This game is ridiculous! They say it is F2P (Free To Play) but it turns into one big ITEM MALL!

Many things during the trial period (ends at Level 18) are free, provided by "NPC Parents" such as player housing and consumable food and drink items. In the trial period, you can find other low level PUG's (Pick Up Groups) to party with. But then all the players move into different zones and they are hard to keep track of. You end up having to go solo...

Then you realize you screwed around in PUG's too much and didn't spec your toon correctly! You end up specialized in Cook:Fries and realize you should have taken Sex:Supermodels. I tried to re-roll of course, but NPC's in white cloaks whisked me away to a temple and healed me. My Guild Leader (screen name MrMcDonalds) threw me out of my guild because "only n00bs try to re-roll". It turns out I violated the EULA and thus forfeited my player housing and am also homeless...

I looked on the AH (classifieds) and the housing costs are RIDICULOUS! I got so desperate that I decided to grind for awhile in a rich neighborhood. The NPC Guards caught me looting an old lady and now I am in jail. The guys here are all PvP and kinda scary, can't they see I am strictly PvE and too low level to be a challenge? I WANT MY MOMMY :)

It's definitely a rental IMO.
That's one of the weirdest things I've ever heard someone say.

I'm just trying to think of a way to interpret that, but I can't.

Yeah, I was trying to think of something whimsical and witty to say.

Alas, I failed.

You forgot to mention the rather drawn out tutorial. I understand teaching new players some of how the game works, but a lot of us don't quite need such a restrictive tutorial. Maybe they should have taken the Half Life 2 route and tell you how to do stuff during gameplay, with some segments to acquaint you with the controls and tools?

Did anyone else find that easter egg where you walk into this room and there are all these girls in lingerie. (I imagine there's a male counterpart as well) Apparently the best place to find it is in schools, so when you're around that level I'd recommend looking for it.

And there's this weird glitch where when sometimes when you wander around outside during stormy weather the screen will flash and your character will instantly die. Anyone know why this is/how to avoid it?

Appearance can be altered, but that costs a boatload of in game money, called dollars, and isn't totally perfect looking.
Strange. I must be playing a different version of the game, as the in game currency for my version is pounds.

I made the foolish mistake of trying to attack a boss without a raid, and ended up losing all my currency.

Yeh mate me too - were on the british servers. Its why we get all the updates later too.

Awesome review. Im actualy thinking of starting an ingame religion about how its all just a game.. i call us the MMOists. Theres a monthly subscription of £3.50 or u can go free to play microtransaction and buy each newsletter one a one off basis. We beleive that by resubbing you can play again(reincarnation) and that some people will chose to go on to play a better game(go to heaven). The bad people are stuck on loading screens tho(limbo).

About my character:(stats out of 10)
Str, 6
dex, 2
con, 2
int, 8
wiz, 7
cha, 6

speced in skills
linguistics: bullshit
knowledge(useless crap)
linguistics: smooth talk
knowledge (irrelevant philosophy)
knowledge (pointless religios and scientific facts)
martial arts: various stuff u never need that can kill a man ded.

merrits/flaws.
Bad tempered.
lazy.
social drinker/smoker.
addictive personality.
not quite sane.

It was pretty witty, but it was just so damn weird too.
