Yeah WS's combat is definitely nice. I'd rate MMO combat as follow: GW2 > WS > WoW.
But then again WoW is a decade old already.
I wonder if WS will go f2p any time soon.
Kinda miss this game. Miss its awesome music, and my house of course :'(
I wouldn't have gone back to WoW if I don't have to wait forever for an RBG queue. Also it's impossible to get max reputation from, I can't remember the name the one where you gotta kill the firebird world boss thing. Impossible because, no more crowd.

The latest update bring in more people back to the game, but depending on which server you are in, most of us in PVE.
Couldn't say much about pvp, since the patch caters more to pve players. But the next one will focus on pvp which removes the rated gears requirements. PBG queues pops more during US peak time, there will be people shouting in channel to ask players to queue up for it.
