hmm depends
since the clustering peeps seem a little confuzzled (i am)
some peeps post here - some peeps post FH - some peeps only do in guild some peeps only do in /as
and some peeps make posts for peeps to sign up on the day so REALLY need to keep eyes out

Well, frontier can look a bit empty now at times due to the loss of about 2/3 of the population on Excal/Pryd (thanks to Classic servers mainly) and we still have lag fests due to the French telecommunications platform.

MLs come one trial once in a while and you either plan your time around them or you will need lots of time to make it to ML10.

Arti raids have gone the way of the dodo it seems too.

So that's the bad news.

Good news is that DR has nice storyline (I managed to do it three times before getting bored), a nice variety of horses (where prices range between 1p and 15p per horse - horse = 150% land speed) which actually work nicely.

A pure buffbot account doesn't need DR expansion - but it be better a bard then as a druid would have trouble being stuck to you when you are on a horse. Then again there is a 250g horse that everyone can have and it works PvE only.

RvR is about less than half level activity since clustering (number of RPs per week).

And CLs are quite easy. With some hunting in between doing the CL quests brings you to CL3 (each boss mob in the level 50 part gives 4 bubs plus Cromcruiach has another 5 - not counting the roadkill here). Finding enough healers to make it work is trouble at the moment.
The benefit of doing the CL quests: A nice good looking and useful weapon with two useful abilities (like MCL2 on 12 min timer on caster staves).

Levelling CLs in PvE is a bit of a grind but is perfect if you level arties alongside. RvR is a good boost to CLxp if you manage to kill Albs and Mids.

Next patch brings following major changes:
- Arties only require credit and scrolls - you then receive unlocked artifact
- Scrolls are easier to obtain as there are no rare scrolls anymore
- Hybrid Love + Assassin Love !!!
- Changes in RPs given and gained
- /autoloot !!!!!!!!!
- Heavy Tank Love !!

Sounds like theres as much bad as good

Well I am activated and will see if it works

-hmmn Kess rp/week stat side is broken since 2-3 weeks now, so you really cannot say there is less activity

ooh
the next patch appt you can join guilds from excal and their guilds can join the pryd alliances and vice versa so think this will help greatly also

It's actually been very busy. Agramon has picked up a hell of a lot since christmas, and frontier rvr has been extremly busy. Also expect this activity to increase after patch and as people complete CL stuf.

This is because people are doing CL's. There were a decent amount of raids pre DR. The focus will be back on ml raids post patch.
