Well, I'm back after a long break. I'll be logging in a few days in the next week to go see what's new and see if I'm enjoying myself. If I'm not, I probably will hang it up indefinitely, but if I enjoy it, of course I'll stay.
Here's what I have observed so far:
1) I love the new PC, but it seems that the "choppy" lag is still there. The difference this time for me is that on the downside it only hits about 15 FPS when it chops, up to about 50-75, even in combat, which is nice.
2) The shard seems more populated than before. Tons of new names, not sure how many are altsand how many are new players.
3) The new player chat channel is going very well!
4) No observations on the economy.
5) Loot has improved. Nowhere near where I'd like it and I'm not sure if it's enough to keep my interest.
6) It was refreshing to see the graphics again. The game still is beautiful.
We'll see how it goes, but this might be my last go at it.
It was great to talk to some old friends.
