Hello everyone i played on this server a few months ago and it seemed to still be obviously in beta stage, just monsters and maybe one chest in a dungeon, nothing interactive. I am curious how the content is now, if it has improved or if there is more of it. If there is i would love to know, please fill me in on how enjoyable the areas are.
PS: Specifically i am talking about how i had to only farm gnolls for a couple levels and well it got boring, i am hoping there is more for me to do if i decide to come join you all in Baldur's Gate again.

The server has definitely increased in scope since then. You can now explore all the way down to the Cloud Peak Mountains, go deep within the Cloakwood, venture into the Fields of the Dead, explore additional caves, and descend to the Underdark (assuming you use a UD race. There's not transition yet, but there will be). Baldur's Gate also has a new section that includes an arena.
There are many more quests available to do now as well. I think the number is around seventeen now and they vary in difficulty. In addition to these, trapped chests are now located in dungeons and other places for those that wish to search for loot.
Spawns have been tweaked to provide more variety now, with enemies grouping, and the occasional tougher monster spawning as well. It's best to travel in groups now. Speaking of, a new script was put in place to give XP for role-playing.
Many new items have been added to the server, too, including some specialized ones. Be sure to check the old merchants and also look for some new ones.
And last, but not least, more guilds are springing up, and the old ones have seen some resurgence of life as both the DMs and players have taken more interest in them as late. Join in and have lots of fun fighting the opposing side. Join the Fist and battle the Zhentarim and the Thieves' Guild, or seek the friendly local nature circle to defend the wild from those that would destroy it. But that's just a few of what exists now.
Take a look around and see for yourself. This server does not disappoint!

Wow SirC, you wouldn't happen to be in sales would ya? Haha.
I will only echo what SirC has said, and add that as a Beta server we have seen change almost continually. If you do log in for a spin and it isn't quite to your taste.. give it some more time. As SirC mentioned a TON has changed in the past 3-4 months, and I suspect there will be many more improvements down the road.
Log in already.

Rumor has it that Durlag's Tower will be here soon. It should feature respawning traps.
