Back after a while, what's changed?

I've been away since, oh, probably the end of 2010. What's changed since then?

Also: did the incremental downloader go away? I remember being able to download the base client and then it downloaded the areas as I went.

Well since you have been gone there have been a few changes. The big one I get a lot is that the forums are broken. 1/2 the time I cant submit a reply due to auto log out or some other apache error. Assuming you will see this here are some changes in the last year:

Raid boss HP were increased, apparently just decreased in u12 with some new tricks added in.

New Races! half elf and half orc, both are lots of fun. half elves look creep though, but you dont usually look at yourself in this game so its okay but try not to stare a the ones you find in the market.

New end game raids were added recently with the new Artificer class in the new house cannith area.

Were you here for chronoscope? A fun new raid with good loot for lowbies that can be upgraded to good epic gear.

A new crafting system was implemented called cannith crafting. Its a little grindy but you can make decent gear without much effort. Its much easier to make some twink gear for a toon with the new system then it is to grind out GS materials.

If you have a sorcerer on your account go swap a feat and respec your enhancements. Some nice changes with the new prestige lines for sorc.

Thats the big stuff I can think of, but there was lots of small changes made too.
