They won’t be new the older they get that is true. Kind of obvious really.
I haven’t seen so many players buzzing about in ages.
Just drop the whole FSS and see it for what it, just a server with a good population and you get other players, not just some random passing in the night because everyones running expeditions and thats it. Speaking from own experience of course.
Oh well, 50k+ new/returning players in and 1 player leaves. I think AGS can live with that 
yup, top 14 pop servers are currently fresh start. It is almost as if they don’t actually enjoy playing the game, just being the most powerful, which doesn’t bother most players (being PvE)
because you like wasting your time doing the same thing over and over? good to know.
And what do you do once you reach 60? (Clue; same thing over and over again [been there done that])
wow, this is not even the same thing, you want to sound smart but your metaphore is just asinine. cake is product, game is service.
Like a wise man once said.
^go eat some salmon^
you go to mutations, you increase your expertise to 625? and when you are done with that you quit and wait for another expansion.
I’ve put in way more than 1.5k hours and I think fresh starts are good for the game. I’m genuinely excited to see almost 120k concurrent yesterday. Im not concerned for my legacy character at all. I was concerned when the game was seeing 17k max concurrent a few months ago.
You do realise that there are many people playing this game and have at least one level 60 that have never experienced the new starting story.
So, while you are doing your mutations again and again, some are doing different quests and making progress through the game.
On mutations, can you explain why you do mutations? It seems to me that the purpose of doing a particular level of mutation is to enable you to do the next level of mutation.
You can make millions right after you reached 60 lvl… if you are try hard PvE player… 25 dungeons daily is 70-75k in pure gold + loot… a tbh with ward and bane you can do regular genesis, lazarus, BnB in 10 minutes ? …
What are you actually after?
I returned to the game after 6 months since stopping in January because I couldn’t be bothered with the issues the game was having. It’s in a better place now then where it use to be.
Fresh start servers are just an attempt to entice people back by offering a clean slate to take territories in the hope that exploits won’t ruin servers this time round.
Maybe you should consider the fresh start server as a seasonal character and see how you go this time around? And then jump back on your main for all the usual content - mutations, dailies etc etc
Just a suggestion as that’s how I’m looking at it.
The legacy servers are still there and you should not worry.
FSS will tone down a bit in 2 weeks and thats already planned since this RTA event will make it happen eitherway and when streamers leave, things will continue fine with FSS.
At my opinion much better then legacy servers, be it exploits, bugs, dupes and the majorly economy wise. When the player base at FSS lowers is not because it failed.
It is just because many legacy are playing there and some will go back.
OFC many ppl are just here because of streamers.
And there is the lot which quit and might quit again just because (well w/e the reasons they quit game).
But having 1 server per region of FSS, to be honest… it is fine. I mean there are regions (legacy) with only 1 or 2 servers, nobody said it would be different for FSS, the only things at least i am saying is that FSS will be much better experience from beggining to end then legacy, economically we will never reach what legacy server had, and thats the true essence… while things are much easier then what it was in legacy beginning… economically speaking they are much harder.
And if you just think it differently, please do get your bis in 1 week 625 like some already said the time is ticking 8 november 1:01 PM xd.
Not to mention i am hearing ppl saying ppl can make 75k/daily that ammount does not get even near 7m/weekly. so Yeah… pretty much FSS is dawae.
Bro he doesn’t care. He wastes his life to have a false sense of achievement to show of to others.
Now he feels threatened cuz noone will join his server and look at his massive timewaste.
Noone cared before, but there’s this illusion people create in their heads.
So cringe man XD
Or so many players playing 1st time a MMORPG
In FFXIV you literally get now in 3weeks what people worked YEARS for.
Cause well, games would die if they’d stand still
Once the streamer event is done, they will all be going back to their main servers and their community will follow them and become very packed again. I don’t see any streamer staying on these private event servers (as I assume AGS will shut them down when they are done anyways) and I highly doubt they will make another new character on another FSS since by that time it won’t really be a FSS anymore.
I am enjoying the lower pop on my server tbh (albeit we still have a lot of people at peak) as I am able to gather a lot more resources so I am stockpiling.
No, they’re not. I’ve been here since the start and I’m glad they created Fresh Start servers. In fact, I’m so glad that I rolled a character on one to enjoy the ride from L1 again in the revamped game world.
Just read your own post and try again.
Lol.
So I am a bit confused on what your problem with fresh start servers honestly is?
I read over what they are and I didn’t see anything that gives the players some type of massive leveling advantage that would make all your hard work seem pointless.
What exactly is your issue with these servers?
Whatever game they are playing now on those fresh start servers is the same game you are playing now on your legacy server is it not?
So whatever broken game you think you are stuck with playing on your server… is the same broken game they are playing on their new server… the only difference is you are already in better gear and have all your prof maxed out?
Are you upset that waves of people from the server you are playing on now will move to another server and your server pop will be dead… thus leaving you with a maxed out character that you can’t play the game with since there is nobody around to play with?
Like that would make way more sense to me to be upset about… but what you seem to be upset about is just not even a thing… please help me understand it.
P.S. 1.5k hours isn’t much at all if you played since launch, that would make you a casual imo. I played at launch and quit when Lost Ark came out… and had 900 hours clocked back then… soooooooo yeah.
How did a lack of fresh start servers ruin your experience? You could have just played on legacy.
The 119,000 player numbers on steam charts begs to differ!
Really? 119,000 player numbers ruined your experience? Really? Really?!
