Platnium Boxes

I buy scrolls, mounts, teleports, banners and fireworks. I have never purchased anything from a lucky box and have very nice gear and have given away a lot of nice gear. I am considering trying the platinum gem box for the first time, but it really isn't necessary.

I don't think Regnum has any imbalance between premium and not premium at all, other than that it takes forever to level if you don't scroll, and that everyone needs a horse. A plain brown horse costs about $2.50, or the price of a Starbucks latte, small size. Inevitably, there are more good items than there are high level players, so good gear gets passed around. Every player 45 and above I know has quality gear.

Finally, I don't object to premium buyers having some advantage. In Tennis, if you purchase an awesome racquet you will probably get a few more points. Marathon runners have very expensive sneaks. Same deal. Nobody mandates that Tennis players use wooden racquets from the 70s. All in all, gear is not nearly as important as battlefield awareness, the absence of which gets you killed far more often than having no const on your tunic. If your gear sucks than just look at it as a challenge to beat those with good gear, and brag when you win.
