hmm... seems to me that we have a very satisfied ex-player here. i think you have devoted too much time and effort in saying that it had became that IMBA-ed (imbalanced). every game, in its every release/update, is going through certain re-balancing. i think it's quite unfair to say that the game sucks after all the money and time you've spent on it. it's like... when you're using someone for your own personal gain. come to think of it, if i'm not mistaken, RO was the 2nd game LUG showcased to the public after OZ world. correct me guys if i'm wrong. i'm open to corrections.
on its beta testing, people go like 'tis the kewlest game eva!!. it's just like the very first time you had those paws of yours on that Nintendo Fami-Com and played Super Mario Bros.
next, for an MMORPG (yes that's an an cuz you're reading it as em-em-ow-ar-pee-jee), like RO, that has been in the business for quite some time, it's economy sure grew right before our very own eyes. it's very normal to see those umm... trillionaires that you were coining.
i did quit RO 2 years ago. and in that 2 years, i do have regrets. regrets like, if only i never played that game, i should have my very own violin by now. at first i was like cursing LUG for destroying my life but i thought... what the eff, it's my decision to ruin my own life, not them. so getting the topic away from me... lemme just ask you, did you just quit?? cuz if you do, i understand how you feel but if you did quit for some time, like me... i think that you should learn how to let go and move on with your life.
