Hi, I'm new here. I've seen some youtube video's of the game recently and wanted to know if it's worth playing the game. I played (and I'm still playing) ACE Online (North American), which still is awesome to me. At the moment I am waiting for episode 4 which will release soon. In the meanwhile I would like to test other stuff, but related to ACE Online. Does this game has the same gameplay as AO? How is the cash shop balance? What 'gear' should I pick (so we call it in AO, dunno here yet). Tnx
