It has been a long time - some of you old timers may remember me - Blackslayer - The Divine - Semiazas - Gaerix
started in Beta - played when everything was going super - remember camping houses and villas just to be able to get one when they first came out -
before there was a Marketplace -
ToD came out - ok not so bad not so good - but kept on - then finally faded to the shadows - came back in 05 - nothing to jump up and down about - but My son and I were talking about old times and got us thinking -
AC iswhere we started and want to know - should we come back -
well I will leave that up to everyone - howz it going now?

Ask Hawkson and Qui Shiwa who are both recently returned and get their impressions  I have run across more 'old-schoolers' who have returned recently and I think it is great!

Hiyas again Passup does not work as it once did chainwise.
http://ac.wikkii.net/wiki/Passup_XP
A LOT of quest xp passes up now that generally did not use to happen tho. So you will not find elaborate chains like you once did...but I think the 'patron-vassal' relationship is still alive and well Truly...

I've been back about a month and a half, and I've been having fun. I was gone about 5 and a half years. Honestly, if you think you might have fun, it costs less than a movie in the theater to try it out.

Experience chains aren't necessary to make progress anymore. They've upped all of the creature xp and significantly upped almost all of the quest xp. Leveling is the fastest it has ever been.
There are new skills to play with: Two handed combat, void magic, gearcrafting.
There are new slots to fill: Trinket and Aetheria.
There's a new form of spendable xp to learn once you're at the end game: Luminance.
You will find enough to do to keep you busy and having fun for a while.

i really miss this game at times and find myself coming back yearly for a few months right around christmas - then i pvp for a bit, realize the server populations suck, and then quit for a bit. i know that isn't saying much, but the fact that this game still draws us in after 15 years is completely amazing.

This was the most addicting game I have ever played.
I still miss it ever few years and have come back once or twice but it's just not the same anymore. The community really made it for me years ago, it was almost like an interactive chat room.

^ That. I don't know what it is about this game, but from 00-05 I had a blast. The old subway before marketplace was around, Lugian Citadels, Glendenwood when it was FULL of people.
I started the migration process. Even if I only play once for the month I renew for it'll be worth it. To go through some of the old stuff I have, maybe run in to a few old friends and to hear the sound of that damn portal whisking you to wherever. For anything else this time might be the last time and coming back will put all the wondering about the game to an end.
Either way, Im excited.

I'm back after 6 years, I started to play back in 99/00. Stopped for a year or two, then came back right before DM got released, left again shortly thereafter and back now on MT/DT. As some posters have mentioned, what have u got to lose?, alot of folks comin back, and you never know, might get to see some old friends or make new friends again, I sure have.

Hawkson is back and is having a ball. If you have the people still here that you use to play with and enjoy the game with then you will still enjoy the game. That's what makes it fun, is the people you play with.
