Its so hard to non coin a server and break into the top spots these days. It can be done but its rare.

ON another note I have taken 6+ months off 2 times now with a few 1 month breaks here and there as well. U will prolly fall a little behind on the returning server but at least for me it came back pretty quickly. Once u get set and hitting the 5s and then the 10s it all starts to click.
I hope you're right. As far as the game goes i'll admit i've never been the best. I've always been goon at diplomacy and running and alliance..but it seems that requires being an excellent fighter (to have 100 people follow you LOYALLY, that is) and knowing almost every aspect of the game thoroughly. But like you said..when i get back in that old routine of farming all day it should click.
