in a new way.

I think we all need a little tough love in our lives sometimes, right? I know change is hard but what really do you have to lose in trying? It's just a game after all, right?

@Dan, one question I have is that do pharmacies have to do with Condors? I don't remember them ever dropping anything.

That is a phenomenal breakdown. I agree with us piling up at lv 80, but you most certainly can get alliance maps if you apply yourself and seek the right alliance. Well said.

Pharmaceutical Labs not 1x1 pharmacy. They produce pills for Condor flights

Yeah, the ones that drop the pills for the condor flights, pharmaceutical labs like Madge pointed out.

Mate good advice and thank you, but unfortunately i have a life and can only fly when my children are in bed, the wifes in bed or even better they have all gone out, so for those of us in work, with families, flying 24 hours a day is not possible, sometimes its impossible to even get on the game.

That is a good point.

That game requires to play all day long. No matter what strategy a player choose, unless he visits the game at least once every 3-4 hours, he can't make a significant progress in the game.
A player that is able to login only once a day, will progress very slow. That is how the game was built.
I guess all high level players login in at least once every 3-4 hours.

Am I wrong?

Not really. If you are flying long haul planes like condor, they are 12 hours. If your buildings are all 8 hour upwards you don’t need to visit that often to still post a decent total of passengers. Depends on fleet, and city layout. And the fact most high end players don’t need to chase coins.

I agree. BUT on the way there each of those high end players had to chase coins. It almost can't be done once every 12 hours

It's all about choices.

There's definitely a very big chance to get purple maps. Especially by being present in this forum. Top 100 alliances have openings every now and then.

But the biggest question is "is it for you?" If not, then just enjoy the game however you want. But then maybe don't whine when people have more time/money than you to spend in the game. There is no right or wrong way to play this game. I used to be jealous of some people getting those big cities, all the planetariums they have, etc. But I realized they probably spent a lot money (and time) to get there. So, I am just enjoying what I have and pursuing the small goals that I set for myself. Guess what? I am now perfectly happy with all the progress I made.

This discussion happened because of one of the messages implied that there's no chance of getting purple maps and it has been pointed out that if you want the purple maps, you can get it.

True, but @BobbinsPilot eventually reached lv 80, so chances are that gathering coins isnt much of an issue anymore.
@Madge59230 I think hit the nail on the head. If he only can get access once a day, he would need to arrange everything based on his availability. Some people only have access to their computers (windows players) and only have a couple times a day to work with. Everything for them should be 8 hours and up for the most efficiency (flights, buildings, fuel collection, launches). It works out a lot better for mobile players, as we can hop on at any time for a few minutes to send flights out, collect pax, then keep going with our days. The best players integrate the game into their lives, not the other way around.

Well isn't this a life lesson for all 💭

Has anyone else noticed that now all the planes use the airport buses to load pax? Theyre only supposed to activate for the smaller planes, but now they activate for all planes. As a result, the stands arent being used....at least in my game
