Soooo thankful this exists!

I first would like to give a genuine and heartfelt thanks to the folks responsible for making this happen, and an hearty hello to all the folks in the community.

WAR was hands down my favorite MMO, and to be able to play again, and with a community that I'm pretty sure will be friendly and fun... well, I'm looking forward to it.

Just waiting on my client download (I've still got the official install disks, but no way to update insofar as I know) and I'll be joining you soon.

Anything I should know going in?

Things to note...

Lots of things are works-in-progress as the entire game needs to be recoded based on scrapes of raw data that the emu team grabbed before the servers went offline. RvR is the development focus, this means having all the classes working well and being able to fight over objectives in the lakes and scenarios. PvE is largely on the backburner because every scripted event needs to be coded from scratch. Crafting is about halfway done, Talisman making is pretty much finished and Cultivating is being worked on.

Devs do have a direction in mind for the state of the game, but many of the conversations are had here on the forums with some very skilled and dedicated players over class balance and RvR. This is far more community driven that what Mythic had been doing with the live game. If you want to have some serious input, that's possible. If you bring some unique talents that can be leveraged by the development team, there's opportunity.

Current level cap is R26 RR30, and T2 is available to play in (except elf, because elves). PvE grinding doesn't award any drops better than green, so you'll have to get some PvP done if you want the best gear. You get 20 character slots, 10 Order and 10 Destro. The economy is a little broken, but you'll be able to buy basic green gear from Renown vendors that will bring you to a solid competitive level.

It's WAR. You dealt with bugs and bad coding on live for a little over 5 years. We want to make it better. See you on the battlefields...
