How much would costs you?
To get access to the server content ( game ) is very cheap.
To be happy, well I suggest to ask some players how happy are with they own guild leader, maybe who is only one in fraction?!
Many went to play on RU sevrers because of Dragagon's attitude...Do you understand Russian, can you read and write? - if no, than sad story... the game will have only RU interface.
I think that would cost you more! - to change fraction, server level up again your character cand get the "free cash shop items".
Sadly I can't play neither in imp side neither in league side, because Ican't tolerate neither of the guild leaders attitude.
So for me is better the f2p.
