I know, because I have been there since Alpha and have played it to death, conquering just about every goal I set in the game before my wife and I quit in disgust at the money-sucking, good-for-nothing companies that run the game. The game has so much potential to be great. It is beautiful, full featured and incredibly satisfying to play. But new players are locked out forever from the land grab, the economy is in free fall due to the unbelievable number of exploits and hacks that originated because of the Korean design (Korea requires RL ID to play so there are no anonymous players and hacking has lifetime consequences, which means you can put things in the client software that would NEVER be put in a Western MMO).The game is dead. The servers are dying and the last gasp of life will come when they announce the inevitable server merges that will forever screw everyone who worked so hard to obtain their precious land. And what does the company have to offer now? New ship skins! More marketplace items to buy!RIP
