Next thing what happens is that old servers will die because every new player will join fresh start. Did you think about that?

I mean no new players will want join old servers and without new players old servers will only lose players eventually these servers die, we have seen this before.
Yeah which is like a way of ‘soft deletong’ all the legacy characters
I put 4000 hours of genuine grind and effort into my character. I sat through every bug. I reported every bot/exploit I saw. I sat through the games darkest hours (10k active pop)
And the thanks I get at the end of the day is my character being stuck on legacy servers which can never interact with the new players and will eventually be killed off. It kind of hurts

I disagree with both of your statements.

Was there too, i was playing even when majority of players didnt have hope for rise. I was managing community from my language when nobody else did. And now when rise come AGS just want get rid of us this way. This feel really shitty.
If you’ve played 4000 hours then why not start a new character AND hop on your main at different times. Levelling is quicker and servers are more balanced on FS without all the dupes and there’s also nothing stopping you from dividing up your play time between the to characters… You seem to have a lot of spare time 
Also a lot of the players on the FS are old players who have just come over for the FS event and will most likely go back to their mains at some point because they’ve put so much time in to them. It’s why they allow you to have multiple characters. People swap back and forth. Happens in every game.

I already have a lvl 60 character on these fancy fresh start servers.
Want to know the difference between my main server and this fancy new one?
- Legacy players are locked out
Thats it. Thats the only thing. The daydream fantasy people had for fresh start is farfetched. All the prices are the same (for perks, gear, tools, mats, etc), there are bots, there are millionaires and theres the ones who barely scrape by. Theres LITERALLY nothing different.
The only thing different is that any ‘returning’ or ‘new’ player will likely only join a fresh server. Why? Because of the bad memories they had on the ‘legacy’ ones. The dupes, exploits, bots, cheats, ENDLESS BUGS, and gimmicky systems. New players are deterred away from the legacy ones for that very same reason. Give it enough time and less and less people will log into legacy servers until the fresh servers become the new ‘mains’. Its happened in other games before.
And thats whats upsetting. The 4000 hrs I put into the game. Maxing trade professions, getting multiple PVP AND PVE gearsets to 625gs, achievement hunting, completing EVERY quest available, and more.
I understand locking Fresh Starts from transfer of any kind for a while. Hell, even several months. Maybe a year. But not FOREVER.

All the servers will be merged in a few months
I’m in AP so we were literally down to 1 server for a while.
There’s lots they can do to improve the game but one idea I’ve been trying to get out there to give people something to do regularly is open world forts like in OPR that factions fight to control for territorial buffs and debuffs that need to be destroyed to be able to take them over. The occupying faction then has to use resources to rebuild it to get the perks.
Both PvP and PvEers can contribute to this activity and it affects all sides a lot so it’s worth getting involved in.
AGS need to improve a lot of their systems though because at the moment everything is suffering. I actually enjoy all aspects of the game but each aspect seems lacking to the point that their doesn’t feel like much incentive to spend hours on them.
One major issue is the bots as well. Unless they get rid of them the whole player economy thing is just going to be a shadow of what it should have been. Also having minimum selling prices would help. The value of everything dies which just kills a large part of the game for the majority of players.
Hopefully if they can address some of these issues then server health will be more balanced. Although it’s going to be natural to have chunks of players fall off from time to time as they wait for new content, play other games etc.
Just give it time.
Within about 6 months, you won’t be able to tell the difference between fresh start and legacy. This is when the ones, that blame dupes for the state of the economy, will understand it’s not duping that was the problem…it’s the systems in place.

Well Jarda i understand your point of view but for people that just started again because they left the game and new players, imagine if companies like yours transfer in the new servers… lots of money 625 all geared up etc… of course you can create the same companies in FS and because you have experience dominate wars etc… but is not the same impact because gear score and builds are not a thing yet. It will take not much time but is like all start from the same foundation at the same time and not have a clearly advantage over everyone new…
i think they will open the servers in the future but for now is fresh air for new people… i really enjoy these FS servers so much fun and new people to kill in open world 
Have a nice day 
This is how I feel exactly and I’m stressing out. I wasn’t on the most popular server before FSS dropped but still over 1500 pop active at one time. At least one Opr always going, wars every night and then fresh start hit and now there has been 3 wars? And each side barely had 50 players sign up. Opr has over an hour que during peak times and arenas are non existent. You couldn’t put it more perfectly, been playing since day one, put up with every bug and issue and just road the storm. When the storm finally started to settle and the light at the end of the tunnel started to come. Fresh start hit and just kills my server completely. The other legacy servers I could transfer too where my ping is good has also seen a decent decrease in players. It just sucks investing so much and working your crafts and skills and getting all your gear just to have it seem pointless since everyone is on fresh start and since no one can come over it’s very possible legacy servers will struggle.

I am not at all against Fresh Start Server.
Infact i am happy they did add them.
I am ok with them being Fresh Servers where new players want to face players they didnt have that gear etc,.
And i am happy they disabled transfer TO these servers.
But i dont understand why people cant transfer FROM Fresh Servers To Legacy ones.

100%, they should allow transfers OUT. Honestly, I’m over the discussions of these on forums related to servers because nothing gets resolved until it’s too late sadly.
Ohhh okay i agree with you on that… i missed the point
They will merge them anyway … or allow transfer if legacy will be dying ( more like allow transfer cuz $$)… after 2 months they will no longer be fresh start servers xd
Less than that. About 1 month max. There are already 625 players on fss.
