Hi.  I haven't played for a very long time mostly because the last time I calculated PVE to PVP time it was 8 to 1 hours and  made worse by nerfing islands and spreading ores.  I'm burned out on mining, ever.  I got the email like others did.  I had 5 accounts when I left but 1 appears to have been stolen from me and another one I forget the login for so that leaves me with 3.

Questions:

1.) How is the insane PVE Grind?

The Motherland misses you too.

2.) How are the insane travel times?

They put in clonejumping so much better.

3.) How is the obscenely low population?

We're back up to pre-Alsbale Purge population levels.

4.) How is the racial/bot class size balance?

Nothing really majorly changed, all are viable and all sizes are viable.

5.) How is the dev corp favoritism and interfering with in game alliances/politics?

Haven't made anyone squeal hard enough, but M2S should be dead for good since we corp-robbed them & their last leader is busy playing EVE.

Why should I come back?  I have checked the forums periodically since the last time I logged in (2012) and I haven't seen much difference.  Just curious.

Because it's free so you're not paying 60$ a month anymore. And because we miss you comrade!

I used directional to get Titan Ore spots on Hershfield and they were all spawn camped. Bring a group.

I'm fine with group content but that's like asking me to bring in 5 buddies to mow the lawn with one push mower. It might sound novel but in the end it's something you need to do on a regular basis and just dumb.  I'll keep checking back but right now the game is still a bit too idealistic for its own health.

Thanks all for the information.  I currently have 2 active EVE accounts and 2 active Darkfall Unholy Wars accounts but Perpetuum was the first full loot PvP game I ever played and I still have a lot of good memories of white knuckled shaky fights both solo roaming and in big corp fights on all sides.  I liked the login traps and logistic/strategic ways in which landscape and portal connections could be factors, even the addition of speed ramps added to the game. 

My biggest problems were always with the PvE/PvP grinding/fun ratio, lack of good options for solo/small groups, and the myopic focus of the devs on grandiose alliance problems/systems over basic game play/balance and their multiple botched non-attempts to keep huge influxes of new players (monocle gate anyone?).

I'm glad to hear M2S is finally gone.  They were the one group that did the most harm to the game above all others, imo, especially where dev corruption/interference was concerned.  I honestly haven't decided if I'm going to re-download/install/configure multiple clients again as my freetime is already at a premium but I'll have more time in a couple months.  I'll be watching the STEAM debut for sure.  It's also good to see the soviet block hasn't crumbled
