Hello all. I like many others was unfortunate enough to purchase this game when it first launched, and ended up kicking myself over spending the money. However, I am not one to hold a grudge, and since I have found myself looking for something new to play, and was curious how the game has fared over a year later. So really just your standard questions:

 

1) How has the game changed over the past year?

2) Have the performance issues been worked out for the most part?

3) If I do decide to pick it back up, how are the server populations looking?

 

Really I have been hearing a lot of good things from people these past few months, so it sparked my interest. I was actually planning on picking up AoC, but after playing PVP/Open/Closed beta I really don't think I am ready to drop $50+ on i, especially when I could check this out for only $15.

Lots of performance increases and bug fixes. A raid dungeon. Flying mount quest (Griffon and Wyvern). Lots of new 6 man content added with the flying mount quest.
2) Have the performance issues been worked out for the most part?
Still *some* performance issues like hitching. It has improved 1000x than a year ago however. The beginning of the hitching fix is on the test server and will be released with GU5.
3) If I do decide to pick it back up, how are the server populations looking?
If you're from the US then Xeth and Seradon have very high population. I think Seradon has slightly more. Halgar is the european server.

I'm enjoying it very much. Check out my blog at www.vgmonologues.net

"monologues" is the key word here, though
