This will be the same thing here on FSS. Don’t be delusional.
Most companies will have 1-2million gold within the first 1-2weeks.
But as Aivero stated, mmos grow via the community and what’s fun.
And for a lot of players being part of a fresh start is hella fun. God just look at overwatch 2. It’s the exact same game that has been out. Yet it has supposedly almost 20mil players atm.
Imagine they would restart Tera online, or Aion online, god or even Ragnarok online with some marketing. People enjoy the “we all new” experience again and again, even if it’s partly an illusion
I remember when everyone said fresh start servers would be dead in 2 weeks to 2 months once all the hype train kiddos and streamer interest died down again.
Long term the only direction players can move is from FSS to legacy with merges only taking place b/w fresh servers.
The way AGS has set up FSS is like any other MMO that creates CATCH UP SERVERS, thats literally what they are functioning as. If there is any long term interest in fresh players still playing that dont transfer to legacy they will merge the fresh servers.
They are literally designed to have players play the game get comfortable with it and then transfer to legacy.
IDGI are these servers doomed and a waste of AGS’ time or are they existential threat to legacy servers? Can yall quit it with the histrionics, just as bad as the ppl crying that Fresh start servers were coming 2 weeks after Brimstone.
I mean, it is bad they are comming now.
The hype died. All games come out around that time. So a lot of players who were interested in those will likely not play atm.
But that’s probably what they want. Guess less players and good press is what they prefer atm
They’ve changed how gold is distributed between territories (with more changes to come - hopefully reducing gold income for ownership), you also don’t have all the duped gold that entered those servers. I don’t think it will be near as bad as legacy servers and people can earn decent gear now without spending money
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.
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.
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…
