Heh, well, hopefully you won't be bored here. While I don't know how involved you were the last time you played, it's my experience that NS is what you make of it. Speaking as primarily a gameplayer I've had periods of very intense play during various feeder takeovers or political hostilities between different regions or organisations. It just takes a bit of patience to get involved in the different NS aspects, whether it be gameplay, roleplay or WA discussions.
You get a certain amount each time you post and then you can get paid in tacos for doing various jobs around the Islands, like recruiting or making knight statues.
