I've been playing the game for over a year now, don't even want to talk about how much I've spent on it... it was worth it at first. The stories were great, they put a lot of thought and detail into the characters, I loved the historical facts. Lately they are less concerned with quality content and more interested in money grabs for every little thing. It has really become a pay to play game. I had a monthly subscription to WOW for years. $15 a month. Think I may go back.
