Shattered Kingdoms

Hey everyone,

I played this game around 10 years ago (nobody important) when I was an angsty teenager. Now that I'm older and more mature (hahahahahahahahahahhahaaahhahahahaha *cough) I'm thinking of rerolling a new character. So I might not be a complete newbie, although given the time span I might as well be. Just by reading the forums, however, I notice that a lot of changes occurred gameplay wise. I recall the last big implementation to this game when I last played was the cabal war and relic system. Can anyone be so kind as to summarize the major changes since then? Parsing through all the announcements has been somewhat difficult. It doesn't have to be every small change, just the biggest ones and I would very much appreciate it

Minotaurs
Massive weapons
Enchanting is better
Loyalty tokens
Magma Ignores MR
MR Barbs
Spirit rider
being in tribunals and 1 cabal across multiple characters is NOT multiplaying

Did we have the mentor system when you were around? That will be helpful to you when you roll.
