Due to those shitty FSS we have 100k+ players now.
Must hurt to see your game isn’t dying for once

i am gonna screenshot this just to make sure what will happen later on^^.
They will rebound to pre-FSS numbers. I have been playing on FSS but am getting bored of it and will go back to my legacy once I hit 60. I’m sure a lot will do the same thing. COS had over 2k peak yesterday.
Many will do exactly that. But at least for 1-2weeks it’s fun. And as the numbers show it got quite some people at least for a bit interested in the game. That is all that matters

A lot are just getting the fresh start experience.
Most will be back to the legacy soon enough, some will not.
It’s fine…short term.
A stable game does need new players consistently starting up. Legacy won’t have that. That’s really the only thing that concerns me…
Short term it’s fine, long term…not so much.
We’ve gone from FSS will be empty and a waste of time threads, to this.
The everyone wants pvp threads never died yet no ones flagging or queing for 3 v 3 yet people are still convinced there’s a need for pvp servers. This is an odd New World indeed.

Predicted?
It’s an even week for FSS.
Wait after the event is over to see if it’s true. Till then, just don’t.

All of the “new” legacy servers are below 1000 players. Some of them are down to a couple hundred. The “old” legacy servers are all around 1500 to 2000 players.
They need to merge all of the sub 1000 servers soon-ish. Maybe a few weeks from now to see how populations stabilize.

All the new legacy servers on west were already that low. And YGG and El Dorado have only lost like 200 peak. I know on YGG at least, many are playing the event and will be back.
I’ve asked for specifics, because on the servers I keep my eye on, not much has changed.
They on FSS. That is what will save “the most loyal player base”. Come on guy
Delos went from 2500+ queue during brimstone week to about 2k peak to 1500 peak last night. Eridu was getting to around 1200 peak to only 800. Agatha which was opened up when Eridu wasn’t even half full has barely got 200 people at peak and should only be a matter of weeks until it’s merged probably first into Eridu and then Eridu into Delos (in fact I might transfer to agartha so I can load up on oricalcum ahead of the merge).
Meanwhile the two OCE fresh start servers both hitting 2500 and 1800 peaks last night.

As a patented member of these forums I promise you that if we did not overreact, we might not react at all.

Literally this. What’s with these purposely misleading titles? Saying thing to create a false narrative to boost FSS? Something else? Can’t we all just enjoy legacy servers and FSS and perhaps wait to make such claims? No need to create this whole competition. Just enjoy what you enjoy. People need to stop getting so viscerally invested in this. Or perhaps catastrophizing everything?

I don’t think legacy servers have died yet and am still leaning towards fresh starts dying in a month. Since AGS has decided to permanently divide the playerbase with fresh start, one of them will inevitably become the “main” worldset while the other dies off.
It would be an interesting decision if they forsake their core playerbase, basically forcing players to start from scratch and erasing their efforts from a year of continuous support and feedback.
But we’ll just have to see how it plays out.

It’s actually nice on the fresh start servers because people are flagged up more so it’s just been a brawl out and about

Since it will be only possible to transfer from FSS to Legacy and not the other way around Id bet my money on Legacy being the “main” servers.
These topics are so cringe XDD

I for one am loving them. From the lack of toxic gatekeeping energy and posts white knighting for the devs you can tell which portion of the forum users are the actual toxic ones 
Like the change up in energy from telling FSS players to stop asking for server support and to play on open servers in different regions to seeing these ‘legacy’ players clutching pearls over temporary server dips is just chef’s kiss.

Finally someone said it XDD
They want money. I dont think they care either way about who is playing where. I dont even think they themselves play this game lol.
Loyal players dont bring in consistent revenue aside from cosmetic purchases, but a decent guess is they are paying dev salaries with the original tens of millions of dollars they made pre launch and at launch.
But fresh start did bring in some new players with the steam half off deal. Thats cold hard cash for the corporation 
One telling sign of all this, is that they dont charge a sub for the game…i mean they dont even think the game is worth 60$ lol
