The servers not being wiped was also one of the biggest draws for me - there is no other MMORTS that I'm aware of that goes on indefinitely, and that was a huge draw for me.
Some other MMORTSs have restarts and, yes, it does work for them and, yes, you are able to buy in-game items with money. But in that case you know, ahead of time, that in 3-9 months the server will restart, so you're an informed consumer.
