Yup agreed it was the best/most addictive MMG I've played, was sad to cancel my account, but I've kept my account and have popped back a couple of times, was amazed they saved the chars for 2-3 years between activation.
One thing stuck in my mind from my last try tho ... I saw there's now 'vouchers' for x amount of items, eg I found a vendor selling 60,000 iron ingot vouchers for x amount, think they worked out 6g each.
I ummed and arrred about buying it, then one day it was gone, I was annoyed, but checked back there a couple of times, lo and behold I visit the vendor again, and there a whole pack stuffed full of 60k iron ingot vouchers ... (eg at least 10 mill worth of ingots)
I tried mining 'manually' saw a few macroers while doing it, I did it for a whole Saturday at least 8 hours and got about 4.5k iron ingots (plus all the other colours). So how the hell did that guy have 1000's of 1000's of ingots in what seemed like a couple of days? It would have taken me a year 8 hours a day to get that many ... *shrug* that annoyed me more than not buying them in the first place!
