What did I miss?

I'm considering coming back to EverQuest after almost a year's absence--
I got busy with work and City of Heroes, among other things. As the
subject says, what have I missed? Is there anything major pertaining to
necromancers? (My main and highest-level character. I miss all the
spooky evil stuff I used to do.)

I'm in a similar situation. I left EQ a couple of months before LDON,
after playing since a week after launch. Despite the 4+ years played,
my highest char was a 52 druid, and I never really went beyond
"casual" player. But I find myself missing it. Most of my old guild
moved on to WoW, but I just don't think it's for me.

So I was thinking of finally picking up LDON ($10 for digital
download) and getting a month or three subscription to just mess
around again. But I keep wondering if it'll be anything like the game
I remember. I've never been so bloody nostalgic for a game before...
it's unnatural, I tell you.

So what's the deal with the Dreadlands being a deathtrap now? I knew
there was an event that changed FV, but my beloved DL? Any other
zones that I should know about before taking the plunge?

Necros are still soloing gods...

There are new AAs with the newer expansions (not DoN). New zones to raze.

300 is the new cap.

Easy soloing in DoN.

I'm not sure what the earlier poster meant about DL. I've been there
recently and it seems back to normal. Prior to the event where Evil
overran FV, there were high level good and evil armies in DL, so you
had to watch out if you were KOS to one or both, plus the normal DL
mobs were missing. And the first part of the FV event itself was the
war in DL, which was almost certainly a quick death for any but high
level players. But no problems there now.
