I see changes I've been waiting on for a long time (emain more like a BG now) which entices me to come back.

What I don't understand is where all the players went now that we have great change like this?

Looking over the change log from the year I was gone, I also see a lot of other things that improve solo play. (was never a fan of buff barrels anyways)

Only equipped weapons being poisonable. (does this mean assassins can't carry around 20 poisoned weapons anymore).

A lot of styles being fixed.

Taj being removed (how are the items being handled, btw?)

Lots of classes getting small fixes in weapon styles.

----------------------


What I'm trying to say is that changes like nerfing assassin and medallions to emain will probably have me come back.

Are there any other big changes like this I may have missed that brings balance to end game RVR? Now that you cap at 3l2 from the BG's is it harder to make the transition to emain than it already was?

My nature druid was always my favorite toon, can anyone go over if they're better or worse now? I'm seeing increased DOT dmg but does the fact that buffs finally work on pets make a difference? Is druid pet any better, ie more reliable proc at higher nature or something to that effect?


Most importantly, where are the players? I see only 80 online this morning. Was doing periodic checks over the past months waiting for changes and remember seeing 200-300 commonly online this time of morning. Can't believe they all left cuz of BG changes or something like that.

Lots of people left to go to Origins it seems.
I think they were angry at all the changes GMs made to Uthgard.
To be honest, I don't blame them.. but Uthgard has become a ghost town ...
Except for the retarded high RR hibs like Keep Raiding (Jaria, Juton, etc)
And sad pathetic keep campers like Ghazal.

They left because of the changes that haven't been made...
I don't know anyone that left because of no barrels, serenity, half rps when dead, reduced DET... And so on and on...
