See, I've been playing for 3 days. I'd be living if I said I knew what [i]any[/i] of that meant. However, I do understand what it's like to see a game devolve from its former glory through new story, and the overall crumbling of a community. It's never fun. That's why I'm both glad and worried as a new player. As a new player, I get to experience everything anew, but I am also joining a game in its decline. Sad to say, I'm likely making a mistake by starting so late in the games lifespan (a whopping 11 years late) but still, whatever enjoyment I can get out of it, I will gladly take. All the same, I hope that new expansion reignites the game for the older players. And for you as well.
