I would have been better off in Japan. My salary is kept “competitive” at my employer, and I HATE changing jobs (and its far too risky to with a kid, and id probably have to move anyway which is a deal killer).
The upside is that (so far) I have a pension.
















Kmmorpgs hold a special place in my heart though. One of spite and hatred.
RF Online, may it rest in the memory I had of it as a teenager, was my first foray into it. There was a brief window of time where the Grind excited me. There were no in game purchases. Of course there was a subscription. I killed two graphics cards and a CPU on it because I had it running 24/7. Then they nerfed the drops. Then they nerfed defences. Then they buffed the bosses so that only guilds with an extraordinary amount of players and wealth could beat them, THEN they made the game free to play and the 3-faction Chip Wars was never fun again.
