people say nrg makes it worse then argue it makes it better. the site is a free online games site so making us pay to increase our virtual progress is really annoying. if the games isnt real enough maybe you can just go outside and not play this game but i really think that the nrg system should be removed. its more of an annoyance rather than adding to the gameplay. however i do like the stocks portion of the game i just wish they would fluctuate more often.
