I mean this in the least rude way, of course. I know the new source drove some people away and am unsure about the community/ population now, so is the game worth coming back to in it's current state?
That's completely up to you. There's at least 300+ players online daily, most features are working relatively fine now. Scrolling, trading, grinding, leeching...that's pretty much all working. Bossing is a bit hard because there's a d/c issue going on. Anniversary event is ongoing for the next 2 months.
Most features is kind of a stretch, but progress is definitely being made, unless you mean the stuff we've already gotten is working relatively fine. I would say start playing again if you already have a character made that you want to play & if you can function without FM shops & teleport rocks.
The game is almost ready, the only things left now are stores, creation/registration, dc issues, a couple of skills and we are all set. You can farm things now and fund your future char, or grind and level you current. Most important things are working now, except for bossing (which is technically working, but unless you have a GM mule you are not going to finish any boss).
Yes!! It's fairly active now & there are events, etc. The cash shop is up & things are starting to work too. Have fun!
