Fresh Start Servers and Names Suggestions

[Sirus]

I apologize for another fresh start post, but I have to put my hat into the ring as well.

With the next update and expansion the game will be turning a new corner. With this transition they have an opportunity to recapture the audience that left, and steps forward will be important.

For people to take them seriously, they need to release these servers in ALL regions and most likely multiple of them as there will be ques on these servers. They need to prevent any transfers from “Legacy” realms permanently and never allow them. If they spin up more fresh realms because of overpopulation than you should be given free transfers from fresh to fresh, That’s all.

As for names, New World probably did the worst possible thing when it came to naming your character. They did globally locked names, and on top of that they allowed regions to start EARLIER than others meaning if you weren’t in the first region, you didn’t even have a chance at obtaining your name. An absolute joke of system when the reason why they did this is so they could merge servers without issues however, you would never merge an EU server with an NA so it makes no sense to do this.

I’m a real get into the Character, go with Names I relate to or have been in all other MMOs and really try to live in the world, RP style kind of player. And I’m sure there are many just like me out there. Least I hope so because it makes the game very fun and alive. When I wasn’t able to obtain any of my go to MMORPGs names, it takes a couple notches out of the interest of the game for me, yeah shallow, whatever. It shouldn’t have been this way to begin with.

NAMES SHOULD BE REGION LOCKED NOT GLOBAL!!

So my proposal is to make names REGION LOCKED on all fresh start servers, and since no transfers to these realms outside of fresh start realms there will be no problems with duplicate names.

Essentially Fresh Start servers is a chance at Re-releasing the game without any game breaking and economy destroying bugs. And quite literally a clean slate including Names and Company names.

TLDR: Open Multiple Fresh Start servers for all regions, Never allow transfers from “Legacy” Realms. Do region locked names on all Fresh Start servers so players can play the character they wanted from the start.

Within three months of server creation it will be just like any other server.
This is a MMO where one is rewarded for time invested, you will be farmed by the no lifers in top shelf gear on new start servers and established servers alike.
Unlike a few other MMO’s it’s fairly easy to catch up to the majority of the long term population.

Fresh starts are extremely unnecessary for another few years… they haven’t even changed the entire leveling process. Players are just being selfish as of right now and just need to deal.

[Sirus]

But they are changing the leveling process, so it would be the best time for fresh start servers

[Sirus]

Stop lol. It wont be the same like old servers with absolutely busted markets and multiple people at gold cap. The small amount of playbase that exists can still exists on those old servers. Fresh start needs to be seen as a relaunch for the game. You know the population numbers aren’t good, this is needed to breath life back into the game. Why would you stop that?

I like that names are Global locked! Makes your character feel more unique and that this name is yours only. This was an awesome move by AGS and happy they implemented this.

You probably didnt got the name you wanted and now you want others to have their names stolen or duplicated. Thats bad, shame on you.

[Sirus]

No if you read it correctly, they would still have their names on their original servers. You would literally be unaffected by this, and you didn’t even need to reply.

@Sirus

You would literally be unaffected by this, and you didn’t even need to reply.

You are mad that you didnt get the character name you wanted, and now youre mad that people dont share your opinion. Okay

[Sirus]

Look my friend, no one is mad here, why even approach with this gaslighting angle?

This is a suggestion to prevent frustration on the re release of Fresh Servers to attract the many lost players. Anything to add friction to this is to literally self destroy the very game you like. How does this harm you in any way to make you react like this?

classic/legacy servers = a meme. I am so tired of hearing this. These positions are absolute peak level stupidity.

You are advocating for a server that people will break inside of a month, have you no reason or thought between your ears? The knowledge on the game, its perks, what is good and bad is out. you cannot back peddle that.

You are better off helping the game fix the issues so the servers that are alive stay that way. SO the problems you are experiencing are fixed.

Believe me, fresh servers will solve nothing.

Until territory control and wars are sorted, fresh start servers are just gonna be like old servers.

Good news is they are coming down on exploiters hard, so that is less of an issue nowadays

So dupeworld is much less of a problem.

[Sirus]

If you’re tired of it than why are you seeking out these posts to reply too? You cannot speak for everyone when it comes to rolling on a fresh start server.

After the numerous bug and exploit fixes AGS has had to do, and with the release of the new content and leveling experience, its absolutely necessary to have fresh start servers to capture the audience that would like to return to the game. These people want a chance to start fresh and be apart of the build up of a server. I don’t know what you mean by “break” the server in a month, If you’re referring to the exploits and gold dupes I hope that would be fixed prior…

The diehard community of this game is literally the biggest downfall of the game itself lol
They pushed people away 2-3weeks after start. Just remember how any critique voiced was hit with a solid “juSt lEaVe if U doN’T liKe iT” " we don’t need you here" “more room for us people who actually enjoy the game” .
It’s like that group of people reemerged now to push as many people away as possible AGAIN xD

The game was on the verge of dying. Without the new hype they might’ve just closed the whole thing down a month after Brimstone release. People are hyped. Give them what they ask for and MAYBE the playerbase can easily double despite the game not being perfect yet

Why people are so scared about makin this fresh start servers transferable after 2-3 months … gold ? it can be solved easily you can transfer max 100k. flood market with items ? np. You can transfer only bound items nonsellable. Problem solved restricion with transfer on those FFS servers will be needed, for sure transfer a guy to FFS server with 7KK in his company bank must be forbiden.

[Sirus]

Exactly, I’m honestly just making a suggestion to help the future of the game flourish but the responses is essentially that fresh start servers shouldn’t exist because they will just become broken, exploited and terribly bad just like the original servers. yikes.
