Entice me back into playing PS ^^

[Wanderlust]

Hi all,
I doubt very much anyone will know me - I used to play under the name LoonySaint back in the original PS beta (Yes, TR DC owned all :P I used to run a guild but it was so long ago I've no idea what it was called) and when the game was first launched. I stopped playing sometime in 2003 (wow was it THAT long ago!?!) just before CC was released I believe. Basically, I'm wondering how PS has changed and what there will be to come back to - I'm a UK player and so im interested about this free month AS trial on the new PC Format. If anyone who has played the game for a long time (even back to beta) could tell me just how it has changed please do. I WANT to be enticed back into playing this game, me and some friends were having a chat about it whilst playing WoW and we realised what a damn fun time we had playing it.
I mean ultimately we all stopped playing because you just never seemed to 'get anywhere' but I was hoping by now the game had had a chance to mature and become a more balanced and tactical game than the deathmatch luck-fest it sometimes used to be.
Please tell me its a complex and rewarding teamplay oriented game :P I await your replies!
