    True, very true. If you don't have friends, it's really hard to play.

    You're taxed for owning a car? That's robbery if I've ever heard of it.

    High way robbery!
    *giggle*

    But yeah over here in Canada/United states So many people drive that it's become a integral part of our economy. Public transit over here is shit. In europe I think things are a little different, in asia they are massively different.

    There is wealth tax, but I don't know if a car is considered part of you assets (I think that's the correct English word, right?)

    We have to drive in North America because if you haven't realized North America is extremely large. There is no way public transit would be able to cover it all and even then it would be expensive as hell. We have the government running VIA Rail in Canada which is rail transport but that's king of expensive and doesn't go to that many places. Some people are trying to get high speed rail put in between Toronto and Montreal but the government says it's too expensive we need broken fighter jets more.

    You would die in 5 min without public (it's private bussines, oh the irony) transportation here.

    I haven't beat ME3, and aside from Battlefield 3, I haven't had to deal with EA. Bank of America > EA in terms of suck.

    Well there's the Inuit they have their own territory. There is also a very large amount of mining going on up there. Hopefully it would also reduce the cost of living.

    That is unsurprising.
    If you look at any MMO and add active, unrestricted PvP into it, inevitably the higher players will try to create fiefdoms for themselves by riding on the back-breaking labor of the lower players.
    Even Wurm Online gets this [even though technically the server on which we just set up our new village is limited PvP].
    I second this.
    BoA is much worse than EA. I can always go somewhere else for my games and it'd be much easier to boycott a new game and get the company to see reason than an unregulated international bank.
