I left shortly after AoS and am now returning.

Has much changed?

First of all, welcome back to the game!

A bit has changed since AoS. Off the top of my head, there has been two expansions.

Samurai Empire introduced two new professions, Samurai and Ninja, as well as a new land to explore. New tamables including a ridable Hyiru dragon and a golden beetle that acts as a portable forge.

Mondain's Legacy introduced the ability to become and play an Elf, as well a quest system. A bunch of new dungeons, creatures, etc...

I'm sure there is more..other people will be able to fill you in because that's all I can think of right now! lol

Ridable dragon?!! Sounds nice!!!

A beetle that's also a forge? LOL that's a trip

Elf? hmm....gonna try making a dark elf hehe >: )

What's the housing situation/decay like now?

Housing is not bad. From what I understand there is still spots to be found on most shards. I know where I play (Napa) you can still find some pretty large spots.

Only one house per account, if you place a second house your first one will start to decay. Decay is about 7 days from start to the time it collapses. There are still a few IDOCs to be found from time to time.

I think housing is different shard to shard.

What shard are you going to be playing?

*awards Thradia 0 points for observation* *grins cheekily*
<------ Shard: Seige Perilous
There shouldn't be any problem at all placing a house on Seige. Terrain rule changes and new land in Malas and Tokuno means there are far more houses possible than previously. House decay now starts when an account has been inactive for 90 days, so some existing houses also have fallen.

lol...yeah ok I forgot about Siege...bad....there is lots of housing room on Siege. hehe
I answered last night before I went to bed...too lazy to look to me left for the info!!

Very Nice!! P That was part of the reason I left when Malas came out with AoS when it was released early to those who bought it from I forget who and all the housing spots got taken up in a day or so just to be sold on ebay

I don't see Seige Perilous listed anywhere with the the Shards. Is there something I've forgotten about having access to Seige?

btw I'm using a new acct cuz I gave my old acct to my bro.

You've got to renounce your young status to be able to logon to Siege/Mugen.

Damn I forgot all about that

If you need anything on Seige let me know. I don't have a crafter, but I have a few friends who can help you out with some starter equipment and what not.
