Hey, and glad you found to the VGN-Community!
First of all, All of the VGN Games are not Pay2win. You can buy alot Items with Real Money, but most of it is good buyable from other Players. Making Money is Smooth and you have no Problems on getting these Items.
Nostale is the atm biggest Community here, with alot Players on daily. I would even say more active Players than Offical atm.
However, I wish you good luck in every Game you try here!
