I might return to check it out. I suspect a lot of other old timers will also return. Whether they stick around or not is a different matter. To be honest I doubt if I'll stay long, but it will be fun for a while, especially if some of the old gang also return.
I thought the game was best when it first came out. Personally I much preferred the days when a Charred Dagger was OP. The only gold in the game will be 2-3 gold per chest, + a few drops to vendor for a few hundred, + quest gold which was much smaller in the original game. It will (hopefully) take a while before people even get to 6 figure amounts of gold, let alone 7-8 figures in gold.
There won't be any power leveling, because there won't be anyone to do it. There won't be high level toons feeding gold and gear to low level alts. I don't think you'll see a flood of TCs starting out and the prices will be very low for a while. There just won't be enough gold for a while.
So why buy TCs when the prices will be very low? Because 10K gold will be a lot of gold. The absolute amount of gold doesn't matter. What matters is how much gold one player has compared to other players. If someone can get 10-20K out of a TC it gives them a huge advantage. The AH will be empty. When things start showing up, the first person to grab things will be the first to higher levels, therefore the first to get higher level gear, therefore can sell that higher level gear for more gold. Every single time someone enters a new zone before the masses, they have a big advantage.
Something that would be fun to see again are *real* PKs. The early PKs won't have anything to lose. They can go wild, and the PKKs can go wild chasing after them, just for fun. So I'd expect a lot of them. A PK can be OP with a few rares. But if the rares are lost, not a big deal.
The game won't be loaded with legendaries. So what? What it will be instead is fun, not a grind. That's what a game is all about.
