i just got back after.. 1826 days ago >.>

i know there is alot that has changed and i probly wont run into my old friends and i would like to know what i have missed :3

Well, if I did my math right you left sometime between Issue 7 and Issue 8. So what changed since then? Well, pretty much everything .

The two big, big, big changes you should probably read up on are the Invention System and the Incarnate System. The Invention system is a new type of enhancement that are more powerful than SOs but harder to get. The Incarnate System is a method of acquiring new powers for level 50 characters.

Now if you aren't into that sort of thing there are lots of other changes. Going Rogue introduce Pretoria as a new starting area. You can level to 20 there helping either the Loyalists or the Resistance (morality is more flexible there so neither side is fully good or fulyl evil) before leaving to become a Hero or a Villain. Additionally the alignment system allows you to make your heroes villains and your villains heroes or alternatively live in the grey area between the two.

Between new powersets and powerset proliferation there are a LOT of new powerset combos for you to try out.

Architect Entertainment allows you to create your own story arcs and share them with other players (or more commonly create a custom farm mission).

We can now change the color of most of our powers if desired.

Check the wiki for more info:

Just a few things chosen at random:

There's now a market for things to be bought and sold at.

Old or missed missions can now be played in Ourosboros.

We have custom weapons as well as the already mentioned custom power colors.

Real Numbers lets you see the actual values of your powers, click on top of your powers tab IIRC.

Items and Inf can now be e-mailed.

Powers have been balanced, rebalanced, buffed and nerfed right and left. Dominators for example had their damage buff removed from Domination, made part of their normal functioning, then had all their powers rebalanced (making them quite a bit better)

The EU and NA forums and server lists are merged.

Ultra Mode: a general graphical upgrade. Also better sounds and every NPC group getting their own emotes.

Various upgrades to the ingame chat system, like custom channel colors, more channels, right clicking on a name to get data about a person or talk to/invite them, etc.

Faster leveling at high levels.

The ability to turn off your experience to avoid outlevelling things.

Welcome back!

This may be the best place to start your research: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Issues.

Yup, what they said.

Also, visit the forum for your server. (The forum here, on these forums.) Say "Hi" and ask about global channels. Best way to make new friends and have teams to run missions and trials with.

Of course the most important thing to have happened since then is my successful transition into a Pants Free lifestyle.

Welcome home

Don't forget ED, or Enhancement Diversification. Potentially the biggest playstyle change, but don't know what issue it came out with. Your old characters may be a bit gimp with enhancment slotting from ancient times.

Read about it and weep...

Oh, and WB!

thank you guys so much for helping me out.. one thing i noticed when i first started was to get the person who can fly or telport at level 1 u no longer have to get level 50 :3 and thank you guys so much i really miss this game and all of my friends hopefully some of them still play

So much is new, you may as well just look at it like you would a new game. Not even the powers have stayed the same, for the most part.

Welcome back kaylee.

Since you are a fellow Justice player, I'll give a few minor recommendations.

Definitely post in the Justice server forums to let folks know you are back. (Click that link to get there.)

Join one or both of the main Justice Global chat channels. That's where you'll get a lot of information on events, teaming, and all things Justice.

Justice For All - to join, type /chanjoin "Justice For All"

Justice United - to join, type /chanjoin "Justice United"

Those should be typed in the chat box.

Justice is still active, it's just a matter of finding the people and letting them know you are looking for a team.

Wow. Welcome back. I did my own math on it and 1826 means that you took a break of exactly 5 years. 5*365=1825+1 for the only leap year in the last 5 years (2008)=1826. That's a long time and an interesting coincidence all rolled into one.
