I agree. I must say that they have show care and love for the product. Even if things aren’t going as fast as we may want, they are definitely working. I love the game and continue to play it because it’s enjoyable to me, but also because I’ve grown to support the dev team and am rooting for their success.

I literally quit shortly after hitting 60, I played the betas and and lets say I got a LOT of playtime on the game. I was literally the best PvPer back then and owned a big company. Now not a lot of ppl can say the same but my company and I didn’t quit because we “suck.” The end game sucked back then and it was SUPER BUGGY (literally can’t stress this enough it was god awful). On top of that a lot of ppl got banned and kicked for no reason because AGS was panicking which was understandable but it SUCKED.
In the end the game made a lot of improvements and obv the end game is better. Before you literally couldn’t do anything the T5 Azoth staff didn’t even work and chest runs were god awful; That was the entire game. Ppl aren’t gonna drop off quick probably 15% of the 20k+ that are returning might, but hey that’s a win for AGS.
AGS thank you for not giving up 
That’s exactly what I’m talking about my friend. We went through almost the same things and we are looking for a reason to return. I hope AGS gives it to us.
I thought about it a lot and it was never done. The entire launch should have been wiped and re launched, but that didn’t happen. So, no I don’t want new fresh pampered servers, because we have the consolidated hodgepodge of all the servers never made fresh. They can join all the happiness we have/had.
Oh my B I didnt realize you were agreeing lol I should have just replied to the OP.
But I mean there is a reason to play again. One is just to feel the rush of starting fresh, but other than that is the end game takes longer and there is more to do. For me I will probably hit end game minmax and prob just play another game till the next update and just repeat that.
But they will quit anyway again xd it’s normal anyway transfers will be avaiable after 2-3 months in those servers 
It is a good time People will reach 60 lvl in 2-3 days 600 expertise in next week, after 2-3 weeks onlybdifference will be lack of skill perks but thats all, after 1,5 month new servers will not be different than legacy servers.
I dont know if they’re meant to be different other than the gold inflation. Its honestly just good for returning and new players as its more appealing. TBH idc if they do fresh or not, but I would play on a fresh server for the true NW experience. Also ppl are going to quit its a B2P game. Ppl quit and wait till something big is coming out and go back. That’s a healthy way to play. Its not like other MMOs that have a plethora amount of content since they’ve been out for several years.
Oh boy, a “think of the players who quit” thread.
You know they can… start playing again right? Like, just log on.
Ohhh the thinly veiled angst against those grimy, no-good veterans with their “hitting end game” and “having better gear than me.” We’ll trick AGS into thinking Fresh Start servers are the way to go and all their progression will be for nothing!
Exactly! and when the new Brimstone patch comes I think New World will be in a very good place, ready for a mass return.
This isn’t a “Think of the players who quite thread” it’s a ‘stop being a selfish thread’, aimed at anyone who is against fresh start servers. Particularly if you think it’s because people will just quit again. It’s like you don’t have faith in the game.
I’ve been playing since Beta more or less, it’s not a thinly veiled angst against veterans. It’s very blatant angst against idiots.
Answer this, New World has to create New Servers to accommodate all the New or returning players. That’s a fact, they have already created at least two in the EU. Why is it so bad to lock a couple for a time, so people can’t transfer there? What’s it to you? Why do you want all your current players to leave your current servers? Your position is brainless and the only argument is it takes developer time, which is wrong or they will all quit again anyway, which just shows a complete lack of faith in the game.
This is a problem though, as the way the servers and game is designed it really needs players to stick around. But I think you hit the nail on the head and they may need to re-think the way servers work. Or maybe even the game mechanics. The nature of MMO’s is most people are on off and on again. They really need a find way to accommodate this.
I think its too much vertical progression. We need cosmetics, furniture, titles, and eventually mounts to farm for. Like there’s gotta be some hard grindy stuff that doesn’t necessarily add anything but allows the player to show off. This helps players be in the game long enough for the next vertical progression to be released and then rinse and repeat.
They should take something like Palace of the Dead from FF XIV and add something similar. I saw some ppl just a wave-based mode like invasions that could also be fun,make into a tower defense-like mode using the forts bet ppl would love that.
I mean fresh servers are fine as long as they open 3-6 months. Never good to split an already dwindling population in hopes some people stay.

I split my post, that was responding to someone else.
I got the shit end of the transfer/merge stick more than once and the memory of what a disaster AGS created with servers is still fresh.
Imagine this, fresh start releases, and a 2 weeks in we see a post like:
“I just got this game and I don’t get it. I mean, the economy is terrible, I have literally no way to make money because everything sells for .25 cents. No one wants to help me, their all focused on racing to 60. I tried to craft, but all the nodes are down because everyone is in low level zones. I can’t buy new gear, its all very expensive on the market and I’'m broke. Why is this game so imbalanced and busted?”
“Oh, you must have joined a ‘fresh start’ server. Those are ass, reroll on one of the other servers.”
“Jesus Christ why didn’t AGS tell me???”

Yikes. I mean come on man.
Are you aware of the constant instability on the current servers? the Queue times? the opening, closing and merging of servers.
This is one team, the same team you mention here below.
So you don’t think that this team will have extra on their plate, more time dedicated to balancing not only one but two groups of servers.
Hello? anyone there?
I have zero angst against veteran players. I am one, even though i took a break. I still play on Orofena. Admittingly, i am not a fan of the try-hard sweaties though. My opinion differs from you on fresh start servers, and this enrages you for some reason.
lol, jesus. I guess they were clueless when they had over 200 servers to manage. They should hire a cloud/server company…a good one.
And whoa, you do realize we have some servers running now that would have the same conditions as fresh start servers right? “Check box: transfers off”. Holy crap…
Wow you are a genius huh…
Cheers!
Its quite obvious you hold little knowledge on much - let alone server creation, server groups and server maintenance.
I do appreciate you trying though…
Cheers jermsy!
