Australia is NOT and never has been part of Europe yet we are forced by SE to pay the equivalent of the Euro to play the game. I got a huge shock back in the beginning when I signed up for $65 for 3 months and instead got charged $95. I said I wouldn't keep paying after that sub ran out but sadly I wasn't finished with the game at the time it did so coughed up again.

And I cant help this but I have to say to all you people saying the RMTers are going to fill their accounts with extra retainers to send them out farming ARE YOU SERIOUS??? ONE real life person will make them more in one hour than 10 retainers will. Sending retainers out to gather 7 items per hour isn't going to break the game or make it pay to win. I have ALL DoL and DoH maxed and I did them all at the same time, I had to get 2nd, 3rd and 4th chars lvld so I could get retainers on them and then I created an FC and joined all my chars up to it so I could use the FC Bank to shift things between chars.

I am always running close to the wind with full retainers and FC bank. I'm so happy to get new retainers because I can fill them up and leave my alts in the FC and go join one with real live people in it
