New Server please

The idea sounds fun in theory, but I'm wondering how it would actually play out in practice and how sustainable it would be.

I understand that the desire to start fresh tends to stem from multiple reasons--such as trying to mix things up and prevent things from feeling stale, I think that's part of why those ironman type of challenges are made. There's also the point of when a server is open for a long time (in this case, almost 10 years) the majority of the player base tends to be at either the mid or late-game periods. This results in the beginning grind feeling a little empty because the population of new players, of course, isn't nearly as big as the rest of the community.

A new server would reignite that community of new players, because of the obvious, everyone would be new to a *new* server--including the older players should they choose to join it. However, my primary concern would be if there is truly enough of a population to support a second world/server (especially long-term) without the main server seeing the effects of the currently active player base being split up further, including those new players that I suspect would end up being even less common in such a case.

I think a poll of some sort to gauge the amount of interest in something like this would be cool to see metrics wise.

 

Although very interesting concept it would just thin the already thin population even more

Heh I remember this thread

 

new server with Aran, Mihile, DemonSlayer, DualBlade, Evan. would be great
that chinese server used v118 is truly smart

that chinese v118 got 2000 constant online and 5000 on and off, they at least have more brain cell than most private sv out there

 

ppl here are enjoying v62 server. we don't need those stupid new classes.
another, they only have 2000 constant online and 5000 on and off right? we win them if you see our server data! (2000 online is because they are not global server.)

 

let's say about how to ruin new server economy. don't underrate how madness ppl are here.
1. start at 4 mages to high enough level to 1 hit specific monster in specific meta map.
2. make mu mule.
(1+2 needs less than half year. if you are mad man, i trust you can complete it in 3-4 month.)
3. start your mesos farming trip!
new server market price will be nothing different to the orginal server after 1 year. will you ask for new server again?

 

Crossade had an idea like that, in the end it went bankrupt kekw, it's double the work for the staff and it splits the players a lot

 

You will be sorely crushed within a week after a fresh start when you see how players optimize their gameplay and start item-smegaing their 14+ WA gloves, chaosed WA capes, and other decent scrolled items. You will feel the gap even more as the market has yet to be established. 60%/70% scrolls are going to cost over a mil, compared to now where many of those would cost under 200k.

With the current economy, you could easily establish a solid infrastructure within a month or two if you have the knowledge, which people here will be more than happy to share with you.
