Im pretty damn excited about the Issue 3. Perhaps I just lucked out with my timing but I am going to hit 50 this evening, in plenty of time for the new Issue.
I fall well within the definition of casual gamer that the OP stated (I have been playing since release). I have no alt higher than 10 so I have managed to stay pretty focused.
On the occasions where I have gone back and seen some of the low level content; I have been impressed.
I cant wait to revisit the older (updated) content and experience the new stuff with my new toon.
Yes, before anyone feels the need to point it out, Im a complete fanboi. Cryptic has earned that by so consistently kicking butt. Anyone who has played other MMOs for any significant period of time know what a rare and difficult thing this is to accomplish.
49.7 and rising!
