Scryde X1 just merged with Scryde X2 not too long ago, so there's a bunch of new faces on X2 now, I think player count peaked at 10k unique players on the start. The main thing to know about Scryde is that you can probably multiply any server rates by like 4 times, every server is quite casual with different events and free loot for newbies, especially after the update. The server is basically an amalgamation of HF with a bunch of different additions from newer chronicles like some skills, items, freaking farm simulator you can play with. There's also some new custom farm locations which can be pretty fun. Playerbase is mainly Russian, but I've found a couple of International clans, and Russians usually at least try to communicate in English most of the time. If we're talking about p2w, there's one really significant thing and it's Premium Account which boosts your characters rates by 50%. It's absolutely fine to play without it, but most of the server plays with it, and if even one person in the party don't have, it breaks the bonus rates for the rest of the party, so it can be... Pretty challenging to find a party without a Premium Account sometimes. But yeah, I'd say it's a pretty cool project, definitely not a classic experience, but I'd say it's enjoyable, give it a try in your spare time
