Just have to decide if second tier is enough to keep me interested. This is a problem that I've said Mobage has. At the moment it's very much focused on making lots of money off relatively few people, rather than spreading that down to the lower tiers and possibly making a much higher net income off more people who spend comparatively less per head.

Most consumer economics is all about lower individual profit from the masses rather than higher individual profit from the elite. But Mobage are the ones making the call and I'm sure they're making plenty of money.

As things stand you need a lot of money to hit <150. And you can get <1500 by spending no money at all.
