Well, I got the newbie package starting on a new server and I do like Maria. She makes me score 600+ as a newbie in the labyrinth, since I do not have to bother health refill anymore, so I do not have to walk to the fires of life and waste scores there. I do not regret my purchase. So instead of feeling bad on having to fight players with a Maria, I joined them. I am still less than 200 000 power, but defeat 350 000 power players, adding already some good runes on her.
