I guess the thing I'd be most worried about is will it change how I act much (if I were to take it, like ofcourse I wouldn't sheesh). For instance alcohol already makes me get loud and outgoing, even though when sober I'm not really. Is it like a rush? Is it subtle?

Well, ecstasy gives you a high by dumping your reserve of serotonin into your brain, so someone such as myself that has low serotonin never really got anything out of it. It was always a waste of money for me, except for the time I combined it with opiates.
One thing to keep in mind(if this hypothetical person became inclined to consume it) is to drink lots of water, because dehydration is a big concern.
The biggest risk you take with ecstasy is that it is made on the street and most of the time it is cut with other drugs or even toxic things you would never consider ingesting. There's actually an organization that goes around to raves and does testing on people's pills to inform the person of exactly what they are taking.
Also, since the drug empties the serotonin reserves, there are many people that experience moderate to severe depression for next couple of days. I've met people that it was bad enough that they won't take the drug anymore.
Bottom line, and this is simply my opinion, you are better off to save your money. I have, however, met lots of people that absolutely love it.

It was worth it for me and there is alot of fearmongering arround it, since it isnt as dangerous as alot of people believe.

Well if you are really concerned with your brain and it's future scientifically it is always safer to not use drugs. That is across the board.
If you are concerned about having a good time in the short term, it's great. The hangover is fairly gnarly though. I wouldn't bother with the alcohol, it dilutes the pure high.

It is a shit load of fun. I never had the downer afterwards, but I've seen people have it. It apparently sucks. Do it when you have a few days to recover and relax. I liked doing it in the summer so I could be in the woods playing. It's way cooler that way. My friend and I painted beach balls with glow in the dark paint and then just tossed them to each other on the side of a lake one night while I was tripping balls on E. It was fucking awesome.

I can't help but think that situation would be better on mushrooms, but I might be biased because I've never had real ecstacy, and love mushrooms.
