    Newest server?

    Hi

    I wonder which server(s) is the newest
    Since I am new I would like to start out on the server with the "youngest" population

    The worlds are listed in the order they were added in the NA worlds and JP worlds forums. If you hover over the names of the worlds, you'll get their forum IDs (e.g. 967 for Zalera). They were added in groups, a few at a time, so you can see, for example, that Mateus, Brynhildr, and Zalera were added together, since they have consecutive forum IDs that skip ahead several numbers from the previous server (Lich). Each of those forums also has a "Welcome to..." sticky, dated when the forum was created. For the later servers, that's maybe a day off from when the server itself was added. For the earlier servers, it's just when the forum was opened, since the servers had already been live for a while when the forums were opened.

    September, not December. All the servers have been up since a couple weeks after release.

    I think you would be fine with any sever not tagged as Legacy. They have all been up since launch (with the "newest" ones being added a week or two after launch). There are no "new" servers like WoW used to add every 6 months or so for new players to congregate on.

    My fault, I thought they created a few new Worlds in order to alleviate congestions so I checked creation date of aforementioned World's dedicated forums, giving as result December instead of September.
    Hmm... However, I don't understand this:

    That contradicts your next post, right?

    Anyways, Iymala hit the nail on this, so the matter stands resolved.

    You're reading the date the everyone-but-America way, I think, when it's written the American way. 09-12-2013 as in September 12th, not December 9th.
