I haven't been around much since Velious released, was just wondering what has changed with Rangers since then. I know the 40% exp bonus is gone and they got a couple new spells, but has the general opinion of them changed much? Do they get groups much easier now than before? Has their dps changed any / gotten better, making them more appealing to group with on the way to level 60?

So, my usual advice is, if you want to play some kind of character and you are wondering if Ranger is worth the effort, then the answer usually is you shouldn't play a Ranger. If you really want to play a Ranger and you're just wondering how rough it will be, then you're in better shape.
One of the reasons I love them so much is that they show the skill of a player vs. the built-in capability of the class more than most melee classes do. I also like that they have been traditionally looked down upon and made fun of in EQ, because that makes it so satisfying to prove it wrong. I also like the difficulty of solo play, because masochism I guess. In the old days Rangers had kind of a brotherhood feel to them more than most other classes.
It all boils down to this for me :
If I see a max level caster, monk, bard, war, rogue I just go meh, ok. If I see a max level Ranger (or Pallie/SK, for that matter ) I am impressed.
