Okay, so I am already playing but I do have wishes that would excite me even more to play.
My main problem is that not many are about when I play. To me it looks like most people log on around happy hour time (the same time where it has always been the most players playing I think) and I am not able to play then as it is in the middle of the night for me. This wasn't too big a problem for me in the past as I could find ways to entertain myself and make a somewhat competitive character. It was possible explore areas and find decent and even top-tier equipment solo. This seems impossible now, except for very few items which of course are taken. I can only think of one or two viable builds for such exploration and I am not interested in playing that currently. Implementation of more no-magic rooms and heavy downgrading of equipment just makes it dull being around alone or with too few (friendly/allied) players to adventure with. Oh, and when I speak of the "past", I mean when I just started playing and the player count was about the same as now and there were almost no one playing in my day time. Later the player count was better all day long.
I am not putting my hopes up for changes to be rolled back. However I am hoping that changes will be made that makes the game more playable for those who reside in Europe (and perhaps other places such as US east coast? I heard it is a problem for them too?). I suggest more happy hours that are placed according to different time-zones. I remember the mud used to cater to a whole bunch of Europeans, Australians and what not. It's my gut feeling that I'm one of the very few left from Europe? Also I suggest that an imm or maybe even two from Europe (or another timezone other than west-coast) are let into the flock to assist with events for players outside the US and perhaps US night owls. Well, events aren't even needed - just active imms that interact with players in one way or another to give the game some of that "live" atmosphere "game masters" are so good at creating.
Other than that I have to say I think the game has become better in a great many ways the past year and kudos to the staff for that!
