hi ronk,
It's a kind of difficult to answer if it's "worth it". The community is small but active. Frankly, you can forget about the first M in MMORPG. But, the few of us would certainly welcome a returnee vet.
Besides, lots of things happened in the meantime if you haven't played for 8 years. We have clans to begin with.
It really comes down to whether you have fun playing it and certainly you get get some for a while, at least until you explore what you've missed. And by then, you are hooked : )
Cheers, EG
