I quit about six months ago, toying with the idea of playing again. What's changed?

Back when I played, a lot of things were very annoying. The lack of class balance, the lack of class differentiation, and the lack of a massive feeling to the world. So I quit for a while, went back to the original Everquest. Got tired of that and played WoW for a good time, which has satisfied me up to about now. So have they changed anything major, have they fixed any of these problems? I keep hearing about this combat revamp, could anyone shed some light/give me a link to what exactly this is? I don't know if I still want to play a Bruiser, especially if they didn't really do anything to repair the situation, but that remains to be seen. Thanks for the input.

Class balance is worse then ever, and isn't due changing until the whole Combat and Spell revamps, unfortunately there is no links to provide you since there aren't any information available except for vague bits posted by the Devs. It's due "soon" on the test server. Class differentiation is about the same as it's always been, and they recently opened up the restrictions to access EL/Zek/EF/LS so you no longer require an access quest to go there, I suppose that could vaguly fall under the lack of massive feel to the world. You'd probably be better off waiting until the first expansion Desert of Flames is released, by then the revamps are probably done and there will be new content available.
