Exactly what everyone said would happen when FSS were announced.
FSS was a joke…only fools wanted these and AGS are the bigger fools for wasting dev time creating them.
I said it was a bad idea when they were announced, saw this coming…
They need to merge them asap into the main population. Can’t find groups = peace out. I’m a tank and it’s getting diff to find groups (I’m on El Dorado fyi)…
dont wanna know how much cash they grabbed tho
I agree. They should have done so.

Lol still many lobbies on eldorado especially at peak hour…i play there too
Funny I don’t agree with anyone here… I don’t want my server to merge, nor will I leave my company because of few expeditions more, I’m quite happy as it is.
However, what I would like and what would solve my issue is cross server group finder. Also mutations level, why it needs 10 levels is beyond me. But I don’t think these things would be coming any time soon as this game chat lags if you decide to mute general chat, I don’t want to think what would happen if you tried cross server chat.

Man I feel for you, if you want I hope you’ll be able to move from the server.
Cross Server functionality for grouping purposes is a standard in most MMOs…except in AGS’s New WOrld. I feel for the OP, not sure what else to say at this point. This game launched without some of the most BASIC functions that are standards in games today.

it’s not like a lot of people talked about how FSS are useless and now we are here
honestly AGS should drop that FFS label and make those servers legace and allow to transfer in and out
Currently on EU FSS servers, total population:
2,823 (around 45% of all EU population)
More than one entirely full server, representing almost half of all EU players. So uh… if they’re useless then why are people playing on them?
The busiest FSS is busier than the lowest population legacy and not one single EU server is full (1.8k highest pop). By your weird definition, legacy is also useless.
FSS, like all servers (including all legacy) just need merging. All this nonsense talk about whether they’re needed or not is irrelevant. They’re necessary so long as players play on them and right now you could maintain two busy FSS servers in EU alone and that isn’t even taking into the consideration that many players would return as soon as the merges happen; I know at least 30-50 (and some would switch back from the legacy servers they reverted to once the FSS server got too quiet because AGS have delayed merging for way too long). And I’m not even considering the Season 1 start. Because, no matter how pessamistic you are about that, it will bring some players back for at least a short while.
If you prefer legacy, just stick to that and stop pretending your voice matters in this discussion.

Specifically made a new main on a FSS because of the low populations. Not all of us want merges from them; if you wanted a high population server where mutation runs were no problem, why’d you make a character on a FSS in the first place? Also, who on earth just stands around in a town for hours on end waiting on a lobby to fill? The whole raison d’etre of the lobbies is so you can go off and do other stuff in the game whilst u wait. So kind of sounds like OP brought about an evening of misery, waiting around, solely on themself!
sorry to break it to you but it sounds like the real problem you are facing is an overwelming difference in the ammount of tank/healers vs dps, you blame the low population but i play in nysa wich is overcrowded and i have the exact same problem as you do before 21:00.
and better be ready, because now that they are killing war hammer self sustain (trenchant recovery 50% nerf) many people will opt out of warhammer tanking to become full dps, wich will make this situation even worse.
just remember that they will open FFS to Legacy servers transfers soo.
OP here. I crafted some really good items while in town and did some trading. I wasted time in terms that I wanted to play mutations instead of crafting and trading.
The point of my post wasn’t to cry over my fate, I found the entire situation funny and we cracked jokes over how long will we wait. I just wanted to see how people in lower populated FSS-es are doing and to raise the subject of cross server functionality rather than merging. As full merging and transfers won’t benefit anyone cause I bet that legacy server players can’t wait for several hundred people competing for resources.
Yes, I’m leaving the game, but I’m only leaving because I find POE much more awarding and user experience is 5 years in front of NW. Only the trading might be a bit better in NW because the market exists, in POE you have to deal with people and bots for trades.
Edit: POE also has cross server trading and playing.

This sounds awful. Sorry that your going through that, hope they come up with a solution!
Most FSS suffers same problem.i have all 200 trade skills and all majors in Sutekh but that server really dying now…the only way you can enjoy FSS now is if you have active company or your own group.now i just spend most of my playing time at delos where i can use all my 25 weekly limits easily.hope they really open transfer from FSS…i miss doing m10 with my Sutekh toon
So if someone is posing a problem that they are facing with FSS that’s your answer? Let it be a lesson for them. Really? I have a lot of words for people like you but I prefer to reply to your statement.
I bought this game a couple of months ago after watching some reviews (which none mentioned any problem with FSS). I picked the game and when deciding to join a server I chose an FSS because the game literally tells you that FSS is recommended for new players because they will have a better experience (regardless of how accurate this statement is), and as someone who knew nothing about this game I joined one of the highest populated FSS, I had no problems until the past few months when the population dropped and I started doing mutations, so now according to your statement, I should learn from what lesson exactly?
The whole OP was raising an issue that most FSS players are facing right now, your statement is not helping anyone. That is to say that your purpose in being here is sharing opinions and helping.

It’s not. It’s normal for games to lose a substantial amount of players. The game has a lot more average players than several other successful MMOs. New World will be around for a while.

I hope so!
You’re entitled to your opinion, however I disagree. The game has a strong and active playerbase. It may not seem like that due to how they’ve structured their servers for scalability.
