Untrue. I don't think you've played iClassic enough.. There are players like EP that dedicate all of their Graal time to PKing.. and as a result, have 340k+ PKs. If that's not hardcore gaming, maybe the sparrers with 30k+ wins would count as "hardcore gaming".

And I play both games. I find Era more fun for "gaming", and I find Classic more as a social network to talk with friends, show off graphic art (uploads seem a LOT more prominent in iClassic than iEra), etc. I wouldn't say one is technically "better" than the other, just that they were created and are used for different purposes.
