Thanks Guys! One thing, What're these alliance worlds?

Oh you think nexon would finally get rid of hackers and dupers by now?
HAH
So it seems we quit at about the same time, I just came back about a month ago, and here are the changes that I think it would matter to you:
Equipment:
Empress set is no longer the super pricey and godly equips anymore. Currently the final set people aim for are CRA (Chaos Root Abyss) set + Tyrant set or SW (Sweet water) set. For people like you and me who don't feel like throwing away the empress set we spent so much to cube and scroll, there is an alternative where you can now replace your empress weapon piece with empress shoulder (they are everywhere now, unlike last time), and then transpose your empress weapon to SW weapon. It keeps all the stats, enhancement and potential rank, and what you get is extra 10% PDR and 30% boss from the weapon itself (so that now it can be at least on par with CRA set bonus).
As for other pieces, it will be Gollux ring/earring/pendant/belt that gives you another 30% boss.
Bossing:
First thing I noticed was zakum bossing no longer require prequest or exped filler, you can just go in with a party of your own. Besides, the El Nath job instructor can now teleport you to Zakum Altair. People don't really do Horntail anymore as gollux pendants are far more superior then HT necklace.
And then of course, there are all these new bosses like Gollux, CRA, Commerci (SW equips), etc.
Trading:
Owl of Minerva is now a 10k mesos item sold in General Store. This kinda change the way people shopping nowadays. In my opinion, it becomes more difficult for merchant to buy low and sell high, because basically people can hardly put a wrong price in their shops nowadays. And obviously the meso cap of 2,147,483,648 is gone.
Training:
It is no longer the usual haunted house (dead scarecrow) -> alien -> LHC anymore. Nowadays it's more like cooper drake -> white fang -> R&J PQ / evolving system all the way to 140.
Lots of new content that ultimately don't really make any difference... Like always; the content that does make a difference is really mostly accessible to the mega funded, which from the looks of it you're not
Lot of new classes since you left, Cygnus knights have been updated and are now pretty fun
LHC is dead and gone, there aren't that many hackers now because its a bit pointless since maple is dying; only people hacking appear to be thee really high leveled people, bove the old lvl 200 cap
Empress has apparently become a thing of the past, with all the new equips being far superior in every way
Etc etc etc
I mean things that are controlled more by player aspect
Lots of power creeping happened. Funded players of years ago used to have 100-200kish ranges. After the release of root abyss equips, funded players were running around with 1mil+ ranges. After the release of other sets like gollux stuff so many funded players have reached above and beyond the 2mil-2mil range cap o.o (your damage increases as you upgrade past 2mil 2mil but the visual cap appears to be the same).
