Heya, I have just returned to SWL after a few years away; I also was seriously missing the atmosphere, ambiance and uniqueness of the game. I have been playing it daily the last 2 weeks and have met a great bunch of really friendly helpful players and it has been fantastic to be back in the game again. There is still a dedicated player base in the game everyday and I am seeing other new players in the lower levels so it may be that it is picking up again population-wise. I can also say that in the 4-5 years I was vacant from the game there have been a number of QOL adjustments to help players get around-especially with the cliff areas of the City of the Sun God zone; that place drove me crazy back in the day trying to get where I needed to go. It is free to play and from what I am seeing all progress in the game and in gearing up can be done without spending real money but the option is there with the arum sales thingies if someone wants. All I can say is give it a try and
see if you like it as much as you did before; I am enjoying it a great deal right now =0)
