I am thinking about returning...been a few years since I played. I use to have a swash...Srax... Anyway...How's the servers...now there's only 4?
Pick one and see. Take your time and play F2P before you pay for it. Make sure you like the game and are having fun. Fallen Gate is a limited server and so you have to be a member to play there. Do look for a friendly guild that has goals that match yours. This game is so much more fun with friends instead of going solo.
I agree with Meneltel. Go FTP for now until you either find a guild and folks that make you want to spend the money on a sub. From the high number of complaints about the last two expacs, this will give you plenty of "buyer beware" time to decide for yourself.
