I'm going to be honest, I haven't had this urge to buy everything since the Qixi Festival (aka Lanling event) earlier this year. But I'm definitely aware that the desire to grab everything in a special event is still a struggle for me at times. However, I think I finally…
In anticipation for the first CS server Dom/Favored on the F2P account, I’m beginning to wonder if multi cycle hoarding is worth it in general for F2P. Maybe I’m just getting antsy or just concerned that if I don’t level up now it could be detrimental…
