So I haven't played in 2 years and when I came back last time it was only for a month. The last time I remember playing seriously was maybe 2004 or so. I heard there was a new F2P system, and looking at the store online I gather they can't spell people up, What other restrictions are there for F2P?

Has there been a nice increase population?

How about events and stuff in Premium?

Most importantly, how is the roleplay situation? I mostly stayed in River's Rest, and it was usually good RP if you get over the mostly suicidal population, but was pretty dead at certain times of day.

Oh, and are monsters still going nuts with CMs? I need a returning runestaff... do they make those?
