How is the game?

My point stays, even if ignored. If you get something (like leveling while offline) that cannot be gotten in the game no matter how much you want to grind, merely by paying some money, that is the literal definition of Pay To Play.

Meanwhile, yeah back to the origin of this thread.
As mentioned, several new areas and an additional race @MGO. Skills are way higher now also (80). As to game play.. I already mentioned I dropped several games while remaining here, so that sort of answers that (at least for me).
Just wander back in and poke around.

What do you get that has use in gameplay that cannot be ground out otherwise? Besides some slots for the item or character storage?

Because you claimed " pay pay pay pay pay to play" not just pay to win. Which makes your unreasonable over-exaggeration extend from a skewed viewpoint to a level of ignorant dishonesty.

Ahh, thanks for that. I would have bet money it would get to name calling and smears eventually.
My skewed view - ignorant dishonesty was in the quote you forwarded. Did you actually read it or just click on reply to snark on me?
Leveling while offline. (where do you go to grind that?).

At least the horses could be gotten in game - so Horse Packages were not restricted to a paywall, so they fit your definition.

I am as much a fanboy of Gorgon as anyone, yet you are acting like I dissed the game? All I said is there is now a money menu and you can rebrand that however you wish, but it is still there.

I will repeat my comment once more. If you wish to pay a subscription fee for a beta to gain perks otherwise not available in the game, have at it.

@drum - Yeah. It's time for this to stop. In case you feel you have to try to get the last word in on that, I'll just say: I won't repeat myself. You managed to turn an innocent question into your own personal tirade. I hope I do not see this again. Ever.

A lot has indeed happened in the four years or so you have been gone. So have you decided to rejoin the game?
What are your reactions so far, if so?
The new skill levels can be costly and a bit of a grind, but that isn't a new thing and exploring the new areas can at least make it more interesting than killing another 1500 goblins.
Ahh, goblins. Catalog Goblins were added to the player vendor areas including the added Casino in Eltibule, so finding the necessary needful thing at least got easier if nothing else.

As tedious as it sounds, searching the forums for Update Notes and scrolling them from back in time when you stopped might be your best bet for a heads up, or just rejoin the game and start the adventure.
So long gone, it will be like playing for the first time.

I am wondering how development has come along?
Is there chat combat log yet?
Does the GUI still have the odd grey box?
Really, I would like to know if current players feel that it is worth getting back in to.
What is the player base like? [Active times (US)/ est. numbers]

Thanks for your time!

I guess it depends on why you stopped playing initially?

Fundamentally the game is the same game. It still has its unique, quirky mechanics if that was something that you liked. The world has expanded and there have been some quality of life changes and new skill inclusions. Better visuals.

On the other side the game is still really really grindy and there seems to be a thing of adding new content like skills that are not very fun at all when you first start using them. You guessed it, you have a massive grind to get to a point where they start to feel fun. As previously stated there is now a pay to win element if that is something that bothers you.
