Funny you should ask. I just had the same question myself and gave it a try. I started on a new world but with my old character. 30 more hours later and I can say yes, it's worth it. Not a ton of new features, but some new things to have some freshness added. Looks like I'm after tar now...

There are a lot of changes to progression you may not have noticed with an old character.

I think you really shortchanged yourself there.
