IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:  Tobold's ongoing review snagged him some free game time from the developers.  Also, please note the Comment below that explains this game is North American-concentric, which means anyone in other parts of the world are basically ignored.)

A word of warning to those who live outside of the USA:

This game's policies, events and schedules are all USA-centric, meaning that if you live outside of those American timezones you will be receiving much less support and game events than those who do live in those timezones. What this boils down to is that you will end up a long way behind those people in those timezones, you will have access to less things and generally have a lot of frustration.

So if you live in the American timezone, this is a great game and it is extremely enjoyable. However, if you live outside of that timezone, I would strongly urge you to not pay the subscription for this game as you will simply find yourself growing more and more frustrated by the 1990's style, American-centric gameplay.
