There are a lot of comments on here about the game being heavily influnced by money. I just wanted to post and say that really isn't the case at all. Its old-school, is all. Youre supposed to grind and grind and grind, then "recycle" and grind, grind some more. This is how old-school, first-person RPGs have always been. I have yet to pay real money and I'm getting along just fine. This game requires patience, more than it does cash.
