Returning is easy. Get yourself acquainted with the new members that have arrived since you've been gone; I imagine re-joining will be more like joining a new guild entirely, since you've been absent for so long. Remake or introduce a new character sheet, and glance around the factions list. Otherwise, Tavern RP is around most nights in the Vulkwasten tavern, starting loosely around 8PM EST. This isn't exactly an official time, but it
is when most members start to come out from their hidey-holes to RP.
When you go to revise or make a new character sheet, click the link below. This guide will ultimately describe what you need to put on your character sheet in order for it to be worthy of acceptance.

After you get everything settled, be sure to check out the Factions link, below, to get a good understanding on the current groups available to RP with. Although joining a faction isn't mandatory, it definitely creates more RP around the guild.
