    Oh wait...I got the 'special' edition. Are they the same thing?

    The most expensive game I have seen was Warhammer 40K: Fire Warrior for $150 AU ($113 US)

    Except for Project Entropia, I have absolutely no idea. I think maybe some of the most modern arcade machines cost that much, too... certainly not a MUD.

    That's what you think.

    I've played Achaea for 1,5 years now so I do know quite a bit about it. Basically, the game is absolutely free. You can, in theory, get everything that a member who pays can get. The difference is that a member purchasing CREDITS will gain his skills much faster, will be able to buy Artefacts(i.e. special items giving you bonuses. Mind you, I don't have a singe one yet) and get some accessories like a large house.

    Now, as far as I know, the average credit purchaser spends either 120$ or 300$ on the game. Those are the two categories of players. The third one is not paying a thing.

    Now this guy wanted to be very good in PvP(player vs. player) so he got loads of credits, giving him all the skills at maximum level and an inventory of artefacts. That's how you do it, though you know, it actually means that he got virtually every useful or less useful artefact in the game.

    No idea. Maybe some people are just very rich.

    The most I've ever spent on a game was probably...hmm, $150. I don't really buy games that often.

    First off. WHAT. I've played Achaea. Where the hell is 15,000$ even NEEDED for that.
    Edit: What's the point of playing a game if you're going to pay to be elite? It takes the fun out of leveling.

    I've spent a maximum of 70$ on a game to date.

    Originality is good, kids.

    According to gamespot, my games collection is worth $16,000+ but that's just shy of 400 games. Come to think of it, I should probably get a rider on my homeowner's insurance to cover that. As far as a single game it was probably the WOW collector's which was $70 if i recall. In terms of a used game, I recently picked up Disgaea for $40 or $45. Totally worth worth it.

    Well, buying credits doesn't really level you up. It helps a lot, since you can make 1000 damage instead of 300 at some point of the game, but you still need to level your wa up.

    And yes, you can spend 15000$. Just consider the fact that he bought 50k credits. That's roughly the amount above. You can spend them. Buy a huge mansion... with 150 rooms. Ok, buy a palace with 150 rooms and a whole set of arties.

    How... how did you manage to pay $150 for UT?

    Grinenshire: Fair enough. It seems implausable, but I suppose things of that nature would be rather costly in-game. xD
