Really? I have spent $2.90 on the game in total on one server and nothing on the other and are competing well.
As for the GM's or CM's abusing their powers I haven't seen anyone banned in chat for ages...how long ago did you last play?
Pesonally I find the ingame chat is fantastic even if "Embassy" sometimes gets filtered to Emb***y, people usually know what you mean given the context of the chat.
Being able to chat in real time within the game is fantastic. A great way to meet…
