    • “The pricing for expansions and additional content is reasonable, making it accessible for most players.”

    • “What this game really needs, though, is advertising since the player base is extremely small at the moment and it can be hard to find an active game to join.”
    • “I beg the devs/publisher to do a tiny bit of advertising; I'd love to play this more, but it needs more people.”
