First, why do you think that you need $150 to play? The price of the game itself is down to about 30 bucks and after the 30 day free trial, (included with purchase), you will be shelling out $14.00 a month to play. At this rate, it will take you the better part of a year fo it to cost $150.00
Next, specifically, what did you want advice about? The game is both broad in scope and complex in detail with dozens or maybe even hundreds of things you could want to know more about. So where shall we all start?
And finally, the purpose of these boards is so that everyone here might learn, so if we send information to you privately, no one else can ever benefit. Much better if this thread grows and expands to contain useful information that can be shared by anyone in need, yes?
