The bads:Land of the Dead: It's pretty fun for lowbies! People have had some time to try out different gear items from the merchants and there is a lot of incentive to go there to farm items, power leveling and a very popular airship repeatable quest.
More Order premades: This means that even if you are at the mercy of pugs like I have been, there is a good chance that in any scenario during primetime, that you will be accompanied by an order premade to make things easier.
Free Trial Players: unlimited play means you will virtually always find players to play with in tier 1. Around the clock even. I was playing on destro the other day at like 7am in the morning with scenarios and a BO group even.
Stability: I've witnessed very few problems with the servers. The game really doesn't crash for me. Ironically though, they had a server outtage today but it wasn't related to the game but something is disconnected somewhere in Internet land.
Zone flips and City Sieges: a revamped system for zone locking and city sieging means a lot more opportunities to land some great gear and see some of the later game content. I've been on maybe a dozen city sieges as well as one king siege already with an *improperly* warded character but it was real fun to be out there and see destro's king.
So...I hope that helps you gain a better perspective of where things are at.Elitist Groups and Premades: Yes, I listed the premades as a 'good' but sometimes they can be not-so-good. There are a few elitist guilds out there that will run the airship PQ by themselves before you can get there. In premades, there are a few very good statted healers out there that will not rez you if you die and about half of those won't even toss you a heal. It can be frustrating sometimes but if destro is running a premade, they will win the scenario.
Our Guild: I hate to put this under the bad category but we don't have enough people to run a 6 man lair group or have our own scenario premades. Sometimes I really wish some people would come back so I can enjoy the game more with other christians but there's always a new game release out there or some person talking about another mmo (nothing wrong with it objectively speaking)...etc. By all means, if you come back and play, I will be there and there are two other guild members so you won't be alone. Also, people tend to have the sheep mentality. So if you come back and are having a lot of fun, it could inspire others to follow!
Gear: As Avesther mentioned, you will feel a bit undergeared for awhile. I have two characters wearing partial conqueror sets and one has full conqueror. Even with that, I still am considered a step down from what many people's mains have today. Many mains are wearing invader gear. You need to be Realm Rank 55 to wear all the invader gear. My highest RR is 47 (I think) and the first invader gear can be worn at RR 50 so I don't feel too far behind. However, getting to RR 50 is probably pretty easy if you concentrate on one character. I have four 40s right now and I jump around from character to character and it slows me down a lot. Overall, I know that I'm outgeared but I try to compensate by squeezing whatever I can out of my chars via talismans or liniment potions and spec experimentation. Overall, you can still play your character and make a contribution. It just isn't going to be easy sometimes when destro comes at you wearing their super powerful equipment.
