Should I return?

[-Max- 20]

Hey people,

 

I used to play LoTC about 2 years ago, and quit shortly after working on the 3.0 map due to real life responsibilities. I just wanted to gauge the community to see what the state of the server is, and to determine whether or not I should return. How good is the consistent server population? Are there lots of people in a few locations or are they spread out across a bunch of different towns? Also what have there been any systems implemented to facilitate combat? I remember that RPing combat was rather difficult due to the tendency of everyone to powergame in subtle ways, when this probably could have been prevented through some kind of DnD esque combat dice system. Also, what sort of opportunities are there for a player starting out brand new? I recall it was pretty difficult to get a footing when just joining the server. If someone could answer these questions I would be very grateful!

You are asking people who play on the server at the moment.

Most answers are gonna be yes.

I think so.

what have there been any systems implemented to facilitate combat?

You can roll in combat if you want.

What sort of opportunities are there for a player starting out brand new?

Use /bread and rp your way into whatever you aspire to do.

How good is the consistent server population? 

What?

 

Just join and have fun if thats what you want to do.

-Number of people: 30 minimum, 150-ish regular, 300 people at max (during battles)

-People are currently quite spread, but not to concern with incativity, because chances to find rp is decent

-Rp battles are still an issue, people mostly use pvp default, or rolling a dice (Some hate it, some like it)

-On the topic of starting out: so many things you can do, people you can join (Of course you need to find active guilds and such) so it's not an issue to get a good start on the server

I'm somewhat in the same situation.
