Much better than when i first started playing. The class system is always being updated and worked on to make gameplay fun. Most people are friendly, clans even help each other. Eq is constantly getting better and even the ability to make eq better that you have is fun.

Yes, it a pk mud, but the ability to make money and get xp from mobs also makes it much more interesting than only being able to get money and xp from killing other players. Just my 2 cents :P
