    I could really care a less about people how have money to purchase these expensive items and then come on here to tell everyone about it.
    Not pointed directly at the OP I do not know him/her or what they may contribute to humanity but, People die of hunger everyday, Kids go without and are abused everyday...the list goes on and on.
    If more people would start looking around at what a mess this world is in and give a little back instead of saying look what new shinny thing I got we might all be better off in the long run.
    Someone else can say this very same thing to YOU next time you spend money in a way they think is stupid ... like buying online games and paying for internet ... and I know for a fact you've done both of those things. It isn't appropriate to come here and preach, and try to shame people for spending their own money. It's not your business what they spend their money on.
    I'm not buying this island, personally, because it's too expensive for me, but I'm not going to jump on here to shame people who do buy it. If I had millions to spend, I'd buy this island AND give money to charity, both.

    It's all well and good to be charitable, but that doesn't mean people can't have some fun in their lives. No one would be better off if there was no fun in life. Also, there are some 7 billion people on this planet, all with individual lives to lead within the scope of the circumstances they were born into. There is no way whatsoever that what any of us does in a video game matters either way in the grand scheme of things.

    If every single person on the planet above the age of about 14 contributed, say, the equivalent of $10 to charity, that would be $70 billion. But spread over the many hundreds of thousands of charitable causes around the world. It would essentially be nearly meaningless. Our government alone has spent trillions upon trillions trying to stamp out poverty, drug abuse and other social ills, but those problems are still with us. The reasons are many, but lack of charity is not one of them.

    What's the item limit? I'd be tempted to buy it if the item limit was a bit higher than the manors, but if it's the same as the manors then I don' think I will cause it will look a bit empty

    It gives us a break from rant threads? I like bitching as much as the next person, but it's nice to see someone happy with this, even if I think it's expensive.

    The money you spent on the base game could have fed a starving child in Africa for MONTHS.

    @rotaugen454

    The base game was a gift from a family member. So easy for you to make fun of something. You are part of the problem more than likely.

    So you've spent zero money on entertainment? Otherwise it is simply a matter of scale and hypocritical to complain about how others spend THEIR money.

    @rotaugen454

    I do have to pay for an internet connection but that is about it other than my sub that I pay per month.So I should just apologize for my statement and keep my mouth shut. People can spend their money the way they want and have more than they need or will ever use. It's a free county. I have had "too much" money it the past and found myself giving to those in need. that is not the case now. I'm a single dad rasing to boys

    Not @Darkestnght but approximately 40% of my gross income goes to taxes at the end of the year. I'd say that's more than enough charity from me.

    @Jaeysa As I've told everyone who's asked me if it's worth it, yes. It's without a doubt worth it. Worth every single crown. I don't know if you've visited it, and had a walk around for yourself. But, for what you're getting it is insane. Even for the unfurnished version (I got that that option), you're getting something truly remarkable. Besides, that feeling of knowing that you literally show-up by boat and leave by boat feels so classy. Be like, "Gotta take a boat to get to my house." Lol.

    As for the skin, it's Dro-m'Athra. The skin for beating VMoL. Matches my mount. :)

    @Darkestnght Not sure if sarcastic but I was defending you by highlighting that some of us pay ridiculous amounts in taxes of which, theoretically, a not-inconsequential portion goes to those in need.

    In reality? Ha.

    XD I probably will - just going to rant about the price. Because it's what nerds do. I've been looking for a good place to make my labrynth.

    And thanks! I'm glad it's still achievable - it's pretty enough I might try and join a group working towards it.
