My personal scope, to anyone who is on the fence on this issue;

I just recently came back myself. I'm having tons of fun already! Have a huge set of goals already planned, and old friends to help with them, and lots of new faces around too.

Is it the same game it was in '08? not so much
Is it still a good/great game? YEEUUHH

sure leveling is faster now, but it is not like it's the only thing to do.
