Well I have to say, as one of the few paying customers that I regret shelling out my £5 for this 'privelege'.
There is a such a drop in the number of players playing that my only conclusion is that subscription is bad...I understand you need support but the site will die a very quick death if you dont address the situation quickly.

This is typical of the dialog I am experiencing as a subscriber:-

Adam:- Hi good luck
Joe Bloggs:- Hi
Joe Bloggs:- Why are you the only one with a rating

Please bring the ratings back for all to give most of us something to play for.  I have yet to play anyone decent since I paid my dues..they either leave or frankly, are poor...so come on FOD...in one motion you can regain your respect

cheers
