Before I get to much into this game, I have a few things I want to get cleared:

Is there anything in the game, that cannot be done without using irl cash?

Is there any items/mounts/whatever in game, that cannot be optained without irl cash?

In other words, do rl cash only serve as a shortcut, or does it limit the game if you dont use it,

Thank you in advance

    No you don't need to use real world cash at any point, if you don't want to.

    You can trade in game coin for cash shop currency, at the auction house.

    Everything available on the cash shop, can be traded (i.e., they can sell to you) in game by players, for in game coin.

    Thank you very much. This games seems very cool, and not forcing rl cash just takes to a whole new level of FREE mmo's. Glad I found this

    real money is not required but you will not be very competitive without it.
    Staring at the wall is much more rewarding than playing PW.

    Oh my full +4...everything I have with full flawless would like to disagree with you. I'm doing quite well for not having spent any real money on this game.

    I have to agree with Zoe.

    While there's more to the game than who's got the glowiest gear with the most +refines on, it's plenty easy to grind out cash if you want to.

    I know plenty of high level folks with great gear who rarely if ever spend any cash, and are for sure competitive. I know some with decent gear, who don't really care if they're especially competitive, cos they're having fun anyway. And I know a couple who have spent tons, have awesome gear, and are still hopeless anyway.
