If you take in all that you get with the gold Version, the price is worth its purchase. If you read the forum and MM site, you will see that the game company gives the best support then any other gaming company, the forum is the best on the net, the members are friendlier then other forums, PLUS all the different mods available, plus all the mod updates, new races, ship sets, and continuous upgrading, and more... You may want to send MM or Shrapenl an PM and see what they would charge you in comparison to where you can buy it over there..... Play the demo and see what the game is like before you buy

just some ideas mac
