      I’m struggling to see how. At the time the game first came out (when I played it) it was a flat subscription fee to pay, like most MMOs back then. It didn’t have any of the pay to win, micro transactiony gambling bullshit that was described by the person I replied to. It was just the game and the game was fun.

      It sounds like it really went full enshitification with lootbox type stuff sometime after I quit so it was a very different experience for each of us.
