Since duping was exploit, nothing really change except for the increased players in the first 2 server. Since most people don't know how to make a new char on Aries without getting an error(Aries seems to always be full?), people from other dead servers would transfer to Taurus as a nice alternative. That makes Taurus pretty diverse and unique I guess.
What i mostly do now is make eqs or work on my tents. Having unlimited books at your disposable with years of knowledge on compounding is a nice thing as well.
Im currently am building an army of elin/str shasha just for fun...
