I've played this game for a long time, and not once have I've ever bought a membership. I'm always a crown payer to buy my areas so I can have them forever. Right now. I have enough to complete Avalon, or start and complete grizzlehiem and wintertusk. I'm not sure what to pick. If I do gh and wt I'll be able to get at least 5 new spells, as well as some pet quests. I'm not really a fan of the spells I'd be getting other than guardian spirit though. On the other hand, if I do avalon, it'll be more fun and I'll get more experience. I'll also be able to do an area of azteca and Aquila, where as gh and wt will drain all my crowns. My friends are saying doing Avalon is better, what do you guy think?
:( Hard choice. I personally loved Wintertusk and it's one of my favorite places still-the music is ridiculously good and the story is awesome. However, Avalon is super fun too, and at this point, would probably be more level-appropriate for you. In all honesty, you'll most likely burn through Grizzleheim too quickly to even think about it, but then Wintertusk will take more time and will be more fun. This has caused me a lot of internal struggle, but I'm gonna go ahead and say do Avalon. Have fun with whatever you choose!
