You will see some say that this is not a p2w game, that is true to a point. No you are not forced to pay a dime, but to get anything done in the game; or hope to maybe come close to good rewards in events; you'll have to pay big time. Between all the cross server events & just advancing things that are suppose to help you'll find this game is aimed at whales. Same names, servers, and guilds always in the top. Old servers dying because they have no chance. Had potential. Now is rinse and repeat.
