“To be able to post a thread, you either need to reach an in-game level of 100, or purchase a VIP membership.”
Now, imagine that popping up on PW forums.
Why am I posting that? Well, I stumbled upon some game forums that don’t have a “Post…” button unless you either reach lvl 350 which takes ages, or purchase a premium membership for $12.50 a month.
Especially when you want to post because you cannot play the game in question at all.
