Opening weekend -> lagged out server.
Weeks up until recent -> bragging about exploitation on forums without heavy GM beat downs.
Currently -> fairly stable pop, items starting to pop up for sale cheap. I think Steaks is actually headed in the right direction, and of course for a deserving profit re: time invested. Once items become more prolific and people learn to use forum RNF or PLing services open up.. I think things will be on the ups.
The PvP and mage pets of doom shit has mostly subsided here, so low levels shouldn't be getting too discouraged. I've talked to a couple new players who said they're pretty happy starting here and notice a lot of the little things that make it classic.
My advice to the starting players from here is make a guild, talk amongst yourselves about play times and what classes you are willing to play and go from there. It's nothing the red players at the top right now (level wise) didn't do before launch.
