Whereas in fact there is such a possibility (Bellular News calculated that the maximum leveling of a character can cost $ 110 thousand). In response to criticism, the game designer stated that he was misunderstood.

▪ People familiar with the author of Abandoned doubt that the game really exists. This became known from a large investigation published by GameSpot.
