I can not really say I ever left, so I cannot really say I have come back.
What I can say is I am more or less back from an extended leave.
I will not be playing as much as I once did, but I am still grinding away on my lair, someday to have it finished, and I will be popping in from time to time.
anyway, I am a Veteran of Istaria, started playing about six months after the game fist came out, back when Atari was still the big word.
