When I first started this game I was very sceptical having invested a lot of hours in simular games and in the end finding out that with out spending cash you cannot play this so called free game.
So I started an when I reached level 40 thought well this is when they will start wanting cash, but I have now maxed my level (60) and have great equipment an fantastic ride and 6 Companions all without spending one cent.
If you are tired of the flash games that takes you a hour tops and then you are done and have to start anew game then this is for you. I have been playing it for a long time now and still can't wait to get home to spend an average Hour to 2 per day on this great game.
So in short if you like thinking(strategy) investing time in a character and developing your own personal character. This game is for you
