Main Quest as of 2025

This is my first time posting on the r/StarStable subreddit, so hello! To preface I am a level 22 player on Nightstar that has been playing for roughly 12ish years now. :) Coming back to SSO fully after 2 years of logging on every 5 months to buy horses and dip has been a shock to my system with how much they've managed to change in such a short amount of time? With this, I've been catching up on the main story from 2023 and it's shocking to me how much of the lore from SSL seems to be brushed to the side. That, and the quests I remember from the original SSO plotline are obsolete? Even small things like not having to save Linda from the castle and THEN get to know her. Or even their blatant scrapping of storylines that could be significant like the Kallters, Marchenghast, Ashland, Mystic Valley, etc. Where do you believe they're going with the storyline at this point in time with the introduction of a Dark Rider unseen in previous lore and the Vala? I'm pondering if we will ever see us, the MC, truly use our powers as the reincarnation of Aideen in a real fight against Garnok the way the quests are progressing. Maybe I'm bitter cause I miss the old storyline lol.
