New player - First impressions & suggestions

Hello everyone,

I found out about this game a couple days ago and created an account. This game is exactly what I've been looking for! I'm 24 and work 12 hr days so I don't have a lot of spare time which you need to be successful in most mmo's. This game is a breath of fresh air because I'm able to make plays that take several hours without having to micromanage each step of the way & thus falling behind.

My concern is that in my campaign I've found the majority of players have turned into AI. Or are inactive which is upsetting because this is the kind of game one would invest weeks into. Personally I love the idea of facing off against real players and fighting till the death.

My suggestion is kind of like a 'Gold game' rather people would pay real money. Whatever the buy in is for example $5 - $10 - $20 to join a game and the winner would walk away with some money as well as the second & third place players. People would stay in a game for a lot longer if their wallet was involved. As a mature gamer I'd be very interested in playing for money. The game I'm in now has 8 active players down from like 20 or so in 2 days!! Which is kind of a bummer.

Also I've looked for gold games to join however I wasn't sure in the games list which where gold or not I wish it was a lot more clear. If an Admin reads this please know, that I truly think this game is outstanding but I'd really like to see serious players not so many leavers.

Regards,
