Hello!!
So how much do people use to spend in IM?
I see they offer some cool bonus when you buy a amount of IM but, How good is that bonus when you spending a bit more on it?

Well at 100$ in the 30% tier you get an extra what 30$ worth of IM, thats an extra 3k IM points. seems legit to me. Plus with your 5% monthly bonus, you get another 5$ worth, so theres 500 more points. Grand total if you loaded 100$ at the beginning of a month [even if its to last like 8-9 months, you still get a total of 13.5k IM. at 60/100 thats 8.1bil zuly worth of IM. the 3.5k bonus gives you 2.1bil alone.

This is an online game, people have been known to spend tens of thousands of dollars on them. That being said you shouldn't spend more than you can afford as should be obvious to anyone. It's all relative, $100 sounds like a huge amount to you, it's not even a noticeable drop in the bucket to others. I just started back up recently, for me it's $15 that gives me the 1200 point premium package, that gives me my premium, 1200 IM points (so premium is free) and 300WP left over meaning I get 5 months while paying for 4. At this point I don't need to be a trillionaire so buying IM points to sell isn't necessary, I bought a set of katars this month but after I out grow those I'll start looking for an in game set to use, other than that I really don't use much from the IM. I guess at some point I'll get a stat reset, I have a bad habit of clicking the wrong button, but at this point it's not affecting me yet so meh.

oh I see
I get it cost of living is much higher per dollar in the US than in the RP. I just use the good ole dollar conversion rate.

Because here 265 Dollars you can pay for the Electricity bill,Water and the Tellephone but you will only have barely enough money left to pay for other things

To put that in perspective, my electricity, cable, internet and heating bills total $600 a month. (I have some issues causing the electric bill to jump through the roof =/)

US isn't as awesome as some of our retarded inhabitants claim it to be. You might make $3000 a month, but your cost of living is most likely 2,400 in that area. As for me, my cost of living is only 550 rent, 100 electric, 230 phone, 40 internet, 200 car insurance[for 2 cars], 80 for gas, and around 200-300 for food. Put my monthly expenses at 1,500 bucks but I only made around 2k a month at my last job, good checks maybe 2,500. But that's cost of living for 2 ona commision based job. 8/h @ 40/week only equates 1280 a month BEFORE taxes. Majority of Americans are living below the poverty line.

I started this game like less than 3 months ago. On my first day itself, I already Lucky Spinned myself a full set of white samurai, black samurai, and 3-4 sets of purple and red magician suits, not to mention the double xp medals i bought to lvl me all the way to 230. Till this day, I think i've spent like 600USD on IM alone. I like those costumes and sometimes do some IM Vending in-game.

As long as you can afford it and know where the line is, I guess its okay to spend some money on your hobby. So it varies, some make 250$ USD per month, and some like me already spent 200USD per month on the game alone. Side note, I am not from the USA.

I am not spending a $100 a month but in my case M3talcore may have a point. I really need to rethink my life in relation with this game in particular.

Oh I am not speaking for everyone else.

they heart ur wish:P ninja is back.

now on topic:
I just play for a month now and i just looked at my purchase and discover that i spend like $100,- too in this game.
But in the near future this wil be reduced becuase i have almost the stuff i wanted. and becuase im almost done with my
internship that pays pritty wel.
Besides i gonne buy a game pc! then im saved from all the lagg from my proccesorXD!

NVM i already found this what i said next
btw: can i find anywhere what a premium account include? Can't find it that fast. not even on the purchase page.
