I might actually go back to it and see how it plays now. I used to play it a fair bit, wonder if the character is still there.

Anyone still do this or know how it's aged?

Same, I got a few characters but I never hit the "proper" end game; I did like the mixed PvE/PvP areas for quests etc. though.

Looks like it wasn't even patched in the last year. EA's treatment of this was just shameful.

I really really loved it when it came out. the RvR battles were epic and in open world, not instance. For the first month there were so many people and world felt so alive. Then my internet went down for a month, when I came back it was deserted. The fall of Warhammer began.
