well, AC is great, it has lots of content, and I can set you up with a good allegiance with lots of peeps that will help you out learning the game
the dark magesty expansion can be bought for 20 dollars with a twenty dollar mail in rebate, then the first month is free, but you have to have a Credid card (just like any p2p games)
I play on the Leafcull server, under the name bob the weird
my allegiance monarch is named tibbet tallfellow, and unless he\'s busy questing or muling, he\'s usually more than happy to talk to people, help them out, whatnot, my patron is dreammachine, his patron is paksenarrion,
other good names for you to contact are destinee, destinee toyama, destinee vendar(one player, hehe)
snave toyama, ah\'valene, tahira, and buffy bunnieslayer, although she isn\'t in my allegiance, she\'s a great person, I hunt with her a lot.
just don\'t talk about planeshifts there, they tend to take it personally, and boot you out of the game
