Hello everyone.
I am returning to Median XL after trying it for few months in 2013-2014. I am having a blast. Managed to get my Cold Sorc to L130 and now farming Duncraig. However I have started on Single Player, and after reading the forum found out about The Sin War and of course the upcoming MXL 2.0 update. I am super hyped for this and will play in The Sin War after the update of course.

Second I wanted to thank the Devs and the awesome forum members here for the guides and other helfpful information.

Now my question, somewhere I've read, that with the 2.0 update the chars will be wiped, this is ok for me. But I am not quite sure If I should continue playing my cold sorc right now. So I wanted to ask, what are the people here doing before the update hits? Other idea is, should I try the Sin War and try to find new friends to play with after the update?

Welcome back!

Of course you can continue playing your sorc. It will probably take another month before the next update is released. It's usually announced 2 weeks prior to the release, so that should give you enough time to find out more about how the boss fights work/have changed over the years, which in turn will give you an easier time when 2.0 hits the servers.

You can of course start playing on TSW as well. There's currently a goblin season going on, which allows you to find charms, relics (cotw), and other things that are usually accessible only later on as random drops from those goblins. I'm not sure how many people still play on TSW though. Usually the player numbers peak in the first 2-4 weeks of the season and the last ladder reset was sometime in January if I remember correctly.

Forget about speed leveling in tcows from 40 to 120... rush has left us some patchs ago X.x
(Just to clarify... no more T cows :P)
And now there are some áreas you have to be a certain level to enter... and some áreas locks after some time, so you cant return in the same game if you die.... you cant make easy money by socketing runes in throwing weapons... AND... most of ubers entraces have changed, so make sure you read the docs.... The rest is still the same but a lot of things have changed since u have last played, but i'm sure you gonna love it ^^
