    That’s really unfortunate to hear. I played and enjoyed the game back when it first came out, before they added all the micro transaction stuff. I’ve thought about revisiting it a few times but never have.

      this is like someone telling a story of their spiral into alcohol addiction and then you coming in at the end and being like “yeah well I got drunk a few times in college and im fine” lolololol

        I’m struggling to see how. At the time the game first came out (when I played it) it was a flat subscription fee to pay, like most MMOs back then. It didn’t have any of the pay to win, micro transactiony gambling bullshit that was described by the person I replied to. It was just the game and the game was fun.

        It sounds like it really went full enshitification with lootbox type stuff sometime after I quit so it was a very different experience for each of us.
