Welcome back Yafel. There have been a *couple* of changes to the game.

I'm sure someone will be glad to point out the best ways to take in all of the new sights, like running unbuffed and unbaned straight west from the VoD lifestone, or something else equally entertaining.
I'm not sure, but I think the monster redistribution happened after the Iron Coast event? If so, better be careful going to old hunting grounds. You might find them overrun with Warriors and Mutilators
If you need anything, feel free to give Oof a /tell.
