I'm still active, and will be through the forseeable future. Since my old account got deleted (I was a veteran of I9, NCSoft, why?), I never got the chance to purchase Paragon Points or a VIP account when getting back into the game.
Thus, I'm on Beta pretty much exclusively. 'Course, if we can save the game, and do away with those cash shop features, rest assured I'll be on a Live server with a vengeance.
