Why would they leave it alone when a majority of folks want it?
I just meant stop making new servers due to need then merging them later. It just causes confusion and annoyance imho.
IE - If you want to make new servers, fine. Make new servers. Just don’t merge them later. Leave them be.
I am not a dev, but I am pretty sure that it wont ask to much time to do so.
And in AGS, doing a Fresh Start is a best financial option they can do.
And that money will be invested to make the game better.
So Fresh Start = Good for everyone.

Fresh start just wants their dopamine hit then bounce again like they did before reaching 60, waste of time
Lol doesn’t make sense. Would a fresh start server be a whole different game? Nope. Give it 2-3 months, it will all be the same as the old ones.
Fresh start wouldn’t do anything at all in gameplay, it’s all gonna be the same. What’s next after fresh start servers, another one? Stupid model, just play on current servers and stop whining.
Good example would be Archeage. Look at it now.
What’s stopping you from enjoying the game now? Does other people having BIS stop you from having fun? If for PvP, you can get 2 perk gear(weapon perk+resilient) for 1-2k gold which is super easily obtainable. The true bis gear isn’t that much better and won’t be the determining factor if you’re a better player.
I fear there is a bigger elephant in the room here.
The fact is NW servers sizes are way too small for an MMO.
They can’t even handle 2k properly in some instances.
8-10k would be better, but due to current game design (gathering limitations) that would not work without some recoding.
The fact is 2k server sizes severely fragment the game’s player population.
This is why even “small” swings in player population are more readily felt, and require servers being merged or spun up.
The devs are probably a bit reluctant to spin up fresh start servers due to the above limitations.
Nevertheless, Blizzard has been using “fresh start” servers for decades in a sense, by simply preventing player transfers to new realms for the first 90 days.
It is not a new concept.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t take much imagination to understand why a certain “subset” of players are against fresh start servers
Funny. Using a P2W game as an example.
Next.
Kindly explain why you wouldn’t have fun if you kept playing right now in your server. Wtf is the difference from fresh start servers? Nothing. It doesn’t make any sense if the gameplay is just as the same as the old servers. You’re just asking for fresh start servers to feed your ego as being good in a new server cause you already know the game.
Explain to me what the difference will be if you have fresh servers in terms of gameplay.
That’s all you can say? Sad, boohoo I suck at NW LOL
I only want fresh servers once leveling experiance (1-60) and territory control are revamped.
I want to explore the new content while leveling, not blowing through it on a 60.
The pvp while leveling is the best the game has to offer. Lvl 60’s killing flagged folks that are much lower level is, well, not fun.
A lot of players will return for a fresh server, there is a lot of hype around it. It will be, you know, fun to play with these folks. A lot of them are really good players that refused to play a crap game.
The only reason not to like it is because the old servers will become ghost towns. I could care less about that to be honest. But i understand why this upsets you. I quit for 6 or 7 months and just recently returned. I don’t have much of an ego, and it is pathetically easy to be good in this game (ego aside mind you). Not really sure where you were going with that. Were you trying to establish some kind of superiority over me with that statement? Didn’t work.

You just proved my point. After going to 60, what’re you gonna do then? New Fresh Start servers? It’s a waste of time and resource, the game is not that populated as it is. If you want the leveling experience, then create a new character. What’s the difference?
Level 60s killing low levels? That’s an asshole move, but hey it’s the design of the game, AGS’ fault.
Old servers will become ghost towns sure. And in what, 3 months you’ll see it merge again with the Fresh Start servers?
Then you’ll complain again for Fresh Start servers.
Rinse and repeat.
The whole point for fresh start would be to attract new players and returning players. Obviously your gear/money is more important than that so no use discussing this with you any further. Why do you think they are revamping the leveling? For veteran players. Jesus.
“Tower, permission to do a fly-by”…
Yes, some are crying. But some have valid points and concerns. However, game needs more players and this is the way.
I have to question how anyone thinks that a Fresh Start server will take any more development time than starting a new server and just locking transfers? The argument that its a waste of development time seems lazy and disingenuous at best.
Considering the changes to territory control and income, the wealth imbalance wont be as big of an issue on a fresh start server, which will have a direct impact on how the economy plays out. In some ways a fresh start is more than just something for the players, its a sterile environment for the developers to test how the new territory control system will work on a server that isnt already flooded with players/companies who are WAY over coin cap.
So who really cares, and if the fresh start servers do die out, they can be merged into other servers later… no harm done.

I thought it’s for the leveling experience, for the awesome PvP, for the fresh economy?
Fresh start servers doesn’t even guarantee new and returning players. It will be guys like you who already play the game.
Actually, I’ll bite, go ahead with your Fresh Start servers, and I hope it happens. It will be the same all over again after how many months, and I assure you, you will ask for new Fresh Start servers yet again. It will be endless and useless.
Sure there are points against fresh start. But there are much more pros.
Their main concern is less people on the game. But I think it will be the opposite.
It is not only fresh start. It is also expansion. So old players will come back, and won’t want to grind 60 levels and will just play their old char.
News flash, the PvP has never been awesome and will continue to be stagnant in BSS. This is not a pvp game. If you think this pvp is awesome, you have very low standards.
It is. I can say the same thing about pve, if you think the pve in this game is awesome you have low standards. M10s that people can solo? Fetch quests?
This is a pve game with some pvp is all.
