Greetings to all!
I'm back after a very long vacation (several friends and I all left the game when the server merge was announced and all our hard work building up a beautiful plot was going away). But I haven't found anything since then that had anywhere near the complexity of multiclassing nor of crafting... so sigh I'm back.
For now, I can be found as Yildar on the Order shard, working towards battlemage.
I haven't found any really thriving communities, it's been kind of sad walking through areas I remember having lots of buildings but are now vacant lots. I suspect you're out there, deeper in the wilderness than I've wandered so far...
Several of you on Order have gone out of your way making me feel welcome - the quantity of players is a fraction of what it was... but the quality is there!
Good hunting - and crafting - to all. See you in Istaria!
