Yes, Another "Should I Come Back?" Post

I've played PWI on and off for a few years now. It was actually the very first MMO I ever played (Rising Tide expansion) and I fell in love. I always seem to naturally gravitate back towards the game around the holidays because I remember some of the holiday events I experienced years ago.
So my question is, should I come back to the game? Has anything changed? From what I remember, the economy was somewhat in the toilet, finding groups for any content below lvl100 was nearly impossible, it was costing $$$ to get the highest level gear, and stuff broke a lot. I also just read about that Lvl95 stone they're giving away, which admittedly somewhat peaks my interest (as it's intended to do) but I am not looking forward to hundreds of high-level noobs running around more than anyone else.

Welcome back to madness!~
You should return if only to behold the fun to be had from what you can do nowadays. Nothing much has changed in that aspect. Where there is will, there's plenty of things to do and work toward.
However, however... What did change is some general content and obviously, new classes got implemented. The economy is still asinine and you might find coin making more difficult now with all DQ, even high level ones, decreases to 1 coin worth. (As well as armor drops. Right now, materials seem to be the only thing capable to earn you profit, but they are monsters to farm)
Low level content, especially now with those power leveling stones, is going to be the same deserted wasteland FC got us used to. Save for a select few who either play the new classes or have decided to bypass the stone and actually play their way through high levels.
It still costs a lot of either cash or time to achieve top tier gear. The coveted r999 or g16 if you'd rather not go first option.
And, stuff still breaks every once in a goblin's dream.~
You'll see plenty of undergeared high levels now running around and trying to make sense of their state. If you do not have the benefit of a high leveled main to leech coin and gear from to help you out, you are going to strain a little.
For PvE, you don't need epic monster gear to survive. What worked a while back in that aspect will still work today if you are careful and know how to toss up your cards at the right time.
Speaking of which, there are actual cards in game now that offer a variety of bonuses as well as Nuemas to be drained from certain killed bosses that also offer a permanent boost as you level the tiers. If you cannot afford OP gear, Nuema portals should be one of your main focuses. They make up for any shortcomings you might have with surprisingly decent stats.
I'd say to also find some decent friends to play with and maybe a faction, unless you like to play alone and only use random groups with no attachments.
For anything else, there are readily available guides lying around and waiting for you to discover them.~ Enjoy your time in one of the most contradicting and blissfully annoying game ever. ^_^
Brace yourself for trolls, drama and shady people that are as abundant as in any other place.
P.S.
The 'endgame' is overhyped and at times outright stupid. Do things your own way and don't rush from peer pressure. You'll miss out on some things or feel overwhelmed. Establish your own pace and goals, keep to them!"There are two things you cannot always reason with in this world - your own mind and the minds of other people. But you can try."0
