I will try to be objective in this post and reasonable, but it's getting harder and harder to be like that... I do understand that development can be prolonged, projects got delayed and problems can arise... But... That shouldn't be an excuse every time, and there should be some kind of communication in official channels... Like blog, website, etc...
So, the situation isn't great... We got the promise that 3rd edition cards will be out until the end of March, and we are already in April and nothing happened... We had that series of blog posts about new cards, but nothing after that... So we are in dark at the moment, and more and more people are disappointed with the current status of the game...
Despite high taxes, the value of SIM tokens continued to go down, and I have some feeling that even 3rd edition cards will not reverse that process... But, I hope that I'm wrong about that... To witness that, we should wait for new cards to appear...

At the very beginning, I would like to clarify few things... dCity is a kind of investment game, which implies that you have to invest money (crypto, or however you want to call it) that you can play it... And that means that you can win, but you can also lose your investment... So, NEVER, but NEVER invest more than you can afford to lose... I have invested an amount that I can afford to lose, and I'm fine with that...
The past week was just a continuation of a well-known downtrend... Except for taxes... They were on an uptrend... :) But, I have to be honest, the prices of some 1st edition cards are still holding quite good and their value didn't drop that much...
We had a day without payment earnings (or the tax was over 100%, I'm not sure about that) when we got only WAR PROFITS, but it was maybe just a game glitch... Anyways, there was no refund or late payments for that (as it was a 0.01 SIM payment, so that counts, I suppose)...
Regarding my strategy, I didn't think too much about the game or investments... As my earnings are low, I have just bought the most profitable cards (population/income/price ratio) and will continue doing that... Currently, I'm not investing any "external" money into the game, but only my game income...
I have made one stupid noobie mistake with my second dCity... I have sent scientists there to try to "mine" technology cards, but I have forgotten to buy there the Research Center (palm face)... Luckily for me,

As I said in the beginning, the price of the SIM token continued to sink down... On the last day of March, it happened what I mention in the title... On Hive-Engine, we were able to see the end of the buying orders! That's usually isn't a good sign for any currency as it shows that there is no demand for the token... The price sunk to 0.00061 HIVE which was the ATL (all-time low), and then players built up the buy orders back to 0.00126 where it is at the moment...

In the end, as a conclusion, I don't know what to suggest to current players or to some future players... I'm usually a very stubborn, patient, and consistent person, so I will not give up on the game soon, for sure... It doesn't look healthy, but I saw worse things in the crypto world... :)
All that I have stated in this post are MY OPINIONS and SPECULATIONS about the game... Please DYOR and give me your opinion in the comment section... I would like to hear what do you think about all this!
Thank you for your valuable time,
