Why does it matter if it’s only FSS? The important thing is that FSS are not immune to dupes and to think so is completely irrational. Your legacy beta test theory was incorrect and FSS will have every exploit and dupe that legacy will.

Idk why they cant figure a way to lock only those specific servers where the bs happened, and not the entire game ffs.
there is another post about this… here it is:

I’m on the fresh start servers myself and I like your idea. I’d prefer the really seasoned ones with full BiS to not come over till I’ve had some time myself to at least approach that point. That said, making so legacy characters can never get incoming fresh blood if that fresh blood doesn’t want to interact with them is unhealthy for people with legacy characters that don’t want the time they put into the game to go to waste.
I could see them making new fresh start servers in the future, and if that future comes I don’t want to have to restart or eventually see the world I’m playing on crumble. On the flip side, there are some of the most seasoned players on legacy, they stuck with the game and had a lot of time to improve their skill, and I want to eventually see an influx of sweaty veteran competition into my fresh start server, not just new blood.
A year is a good amount of time to give for fresh start servers to be entirely untainted from legacy IMO.

Hardly.
Dupe isn’t the only reason FSS exist and the way Legacy players have been acting towards FSS players on here is fast moving to the number one reason I’d not want to get in their server. All the toxicity from the people who can’t even understand people prefer to start fresh with other people all starting at the same point rather than being with people who invested thousands of hours in it.

worry not my friend, players are splitting themselves, categorising into PvP players and PvE players
Working out great, 3x average daily users than before.
And remember that every second you are logged out of a FSS, someone on FSS is pulling further and further ahead of you and leaving you behind.

That brings me to an idea: solo fresh start servers.
Also known as single player mode.

The only way you can never see how far behind you are.

I’m already behind 80% of the server, doesn’t change the fun of a fresh start. Unlike I don’t obsess over other people playing the game all the time on my server or on another one
All the legacy players that duped/exploited, turned the servers into a 1 company tryhard endgame gatekeeping cesspit that scared off new players and created a stigma around said servers.
but keep celebrating the long term damage of FSS and New World, don’t know that’s kinda weird in my opinion.
I don’t think the appeal to most players that FSS had was anything to do with the economy. Most just went to enjoy the leveling experience again and decided to stay, contrary to what the legacy die-hards claimed would happen. Not many went back to legacy after 2 weeks. And to think that FSS would be free of future bugs/dupes is just idiotic. Even more idiotic are the legacy server players excited and happy that a new dupe happened, even though there is zero evidence it stemmed from a FSS. From what i am hearing, it happened on one of the SA east servers, but again, zero proof of that either. Keep staying toxic about it though…
FFS and legacy arent two community. There were always two separate community. Live and PTR LOL
Then MMORPGs might not be the genre for you. There is nothing wrong with that but I think NW is many people’s first MMO and are new to the genre or coming back to them after a long hiatus. There has not been an MMO released without some sort of dupe or significant exploit. The key is what they do in response to them and their response is very impressive compared with release.
FFS! FSS tainted? Say it ain’t so!
We have people over youtube celebrating the death of NW…
AGS may have pissed some people with psychiatric needs.
May very well be worse than that.
I think this is honestly a great reason to have them. They are a nice tool to use to get new players into the game without feeling intimidated by a server full of max players. It let’s people experience the game differently. I think alongside other catch-up mechanics FSS every year after the expansion release isn’t a bad idea assuming they get merged into the main servers.
For those that used then to escape “dupes” and the whole fictitious “tainted server” narrative have shifted from pending disappointment to an active grieving process. I think many people this is their first entrance into an MMO and their expectations are vastly different from reality unfortunately. For some maybe it means this genre isn’t for them, that’s okay. We welcome new people! But for some they may be better off playing single player games because they cannot tolerate being “behind” or that feeling that they are behind. FSS can help dampen that feeling, but won’t work for everything with that issue. Ideally people are there to Amrine with similarly leveled players and do open world PVP at lower levels, etc
Anyways. Single player games are great for that “god-like” I’m better than all of the NPCs feeling that some people are chasing.
