Was the party system reset? Dark and I were in a party before thanksgiving and were active, then today we logged in and were not. We started our own to share xp, but miss being in the town one. None of the others in our town are on to ask, so I figured I'd ask here.
Yes I think they were reset with some updates recently, mine was anyway. I'm sure you know, but you can create new party easily by typing /party create <whateveryoulike> Doesn't take too long to reach party level 10 for xp share etc.
