The closer to cap we get, the more little bugs and issues we find with the game. The one thing that’s bugging the hell out of me isn’t actually a bug: It’s the cost of your ability upgrades. I think this is WAY out of line. Going to the trainer is so cost-prohibitive, it’s taken all the excitement out of going to the trainer to get your new stuff. Granted, having been around the block a few times, I know that I either need to continue blowing all my money on crafting and shut my mouth about the trainer or I need to stop crafting so I can afford the trainer. But it still costs too damn much.

I give this game a solid 8.5 so far. I’d recommend it to anyone. I don’t see myself returning to RIFT (sorry Trion) and I don’t see myself making a switch for another game any time soon. There are some features I want to see in this (they need to steal Trion’s maps and they need to figure out how to incorporate public questing) but I’m going to stick with it for awhile.
