Thread: Fresh Start will ruin 2.0

It doesn't take as long as you think for an economy to establish itself, and this is usually addressed by giving current players who want to switch servers a chance to transfer to the new servers. This way you still have people of all levels. WoW has been doing this for years and it has worked fine for them. I've certainly never heard about anoyne complaining that there's a new server with new players on it.

I don't know where anyone could get this funny idea that a new server, especially if you're not playing on it, could ruin the game for you or anyone.

Fresh start implies NO TRANSFERS, otherwise its not really a "fresh" start, just a new server. If there were transfers this would not be an issue. So you are correct.


And kindra, you are correct. That is the basic point of this thread.

And I never said SE wont treat servers differently. they might. But the point is that if they do, people on the servers will complain about being treated different than others. It becomes a question of "how do you treat each server equally without making them think the other server is getting an advantage". And then what if they make a mistake and one server gets a massive advantage for a week?

I think the problem is that you are putting this across as fact. "It will." instead of "It could." We don't know what SE has planed and doesn't as far as Gil goes for each server. I know in XI they changed gil prices when the need came around, rusty caps and such. As time went on they changed prices for NPC's. But this was only when the prices were exploited or the need for the items was reduced.

You know I really should have reread that last post before posting this lol.

I'd like everyone to click the OP's username and look at the threads they have started. I promise you.... it's worth it. I'll put a few in here.

Make leveling optional (Yes, you've read that right)

Let's make hard raids drop vanity gear instead

If you bothered to read the first post you would realize it was a criticism of someone else arguing that leveling should be optional

And if you bothered to read the second post you would realize it was an argument that the hardest stuff in the game should drop vanity gear so that hardcore players have something to work towards, but so you don't get that split between casuals and hardcores like in ffxi. That was argued in sept 2011, when this game was still supposed to be "casual and solo friendly" unlike now.

I have read them and no matter if it was a self proclaimed clever way at mocking power leveling or not still shows the idiocy in your ideals. Also, this wasn't labeled as casual and solo friendly. It was a work in progress that at one point had that feel to it.

Bottom line is, nobody knows s#!%. Especially you.
