dont waste your time joining A PUBLIC WORLD...for the most part their slanted because of heavy turn over....you want a world with active owners...and rules that prevent tanking....you want a friendly but competitive world....a world with a history and working HOF....in this world you'll get to know the players, because they are discussed ...here you'll know the owners, because for the most part we stick around....you'll learn who you can trade with, and who will try to get over on you....this is as real a MAJOR LEAGUE EXPERIENCE you'll get...without have to fork over a billion dollars to buy the yankees...make that 3
