Returning to Fairy two years later, how are things?

[mIze]

Hello, I'm just coming back to the game to check things out after two years. When I left, Chains of Promathia wasn't even out yet, and NA linkshells were just starting to get strong populations of 70-75's. So, I'm a little behind the times...

I'm really wondering what the server is like now. JP vs NA population, newbie mentaility (are they still so stubborn?), economy, strongest LS's (NA&JP), etc. If anyone feels like filling me in I'd appreciate it :).

Are you coming back with the same account or starting over?
Economy blows, but its slowly getting better. Do expect something of a panic attack when you first see the prices. I'm on really late, usually JP primetime, but I think there's a large NA population in comparison with JP. Powerful LS's, hmmm, not sure about any JP ones, but Thoseguys is big (killed Vrtra a few months ago). Theforsaken popped AV a few weeks ago, though their reputation is rather lacking. Lostparadise, Silentdawn, and Eden are some of the slightly smaller ls's, but they still do most everything endgame and are rather strong. Expect a lot of endgame drama when you reach it, Fairy has an abundance. To be honest, the Fairy boards here aren't highly active, especially with endgame players. If you want to know more about Fairy specifically (I can't believe I'm saying this) you may want to try the Killing Ifrit boards. Just please don't get drawn into the rampant retardedness and general lack of maturity that plagues those forums.
Give me a holler in the game, I'm usually on late during the week and at really random times on weekends.
