It might be my favorite “free” game of all time, since nobody can just buy their wins. The things that exclusively require money to obtain are purely cosmetic.

Correct. I’ve never paid a cent, but I have about thirty heroes unlocked.

I was reading this thread, and signed up for the game. It asked if I was referred, so I said I was referred by you **Frylock** , hope you don’t mind. I have a busy couple of weeks coming up, but I’ll post when I can play(and perhaps after I’ve gotten a little good)!

I started playing this earlier this year, switched to the Oceania server when it started up, and pretty much stopped playing because they have only made a token effort at actually getting it running. I’m not the only one who feels like I’ve been tricked into making the jump to a server which only has - and only ever will have - half of the gametypes.
