Emp Aura became more expensive, lol. It's price though, ranges from a Thana to two, I know some direct trades done. And it's better than Fallen Ghost now, +25 stats.
And to go back to the server, well. There's a lot of new content, if you're the questing type, there's those new hats that's a part of an Integrated Quest System which needs you to finish one before starting the other. Idk, I personally enjoy WoEing now that there are three castles.
To quote you, yeah, it's fun, but idk.
