here's my story:

i have played this game for near on 3 years now, and i loved it.
great people, great fun, what more can u want?

but 2 months ago, my net died and i couldn't play anymore.
couldnt even read the forums.

so the net came back the other day, and i was really excited to get to play again :D
and then i played....

packs are everywhere, charms are near on 10 mill each, gold cost 1.5 mill.....
newbie towns and areas are empty, the town near FC is full.....

im a cleric, i love going to the newbie areas and helping ppl out. but the one person i found around plume, i offered to help, and he asked me to power lvl him to my lvl, when i said i couldn't do that, he told me to GTFO and leave him alone....

what has happened to my precious game?!?!?!?!b:cry

    2 months ago?

    This has been going on for FAR longer than 2 months? How have you NOT noticed it before your unscheduled break?

    i noticed it b4 then....but it just seems to be way worse or something...
    still sad though....

    i saw one guy with a sig that said, "the journey is measured in friends, not levels" (to they guy who has that, legend, that is all)

    i totally agree with it. *sigh*

    nothing has changed in 2 months

    if you came back a week earlier, you would not have even noticed gold prices

    PW does not care any longer about player count. All they look at is pack sales income. As long as enough cash shoppers keep shoveling cash to them, they could care less if there is only one new player a month.

    I used to think this would kill the whole process, but as long as 1 tool a month joins and then becomes a cash shop junky, these guys make a profit. It costs virtually nothing to create packs, yet people pay real US dollars to buy them in the hundreds.

    Everything other than pack sales and cash shop sales is just window dressing that languishes.

    Vanity Rules PW

    $1.5 mil for gold, not really, the last time that happened was a month go, been hovering around 1.2 for weeks now.
    Just some guy

    this is just another cleverly disguised anti-heads/economy thread....

    there probably was no break, and clearly its an overexaggeration, charms are nowhere near 10m, in fact the average is half that, gold again is hasnt been 1.5 since the last rep sale...

    the story outside of plume I seriously doubt that, sounds made up...I run into newbie areas quite a bit not only are they not dead...its thriving...what newbie areas are you talking about? inn of the eagle? the starter areas? try the areas around lvls 20-50 you will find them quite full, maybe not "day after expansion full", but full enough to get a party of like-leveled people to help quests


    as far as what happened to your game? games the same, its just the peoples greed thats changed...
