As someone who lives very far from the main server I actually have a decent conection almost always. The community is always available to help new players and so the GMs. Even with not that many players we still have a decently active market and WoE happens with a very high frequency. There are a good ammount of customization in the server, don't expect being exactly like it was in the 2000's, most are QoL, but there are balance changes and new mechanics, and, until now, they have been good.
