I recently started playing VG again about a week before the Sunset announcement with every intention to go gold once I got to level 20+, but now with the announcement I can't justify it to myself to spend $15 a month just to allow myself to wear this armor I keep finding in dungeons and whatnot when I don't even know if there will be a playerbase for me to play with in a month. I am only leveling through dungeon exploration as a DK+Shaman and right now I have outleveled most of my gear and am staring at a bag full of upgrades that I can't use.
I actually used the announcement as motivation to buy a 6 month subscription so I can make the best of the game's final days.
