I actually picked up the game again, and worked at leveling last night.
I'd just like to tell the community here, that the game is no more fun than it was, the content at high levels is very poor and severely lacking (according to nearly everyone in chat) and FunCom have only served to piss off paying customers with the multitude of old players coming back and again trying to sabotage their game.
I'm really struggling to see all this 'new great stuff' all I see is some dungeons that have had content added, where it was totally missing before, instanced parallel zones and buggy mass scale PvP, that right now is a waste of time.
While it does look nice, it's really a hollow promise from FunCom, there just isn't the depth that other AAA titles have. For them to say it's vastly improved, is inaccurate, but we've all come to expect that from FunCom. Itemization might be better, but it was sooooo bad at release, worse than I've ever seen. Vanguard stands up as a superior game to this, trouble is, no one plays that anymore, there servers are curiously more empty than AoC.
If you are tempted to resub, can I suggest that you save yourself a little time, and maybe just rejoin LOTRO for a little light hearted entertainment. Computer games are supposed to be fun, this is just going to serve to be a time sink, while you slowly realize that you've wasted your summer playing a poor quality release, which is now on life support.
