I am all for a fresh “no transfer” server…after territory control revamp and once 1-60 leveling is revamped. I think when they are done with these changes, they should advertise the hell out of the game again to get folks to give it another try. Fresh servers would be the way to go. It is really a no-brainer. Not sure why some folks are so against it. If it doesn’t work out, they can always shut them down.
Why all the childish ego internet chest thumping?
well i know because he a friend of a friend of mine who also duped and got away with it.
Another thing… lets say that no cheats, bug, exploits ever happened in new world.
The money that companies and shell companies, territory and shit have is insane and makes economy shit. they gonna fix it? yeah sure… But what about all the gold ppl still have? what it is gonna happen to it? i mean ags wont remove it… so… it will remain and it will take a huge amount of time to all that gold to actually sink.
is he now? could’ve link here with the “confirmation”. because i just saw him yesterday. and will actually login now to confirm, since he is a hardcore player must be online right now.
Why are some people so hellbound on not having fresh servers with transfers off? The only reason I can imagine is that they want to stomp on new players with their ‘duped gear’
My whole guild of 100 players basicly left after the dupes and exploits, people say that this has no influence or whatsoever. Players in my guild had literal money caps and all their professions maxed out because of this.
Insert a ton of money into the economy, this money doesn’t dissappear it will linger around and make everything more expensive making it impossible for new players to be able to buy anything good. If you say their exploits and dupes were a long time ago and doesn’t affect the current game, you cleary don’t know anything about economy. You can see it happening in real life but whatever.
Ton of people want to play the game again but are not interested in getting their heads stomped by duped gear. Fresh server means normal economy which would only be fucked up if there was another exploit.
If the game is so good your servers won’t die, so why do you care if there are new servers?
I’m at gold cap with all professions maxed, and I’ve never duped or bought gold.
Any proof they only maxed because of duping?
Lmao
Also, new players will get stomped regardless. New players wont be the only ones going to these new servers lol.
They probably shouldn’t add fresh start servers until they figure out a reasonable territory control system. There is no reason for people to be making millions of gold per week.
What’s to stop these same companies? They’ll be following to these fresh servers also.
New/casual players still wont own territories
Definitely not true.
I would raise you an idea higher, make 1-2 servers per region that are seasonal. Maybe 3 months per cycle. Leveling becomes relevant, playing with a group rather than solo becomes relevant, mastering a craft or gathering becomes relevant(because people have not had time to master everything on a single character).
Allow companies to remain intact between resets, leader and maybe co-leader remain in company automatically, everyone else needs to rejoin. Add company achievements that they receive throughout and at the end of a cycle as achievements. For example, 1 season completed while holding 2 or more cities and things like this where companies create legacies throughout the seasons.
The best part of new world is the leveling, gearing, and crafting experience. Feels like an easy way to give your players more ways to play the game without taking away from people who want to play on permanent servers. Not to mention, players who leave the game have a chance to come back every 3 months for one or more seasons without feeling like they are super behind or logging into pvp with fully maxed-out characters to get pummeled.
Although when people realize how much better seasonal NW would be, those permanent servers will likely empty, so companies dominating at the moment will be salty as hell. Keep the number of those seasonal servers low, maybe even just 1 per region, and they will likely have a plentiful population.
That one is actually super easy. Taxes go into company vault, company vault cannot be withdrawn from. Problem solved! They just need to bring some kind of system where taxes can be spent since upgrades would not be enough to spend that much gold. Imo they should bring a shop where defending companies can buy special equipment with gold on defense. Mass horn is already meta in most sieges, maybe that can shake the wall setup a bit.
Yep so what makes you think fresh servers are the answer when territory management doesn’t change yet? You play casually, what’s going to hold back a group of “no lifers” grinding out easy gear, buying territories ASAP collecting all the gold just to repeat the cycle that happens on older servers? People claiming new fresh start non transferable servers are the answer clearly haven’t thought it through. Fresh start servers shouldn’t come until the territory management they mentioned is complete, otherwise casuals are going to get outpaced and end up on forums crying about it.
Back when the dupes happend, there was no way for players that didn’t participate in the dupe to compete with the ones that did. We were playing outpost rush everyday since that was basicly the only content at the time. After the exploits and dupe glitches almost 75% of the games were filled with full voidbent sets. Don’t try and tell me they all got it overnight in a legit manner. So no, companies were getting stomped out of territories because of these dupes. Yes we need a fresh start
I love the Idea of Fresh Start Servers that u cannot transfer to. Will be some sort of release feeling getting out doin all the stuff with all them new ppl together rather than alone. cant just buy everything in the trade post got to craft stuff on my own. and most obviously territory/coin problem got fixed atleast some of it which provides for more fair experience overall. Would love to hear AGS thoughts about it. Go ahead and like the thread if ure all for it so AGS actually sees that we want that shit to happen.
Everyone out here arguing about why things are good and bad but really boil it down. Does it even matter? New servers are gonna be made due to pop so just make some fresh servers… the end… these arguements are kind of just dumb at their cores… people arguing about all the wrong things just to be forum warriors or something
I’m one of the large chunk of players that left the game early on (80% of the playerbase?), I left because of the constant bugs and exploits that was going on. I played the current PTR, I really like it but I won’t come back unless there’s a fresh start server that doesn’t allow transfers from legacy servers.
Too many players exploited the bugs on the current servers since launch, even if they have been banned and it is highly unlikely they’ve been ALL banned. Territory’s have been won using the god mode exploit showed by JoshStrifeHays, even if the cheater got banned, his guild has profited from his cheating and haven’t been banned and are free to dump their winnings into the economy and gear themselves like a king.
Sure, fresh start no-transfer-from-legacy servers won’t stop people no lifing the game to get ahead as fast as possible using existing knowledge, but that isn’t why people want fresh start no-transfer-from-legacy servers. People don’t want to play with cheaters or other players who have benefited from ill gotten gain from one of the worst mmo launches in recent memory, before AGS finally decided rollbacks were a thing and by then it was too late because too much time has passed.
The sad truth is back when first merge happened, there were many known dupers on our servers that duped tons of trophies and sold them, everyone knew them by names and not a single one of them got banned for more than 48 hours, some didnt get banned at all.
that leads me to believe that the majority of players that abused the system have never got in trouble for it.
Make the server player limit 1k and open 4-5 sub channels. That’s the only need
More than 1000 players cause lag and bugs. Why can’t you see them yet?
Please make fresh start servers. Transfer only allowed after 3+ months/ after merging with other fresh starts (If it is needed). Only way I will come back is fresh start servers.
I support fresh start but permanently no transfers from legacy servers, only from other fresh servers. We want fresh start to avoid the cancer that came from the exploits, there’s no point when the mega rich and uber geared can transfer into the fresh start servers after 3 months just to destroy it.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. Alot of people have jusjt returned. majority are returning players , not new players.
Anyone whining for fresh servers just wants to have all the harvesting resources for themselves and start the rat race again to get 60 first, control territories etc.
People crying for a new server will just play for two months and quit again.
