I'm leaving RoM

I hate to say this but I'm leaving RoM. With the in-game economy the way it is, I can't seem to progress at a respectable rate any more. I can't afford to spend real money on it and it just costs too much gold to buy diamond items from others. The game has gotten to the point where I load up once a day, start my bot WP string to do my dailies and mini games and log out. The whole thing has become a chore for me. It just isn't fun any more, only thing that was keeping me in the game was the community but even that isn't holding me any more.
I ended up getting into the closed beta for Eligium (also being run by Frogster). Had a lot of fun playing it and finding/reporting the bugs. At times laughing at the horrible translations and other times just scratching my head in confusion. All in all I had a great time. Closed beta just ended and I'm now waiting for open beta to start. Get this: They have a built in bot you get to use at level 25+. Ya, really. It fights for you, drinks pots, loots, everything. You can set it up, leave your comp to do some other stuff or go to bed or whatever and it'll just keep going for you going from mob to mob. You can set it up so that it will follow another character and as long as you don't zone it will fight whatever target the person you're following fights or it can heal/buff them. Or if you want to control the moving and have it fight and loot, you can do that too. Pretty versatile little bot. Just don't try setting a path with it yet, that part is a little buggy still. But ya, I really need to be on a game where I'm enjoying myself again.
