Welcome baaaaaaack. You're returning to this game after an enormous amount of changes; character revamps (everyone is good), map rebalancing (Klaus moonwalks), aggressively simplified … (more)level/gear progression (the game literally gives you gear sets as you level up. And they're tradeable. Flipping tradeable), somewhat streamlined story progression (# of items needed, side missions, main missions have been adjusted), and a marketplace that now sells a bunch of NX items (not inner or hair coupons tho ). It kinda sucks that you lost your old characters but with all these changes I don't think you're in a bad spot.
And to top it all off, Neamhain has arrived and gives the player base an end game raid to prep for.
As for the lonely feeling, a lot of the s1 content can be solo'ed. Your best bet in finding people to play with is gonna be either through guilds or beginning the end of season 1 raids. Quick Battle is the new feature that lets us do any run without needing to go to a board, so many players are using that. It's not perfect, but it's damn snazzy so far. Boats fill fast though, so don't be deceived if it looks empty. The spring semester has also started for a lot of players so a bunch of people are busy.
If you don't mind running with a scrub, I usually get on around 10pm. I'm normally running around as my Evie (ign Lleiana) or Arisha (ign Syif).
