IGP is gone now, and the game has been improving very rapidly ever since.
There are more clan mechs, and IS mechs. Better maps. More maps. CW is gonna be improving as well. European servers are up. Oceanic ones coming soon. I honestly think it's definitely worth getting back into.

Honestly, if you already quit once you will probably quit again. There are still significant nerfs and buffs to mech, new mechs and maps frequently have bugs, and the c-bill grind hasn't gotten easier.
That said, if you really just want to enjoy piloting a mech, the game looks good, new content is released regularly and you can always step away for a short break if you need to.
Happy hunting!

VOIP, faction chat, UI overhauls, faction grouping, CW, new mechs, new maps, maps being redone (badly needed for some old maps, and the new versions are amazing), some destructible terrain.
A major balance pass is coming in August, which should be interesting.

The community seems pretty good, of course there is the occasional idiot (I will probably run into them about 1 game in 20) but if someone is causing trouble (e.g. bad language, excessive insults, team treason) just screenshot it, and submit a report to moderation@mowmercs.com
If you get board playing alone I suggest joining a unit so you have a consistent group to play with on comms.
There are now separate queues for solo players and groups, if you are dropping solo you will not be up against groups of any size, if you are dropping in a group you could be up against groups of any size but will not be up against solo players.
The exception is Community Warfare where ether team can be made up of solo players and a mix of groups of any size (e.g. an 11 person group and a single player as the 12th)

-- No, not realy. Maybe the community is still sometimes a bit flabbergasted by some development decisions but the forum is extremely new player friendly, there are plenty of nice helpful ppl around.
2.) [...] because i spent most of my cbills just screwing around with builds [...]
-- Like it was said earlyer. Use smurfys mechlab to screw around with loadouts and never sell anything you are loosing money.
3.) [...] my computer was also trash[....]
--So double congrats the performance has been increesed and you got a new puter.
4.) [...] I suppose the fact that I don't have anyone to play with would also be a reason I left, it got pretty boring just pubbing every match and getting stomped by groups of premades. [...]
-- There are now separated queues for singleplayer, small pickup groups and full 12man company drops.
Also the forum is full of recruitment threads from different Merc, House and Clan units. Pick one.

It looks like PGI has been spending considerable time red-working and enlarging the maps. River City is just the first one that we have, and it is beautiful! Give the game a shot, post any questions you have here.
Also, if you're not happy about in-gam comms and want to group up with random people, there are a lot of team speak servers out there. I am in favor of comstar.na, but whatever. It's a great way to meet and talk to players both during the drop and outside it.

I have no hangover from "the old days" so, to me, it seems that PGI is pretty responsive, communicative and delivers on it's promises. The community is, in general, friendly and helpful (apart from me with my occasional loss-streak rages.
All in all, it's enough to keep me playing and I am looking forward to the future...
