I've been playing cats since it was released 3 years ago, and I have to say I am a lvl 60+ f2p, and although I don't get new cool stuff right away it's available for free soon after in some big event and I get them for free. I have been through the glitches, tweaked items, reworked game modes, all of which I have to say zep has been good about fixing eventually. I think they are pretty fair to the f2p player, so anybody can play and enjoy cats. I do. The devil is in the details folks. Winning!
