I think the problem is that this server very quickly becomes like playing on app store server, eventually you will have to pay. Theres really no benefit to playing this as is (as a non spender) because after you burn through your initial gifts, you're left with a server in which no more benefits will unlock, no ongoing events in game, and hoping that the owner sends out a new code (randomly?). Most other server I play even if they are P2P sided, at least acknowledge that the game should be more enjoyable for everyone, not just people who pay, because then they will only play vs themselves.
Really not worth playing this server for anyone reading this, hope you dont waste your time.
