Yeah possibly, we have as much as a community manager post on it. Considering the obvious backlash on the forums since then - wouldn’t be surprised if AGS was reconsidering it for a later date or even all together.
True.
i cant understand what would change with fresh servers. A lot of people dont like to fall to far behind other players but the same will happen on the Fresh start server after a couple of weeks or a month there will be veteran players way ahead of the rest. So whats even the Point?

Yes, this is most people’s line of thinking.
The people who play fresh starts play the game for a few weeks and burn out then quit.
It’s like this in every fresh start server. The population drops so quickly, and it is evident that most of the players will only come back for an early game pvp experience then bail.
All sorts of excuses for it to, like there are bots (lol, literally every MMO has bots), the pvp is unbalanced, they dont like a specific change the devs made… in reality they just got bored.
They’ll then claim that if a fresh start server launches it will totally revive the game.

Falling behind is not why I want it personally.
- Inflated economy (will likely happen again, but there we are).
- Higher chance of being able to get to 625 as more people using Groupfinder.
- My daughter has expressed interest in playing, but feels she’s too far behind to start. So will level with her on fresh server.
I dropped New World some time ago. I am pretty curious about the new content and all the fixes they have made after my departure (i quit about a month after Void Gauntlet was released). However, I am unwilling to return to playing with characters that are still piggybacking on ruined economy, exploits, and dupes from way back then.
The only way for me to give New World another chance is completely fresh servers with none of that baggage of the initial shitfuckery that happened.
Some people think fresh-start servers are always a bad idea - I disagree. Fresh starts are bad only when it’s nothing more than a sad moneygrab (Atlas is a great example of shitty “Fresh Starts”). It’s not that I am afraid of “being behind others” in progress, but characters made at launch carry a certain baggage that carries over in the form of ill-gotten gains from duping, exploitation, and other shit that - to my understanding - is now fixed. If the state of the game now is as good as some content creators say - fresh start might be a great way of getting people into the game permanently.
Just my 5 cents nobody cares about. Thought I’d share. Might delete later.

Early on a lot of those exploits could have done significant damage. The game has existed long enough that any artificial advantage gain has long since disappeared with the simplification of the grind and just time for people to catch up.
The problem is, with increased interest you are going to get more exploiting so the assumption that fresh start servers are going to be immune from this–is probably a giant mistake.
Fresh start servers really are about re-engaging with those people that dropped off between level 30/40 or the end-game gear grind. Pull them in with all their buds to start fresh again.
They said this? Or did you mean “For” all we know?
It’ll be really easy to get 2 perkers from opr and the track though
If you think fresh servers will fix the game I have a bridge to sell you. Not enough has changed with core systems and game moderation to make starting fresh worth the time

Pretty sure you just made this up… they have not alluded to transfers ever being allowed. I think best case they let you transfer off or eventually merge (much much further down the road)
Everything about them is made up, the servers themselves arent even confirmed.
Opening transfers in 2 months just makes the most sense, if they ever do release.
Which again, would be a bad idea for a plethora of reasons but AGS is clearly desperate.
Why do you still care and moan about fresh servers if you clearly dont care… I dont get you.
They did confirm they were coming in a Dev post but said they will provide more info soon.
Source?
Servers are not even confirmed, maybe they will not even make fresh server start and they since start will be transfer free… It depends how many players really will comeback … they will not make fresh start on 3 new servers … Anyway it does not matter for sure they will become transferable I guess in 2 months…
Its still an assumption to make, that they are going to announce them.
Im sure we will hear something this week.
Still the best question is how many players will comeback or start playing 
About comeback well I dont see fire around this game xd
I don’t honestly understand what is taking so long with their information or the release… The technology to roll a new server up and lock it from transfers is already in place. This could be done on a whim.
They are not sure if its worth, it would be badshow if they wont fill even in 30-40% They did it once when they opened hundreds of new servers with only few ppl on them.
