AGS has divided New World into two games by never allowing legacy servers to merge with fresh start. What a HORRIBLE idea

do you understand the concept of feeder servers?

Lololol. Legacy servers arent going to die. What in the world? Hardly anybody i know is going to do a fresh start character. And even doing fresh start, i will still enjoy getting on and doing OPR and 3s with my friends who arent doi g fresh start.

I’m all for FSS dont get me wrong.
Sweats will always rule. But I get your point

It’s more the entitlement of these new players crying about legacy servers that annoys me. I say no transfers either way. They can’t transfer to legacy until transfer are opened both ways…

They are starting with four fresh servers in EU, those can be merged later if needed or more servers added should the flood gates break and more players turn up than expected. However, if things got dire for those Fresh Start Worlds, numbers dropped, those four can be merged together to provide a more active server.

Only then, is when the word “never” potentially going to be re-looked at, but as we know with all games - content is subject to change. If things really are that bad, they may just merge into the old worlds.

Remember, Brimstone Sands did have queue’s for popular servers as people came back, but even now, servers are being unlocked again as people moved servers, helping balance out populations. I think AGS have learned from previous mistakes. Just our impatience at wanting to play on certain servers, when they are full, is causing resentment, which we all understand and appreciate.

I’m not the one trying to create a separate server that is permanently exclusive to a portion of the new world community.

You’re right. The legacy servers will all wither and rot and soon it will just be the FSS.

Join us now or join us later - your choice.

Is everyone getting a third character slot to have a character on these servers or not?

It’s exclusive but anyone can make a character on there and play. Makes sense

If they are feeder servers then you would be required to transfer off once you hit a certain level. Cause after a year the “feeder server” as you put it is just going to be another regular server…

STOP playing the beta wait to full game realese thats all that I can say

Yes it’s exclusive

The anger that they have is mostly from fear. That those they abuse on normal servers, will move to fresh start servers. Leaving their servers barren of victims to stomp.

They don’t want to have to leave behind their 2,000+ hours of progression behind to play with people. These are people who spent at least 8 hour everyday since release, to walk like demigods on the legacy servers. They enjoy being able to just effortlessly win against the majority of players, that they are afraid of dipping once fresh start servers open. Which means they wasted more than 2k hours of their lives for gear and wealth that they’ll have very few to lord it over.

That is ultimately these people grief about fresh start servers. It’s why vertical progression gear based PvP MMOs don’t work in this day and age. Because at a minimal such measures are required to entice potential newer players into the game.

If this game was like Guild Wars 2’s horizontal progression. This game wouldn’t have 1/4th of the problems it has.

  • People would be able to shake off meta shifts every 3 months easily.
  • Dups and exploits wouldn’t be much of a problem.
  • More people would be interested in the PvP scene in this game. Meaning more Openworld PvP, and shorter arena and Outpost Rush queues.

But at last here we are. Another example, why vertical progression gear based PvP scenes are on a downtrend. Remember we have options for quick and competitive PvP. Gone are the days where the only forms of PvP exist in grinder MMOs.

Exclusive for every player in the game lol

I don’t think you know what that word means

Exclusive for every character in the game.

:joy::joy::joy:. You can’t transfer your established character to them. Get over it. No one else can either.

because existing characters and companies that own millions of gold, all big whales transfer to fresh server and will ruin everything
probably hard for you to understandxD
