I guess my first question is: should I? Are the populations large enough? It was getting really bad when I left.


2. Are bots still possible with the assorted patches?


3. What is the current best PL class with a bot? I don't really care for this type of play, but I doubt there would be many people for me to level with through the lower levels anymore.


4. What is current FOTM OP class? Does this new patch change anything?


5. Does anyone have room in a guild for a casual player? I am assuming ywain is my server choice


Thank you for your time and hope to see you out there!

Still has a decent population, although it depends on your realm of choice. Hib always seems to be low on the totem pole.

2. Are bots still possible with the assorted patches?
Bots will still have better buffs then the realm enhancers.

3. What is the current best PL class with a bot? I don't really care for this type of play, but I doubt there would be many people for me to level with through the lower levels anymore.
Sorry...can't answer this one since I don't really PL. With the way things go anymore, no need for a pl. You can level you're way up through the battlegrounds pretty quick.

4. What is current FOTM OP class? Does this new patch change anything?
Not sure about this one either. Bainshee's were for a few and locks seem to be in abundance atm.

5. Does anyone have room in a guild for a casual player? I am assuming ywain is my server choice happy
Always see guilds spamming in game, so I'm sure it won't be hard to find one. You're server choices now are pretty limited to Ywain, Mordred or Gaheris. If you go Ywain, I'd stay clear of Ywain 1 & 2 for housing reasons. Much easier to find housing on the other 8 Ywains. Assuming of course you'll want a house.

This has been a big month, population is very high on all 3 realms(and it is busy around the clock thanks to the Euro players), I've been back for 2 months, and it has been a lot of fun. It is more zergy then I like, but we are starting to get more and more 8v8. Our guild has been averaging about 20krps/hour (but there is a rp bonus atm)

2. Are bots still possible with the assorted patches?

Bots buffs are better them the buff merchant, so you get some added benefit with a bot, but you can get by without one.

3. What is the current best PL class with a bot? I don't really care for this type of play, but I doubt there would be many people for me to level with through the lower levels anymore.

leveling will be even faster after the next patch(it was already a lot faster then 2 years ago), I expect there will be lots of players leveling up new toons. also you can transfer you toons over from the old servers. If you were on classic make sure you to the ML quest before you transfer. It will give you ML 1-5 for free. you need to do the quest on each toon. The quest is just talking to some guy, and he gives you tokens. Even if you want to roll new toons you should transfer over your old toons for your loot and coin.

4. What is current FOTM OP class? Does this new patch change anything?
depends on if you want to solo or run in a group

5. Does anyone have room in a guild for a casual player? I am assuming ywain is my server choice
Log in see what guilds are active at the time you play.

Thank you for your time and hope to see you out there!

The population is pretty decent, though as mentioned, Hib tends to have a bit less, with Alb tending to have the most.

Absolutely, assuming you're talking about buffbots and such, though they're trying to make it so that bots aren't *necessary* to compete.

On Hib, chanters are probably the top, though animists are really good as well. On Alb, I think necros are still preferred for PLs, though I'm not sure. On Mid, I have no idea.

There are a few classes that many people would consider OP. Necros, all assassins (NS's are probably mentioned the most), and warlocks come to mind as being commonly considered OP, for varying reasons.

Hmm, it might be hard to find a guild on Ywain... ;P As always, there are some guilds that are HARDCORE SERIOUS OMG YOU MUST BE RR2BILLION TO JOIN, and others are more laid back. You shouldn't have much trouble finding one.

Also, if you are transferring your characters over to Ywain from the archived servers and you don't like their names, create some new characters with the same name on Ywain and when you transfer the old ones you can choose them a new name.
