I re-subscribed for the same reason recently and my advice would be to do it!! My old friends don't play very much anymore so I ended up leaving my old outfit on emerald and joining GOTR (VS). It was definitely the best decision.
All this talk about not finding good fights is only true, at least for me, at wierd times. If you log on at 10am EST yeah theres gonna be sucky fights but log on between 5pm and 10pm and there's still great battles. I now have a new outfit that is plenty active with teamspeak and I'm trying to get my roommate to subscribe too. Planetside is still fun if you make the effort
