If you're a whale and started at launch buying max cap and selling costumes you could have spent upwards of 100k+ on the game so far. That'd be a salty whale with enough disposable income to pay for an attack.
That's an interesting scenario..

I did the pre-read and I see that WoW was stripped off the list, I think that's a little unfair, and I'm not a WoW fanboi...
The reality is that a majority of the early Vanilla WoW experience was denying factions access to places like BlackRock…
I love the concept of group / guild progression - it's very lightly touched on by a few MMO's.
What I mean by this is unlocking things as a guild - as a team.
So what might that look like? It might look like guild owned instances or worlds where …
Going to be blunt here, the community - being mostly hardcore veterans was pretty unforgiving to new players to the genre. This alienated "newbs" really quickly. I have played 15 years of MMO's now and I can't remember a game that felt more "isolati…

WoW was always too easy.
Those of us that played Lineage 2 know the true value of levels. Those were the glory days of MMO's. Getting a level in L2 would take you a week to 3 weeks depending on what level you were and when you died you lost XP.
People rush because content is end-game loaded.
If there was the depth of content at level 40 in WoW that exists at level 80 the game would have a much different progression.
Gamers rush to cap because they want to experience what the game has t…
Just a reiteration...
This game is not for everyone.
This game is 99% pvp 1% insane grind
This game requires a very serious dedication or longterm time investment
This game still has the best graphics of any MMORPG and its 2 years old....
…
This game requires a few things---
Dedication- Hundreds of hours of game play
Communication- Contrary to popular belief this game has a GIANT community but unfortanetly its community is based in Ventrilo (Voice over IP) Servers. Once you meet t…
