- It’s free. - I own every weapon and all but four legendary troops. - Routinely telling level 1000 players to kiss my Celestial Traitstone. - I have several Celestial Traitstones needing to be kissed. - My main hero on Steam and my alt Hero on my phone can be in the same guild. - It’s free. - I can be a goat. (Oh wait, wrong game.) - Routinely telling gobbo armies to go play in the Arena. - I don’t feel guilty about playing other games while my kingdoms collect tribute. - Devs already have plenty of VIP 10 players. - Routinely telling VIP 10 players they need to spend more $ to keep up. - I only need another 1M souls to get all my troops to max level. - Last time I checked, it’s still free. ---

I’m pretty sure there are less than five VIP 10 players. From what I last recall, VIP 10 costs $790. I have spent a little under $50 on this game. Most people that do spend on this game seem to drop $5, $25, or $50. There are many committed spenders that go to a couple $100s, but I doubt many of those higher spenders exceed $200-300. If there are dozens of people spending more than $500+ on this game, I really wish I had their kind of money to throw around. xD ---

I have only ever bought the $5 bundle for the armor that gives +25% Souls and +50% EXP until I built up enough Gems for the good Armors. I like this game because F2P and P2W players can be evenly matched more often than most “freemium” games. ---

Checking in as a VIP 10 player. However, it turns out that I laid out all that cash before VIP even existed so I’ve been there since day one. The only thing I regret about it is I didn’t buy Keeper of Souls when it was available & it’s still my only missing troop. ---

Endgame outside looking in on KoS club +1. I’m guild leader and I think 4 out of the 5 players below me have him. It’s embarrassing. IM A LAUGHING STOCK. ---

I was lucky enough to get Keeper with some event keys a couple weeks ago. The one I keep seeing that I really want is Bone Dragon. Haven’t been able to get that one yet. ---
