I'd say the server is doing pretty good for itself, consistently hitting above 200 players even on weekdays and tech team coming out with quality of life improvements every now and then like the Aviary plugin and the item edit GUI. War stuff seems to have been in a bit of a weird state from my outside perspective of it but looking at the response with stress tests and the like to fix those issues does make me happy.
As for anything roleplay I can't really say a lot as I mostly confine myself to Nevaehlen/Illivira and Druid stuff and honestly don't really head out to other nations and settlements other than the odd visit to Krugistan which does seem to be doing good for itself.
I think during my 10 years I've had a lot of fun playing my Halfling Harold, probably one of the main reasons I'm still playing on this server as they were the character that really ended up digging into the magic and event side of the server and introducing me to the halfling and druid communities with a big shout out to @Archipelegofor being the one dragging me into it. Though right now I do feel like I do have the most fun on my goblin Gul'ash.
