some old players do return (and often with great success), but the game has developed over the years since it started. Activity is still a key part, but alliances are now much more important to many people than galaxies. All Research/Constructions are now Researches (and free) - constructions have changed completely in nature. Asteroids don't have to be scanned for; just initated. Alliances are limited to 100 players each, and there's no "tags" any more. There's no more PDS, but there are "Covert Ops" and "Engineering" instead. All sorts of thing in the game have changed - I'm sure you'll find combat more simple, for example.
