Well, there are still many many packs that I don't own that if bought incrementally could definitely take me all the way to 2024. However, I play TS4 on and off because I haven't found the playing style that I like in this game (which is strange because I'm usually a one family legacy style player who on occasion does rotational play). However, 2024 seems very far away, and I feel like the game would need some overall mechanic revamping to take it that far. If it's done, and done well, I wouldn't have a problem sticking with TS4. But, being honest with myself, I also know that if there isn't some riveting new integral gameplay element added, then I will get bored with this game and continue with the on and off playing. I have no problem playing an old game if it's fun.
