Well i have just upgraded to Imperial Edition from Standard because its so bloody hard to gather enough gold for a bloody Horse as they are really expensive for an in game mount with not enough gold earn, as you can upgrade both horses pretty much the same anyways.

I'm level 32 and still only just been able to scrimp and save 32k along with repairs and buying crating items its hard.
the Guild Stores just don't help as hardly nothing sells (especially with fees) and with a 30 day item list you are contently having to check and pull stuff off and re list.
i love this game but these things are my biggest beef with this game and couldn't get the Imp edition originally.

i suspect many of you also have done the same or just bought the Horse from store.

if i were you many other players that did only buy the Standard Edition i suggest you buy the horse or just upgrade.

edit:- what i mean is i think its easier ti have the horse at level 10 rather than the hassle of trying to save and for every character you make in future has basic mount and bank space.
