We are still continuing to update TPR 6months in (which other that a couple) tends not to happen.
We've introduced a patch that's brought a lot of health to the game (new end game equipment that can drop more frequently) new areas, catch up mechanics (mentioned above, as well as some areas having mobs randomly give you 10-15x their exp value which is always a nice lil bonus)
People are generally helpful to newbies too!
Don't need to put anything in to give it a go
