Iâll be a returning player (only got to level 52 upon release) and Iâd welcome a fresh start server without transfer capability. Iâd delete my old character in order to learn the game again on a server with a fresh economy.
Iâve been levelling up a new character yesterday just to get back into the feel of playing and whilst Iâm not keen on the combat, I do very much love the immersion of New World! I like WoW and Fortnite style graphics and this is the first game to make realism style graphics fun for me.
Im not going to be racing to end cap, Iâll likely enjoy the quests and level up all professions as I go, as I do like to be self sufficient, as I find auction houses far to expensive a lot of the time and Iâve never been a rich player of an AH fiend.
Hope the fresh start servers open soon as I really want to get cracking!
canât wait to come back and feel the community again early level new world itâs one of the best feelings in MMO games that I felt, i hope no server transfer for at least a year
There will likely be necessary transfers (or merges) within months. Letâs not pretend SUDDENLY players who quit already will not quit this time. We are inching toward Archeage levels of âfresh startsâ âŚ
Not if they improved the game. If the game is better fewer people will leave. Lost Ark is proof of that. Still hitting over 200k concurrent nearly 8 months after release. If the game is great and continues to improve the population may even grow.
And the fresh servers will naturally be merged with other fresh servers first. By the time they have to be merged with legacy servers it will be a long time away at which point it wonât matter.
The game is much better. But I strongly doubt that the millions of people who quit will be long-term satisfied with the changes. There is still not much content. There is one OPR map, one arena map and no leader boards, hardly any world PvP, no raids and little PvE content. There are still fewer high level dungeons than any other major MMO on market.
What I think will happen is fresh start servers will just put a stain on existing servers because a lot of current players will make the switch (which also goes to show that content is lacking if THAT MANY current players are willing to start over).
Fresh start servers are not good. Their need generally shows major flaws in game design. Just look at the mess that is archeage and its constant cycle of fresh starts
Happy to be wrong, but the Renaissance is going to be short-lived. If you quit within 2-3 months the last time (the majority of quitters), I donât see anything that will keep them longer this time.
You are a true hero for finding all these links and articles haha. Thank you, hopefully these debby downers and forum warriors will see this post and chill out for a bit.
PLAY IN {worldName}
<font color={colorHex1}>You can only have 1 character in the </font> <font face=âlyshineui/fonts/nimbus_bold.fontâ><font color={colorHex2}>{worldSetName} World Set</font></font><font color={colorHex1}>.</font>
If you want to play in another {worldSetName} World, you will need to delete this character in {worldName}
If you have friends playing in other {worldSetName} Worlds, you will not be able to play with them.
Only new characters can be created in {worldName}. Characters cannot transfer to and from this Fresh Start World.
Characters may transfer to and from this world.
{worldName}
lvl60 in legacy with 1 year of resources/gold obtained âyou know howâ, are going to wait to get in. 3 month is like not opening a fresh start server.
The only way i see a merge or transfers from legacy to fresh start is if the fresh start go really low in players after 6 or 8 months.
And then what? Those who are far ahead are gonna keep holding their territories on their own servers because they earn more. Everyone else wonât be much ahead or ahead at all.
Also low players on fresh? It is gonna be exact opposite, everyone will keep starting in fresh server from now on.
then? well⌠let´s see what happen first with all the new leveling experience, the new territory management mechanics they´ll add, a new market with no bad history, X4 playerbase because of the fresh start server announcementâŚ
If in a year from now the game loose their player base again (because they didn´t learned from their mistakes), who cares if they merge both legacy and fresh? No one would be playing it anymore.
