Been back myself for a couple months. You'll find that there are some big changes in the game:
Theres an apparent rift between base takers and furballers
Folks are ganging the enemy and complaining when they are ganged
Ponys and LAs are getting a reputation as popular planes to run away in
Bases are too hard to take now
Bases are too easy to take now
Some folks are playing for score and ticking off the ones who play for the fight
Ack is too deadly unless the enemy is flying through it
HOing is a constant issue with folks
Rooks fly too high
Bish always horde
Nits are unorganized
These are just a few of the dramatic changes I've seen. Other than that is pretty much the same.
