Maybe a month from now it will take 1.5 or 2k to get in and it will be even harder for the avg player to get in.
There is also the possibility of, in a month or two from now it will be less than half of what people invested today. So always invest at your own risk. :)
Hopefully they will decide to create other ways to enter and the amount to get in will be lower
I think I read somewhere (or was it in one of their AMA live streams) wherein they are planning to create a totally Free2Play system in which every new account will be given 'temporarily' 3 Free Axies for them to start playing.
The catch however is that they will only be earning around 5% of what the current players are earning in a day. It's totally free but one can only earn very little. It's probably just to let people test out the game or something first before they deciding whether it suits them or not.
Don't quote me on this though but I think I read this somewhere.
