I played beta and for about 3-4 months after release and then about 2-3 months after 2.0 came out before I left to go traveling. Since then my brother and friends have stopped playing, but I am tempted to start again. Is the game still interesting as a new player or is every one playing already end game and not doing anything low level? Is it easy to pick up everything that's changed since I left or will I feel lost?
