That whole game pretty much anchors off RP, so if you aren't into RP I can see not having much interest. Pets don't really ever become fully retired (there is an item that give you a chance at any non-custom coat) so the economy is both steady and boring.

My main vent is that wealthier FR users bother the fuck out of me over there. Solknots is the fucking worst (always trying to rip people off on both sides of the pond), Hera is a cheap bitch, and Doragon needs to shut the fuck up.
