that is pretty bad. I'd think the EU would try to impose at least a little price control among its member states. Or is Sweden not a member? (I personally thought it was)
You should move to the US. Richest country in the world, highest level of technology, best medical and dental care (if you can get union-brokered insurance, anyway), cheapest food in the world (cause we produce just so damn much of it we have to pay farmers NOT to farm), and slightly less infuriating taxes. Sort of.
Anyway, to the Swedish locals (along with practically everyone on this board who has posted), you guys are what keep it interesting, and have helped keep an otherwise dead (but great) game alive and kicking on the web.
