So i just checked out this game have to say so far i like it till i hit the ah bs and you have to be a member

so my question is

1 - Is this game worth becoming a member? ( honestly Not looking for trolls... )
2 - Can you trade person to person without being a member?

Yes to both.
Becoming a patron is worth it.

More labor regeneration.
Ability to place and own land.
Experience bonus.
Auction house access.

Honestly it is only worth it if you are spending labor like crazy and you own land, the prices of apex is out of control

Honestly, if you play this game a lot - you will spend labor.
I use most of my labor for crafting to make profit and I need to AFK each night to regen it up.

Crafting my own hereafter is a big yes due to the high price of the Hereafters compared to stone bricks.
Making tax certificates, trade runs and opening coin purses are nice as well - but it doesnt take THAT much labor compared to my crafting.

But, 2000 labor cap or 5000 is what we are talking here.
5 Per 5 min online or 10 labor per 5 min online and 5 per 5 min offline.

It's a big difference and its not expansive to subscribe really.



I would say like this:

Paying for patron through APEX? = No, don't do it.
Paying for patron for real money and subscribe to the game that way? = Yes, if you can afford it.

It is expensive for a free game

Not worth it to start playing, the economy in this game is a disaster now.

I played during the first few months of launch, was very easy and reasonable to make gold to buy Apex and sub for game, and also have spare gold to buy labor pots, because you need labor to do crap in this game.

But currently at this state, you have to play like a chinese farmer if you want to buy Apex and sub for game and buy labor pots.

any other notes?
and ya ryce i was noticung that from youtube videos that things are a bit off and the videos are not from that long ago

Just pay 15 a month and enjoy.
Although the game is certainly dying and economy is really bad.

agree.

there's also quite little things to do. And to really to get gear you need to put serious amount of cash for it, im not worth to play....
