Paying or not those of us that keep up on current news in the gaming world and knew of the beta testing should have been founders and any other paying members should have been just that paying members, this may sound mean but hey i hear people complaining everyday about how badly this game plays but they weren't here for the beta so i just tell them shush.... us testers suffered through constant crashes alot more then what's going on now so yeah we should have gotten something in return like the founders status and maybe the free unlimited accounts that were rumored but you can't win everything.
just to prove what i mean read this
