Hello Sigilyph,
thank you for considering to come back!
Let's start from the very good news:
there's no lag in War of Emperium right now!
I'll answer to your questions one by one:
1) In my opinion War of Emperium could be better since it gives way too many advantages to those who are defending a Fortress/Castle. That's my opinion only but it's a very shared one.
Anyway Warpportal is going to rework War of Emperium. It will take some time but I am optimistic ;
2) Players who have reached maximum level usually dedicate their time to PvP (those who are interested in it) and to PvE activies such as:
- Jawaii Daily Quests;
- Forgotten Payon Daily Quests;
- Daily Quests to craft Runes;
- Wonderland Dungeon;
- Temporary/Holiday Events;
3) Warpportal has brought some changes during the time in order to make the game more balanced but the path is still long. Some classes (Assassin, Priest) still stand at a much higher tier than some others (Ranger, Wizard, Beastmaster);
4) Seed Runes' droprates were nerfed a few months ago so they are now a much more democratic thing: getting high rates now is very easy, so the gap between "hardcore" players and casual players is less wide;
5) Honing system hasn't changed and it won't;
6) Master Level content has been streamlined and exp requirements are now much lower (almost 1/3 of what they used to be), quests give much more experience and most monsters have now elements to help those players who prefer solo-playing. The only hard part is levelling up from master level 20 to 30, since they are still working on quests for the area of Dark Whisper;
Hope this is clear enough,
any other question feel free to contact me even in private or in game!
See you in game
