Its easier than ever to get into this game. I solo'd all of the original vanilla storyline with no issues. It also made going through Castle Zhval really fun and very final dungeon-esque. The story is very barebones until the final vanilla mission and the RotZ plotline, which you can now start at your own leisure, though I would recommend doing Rhapsodies of Vana'Diel simultaneously so you can get the benefits of cheaper teleports/more trusts out/etc. The story also works well in that aspect.

I'd still prefer a singleplayer/diablo-esque remake, or another form of preserving this game rather than keeping it in the way its currently available, but it does a lot to make itself accessible.
