For example, this game: http://megaten.aeriagames.com - is free to download, play, etc. But I know people who drop hundreds of dollars monthly on the item mall (the reason I linked it is so you can look at the item mall and get a better idea of what I'm talking about - the prices are all in AP, and 100 AP = $1 roughly). |
gotcha, im old school Ultima Online UO player so I understand, they started doing that type of stuff but its not for "better" weps, in game items always beat them, its usually pets, house items etc...
so ok, got it. id never spend money buying swords LOL but i understand how they do it then,... id rather just pay monthly fee and have to do dungeons crawls over and over to get good items LOLs
