What's new?

I haven't played Graal Kingdoms since 2004 and I'm curious as to what's going on with it, I'm sure there has to be atleast a few major updates. I'm thinking of getting a Gold/VIP account again but I want to see what's going on first. Graal Kingdoms has everything I want in a game.. Kingdoms/Storyline, Cooking/farming/fishing/houses/usershops. It's great. Although I think there are way too many islands for the amount of people that go to it and it would be a lot better if It only had a couple of kingdoms.. anyway. What's going on with Kingdoms? I remember Dustari and Zormite and Samurai and everything always had a lot of people, Dustari had TONS of RP events I remember when Tseng and Padren and etc ruled. It was fun stuff! Do people use usershops a lot? Are tradeskills or whatever popular/useful? I totally don't remember much about GK. I just want to know what's going on with it. Does the lovely Hurumi still do graphics? Just give an update of what's happened and what's to come. If it's still the same I guess I'll just wait for Graal2001. Those little RP events they had when everyone was waiting for it to open were more more fun than the best times I've ever had on Valikorlia haha. Can't say much for the actual opening tho.. Anyway getting off topic now. I just want to know what's going on with Graal, I always had this hope that i'd not play for awhile and then come back and it would have used all it's awesome features for the best.
