We played for a while back then too, however it didn't quite take our interest... in less than an hour we turned it off, not really giving it a chance. Loving it now though! 🙂
The gameplay experience has really sped up a bit! Apparently you used to have to do every single quest and kill a lot of superfluous things in order to level up appropriately - we only did the main campaign and a couple of random events that crossed our path. Definitely not playing anywhere near the levels I would have a decade ago, haha!
