When is the new server?

Already waited for long time!

New server?

I would like to play again, but I would like to have a good match, does anyone know when a new server will be launched?

New server schedule?

Is there a schedule for how often new servers are added? I haven't played in a looong time and am curious to see how the game evolved, but I want to see it from a new player perspective.

Just figure it may be ideal to start on a fresh server in case I get into it and any competitive features that may now be in the game :)

Otherwise, maybe the latest server is fine?

Good morning

The newest server (s 6) has opened on 21.10.2021.

New servers are opened by the devs based on population and not on a specific time frame.
The devs are especially focused to have a healthy population on a server and at the same time not have a big difference in progress between new players and "old" players.

A new start on server 6 is I think adequate

Thanks for your quick reply, Aurora!

Hello 1043693039

Certainly there will be a new server at some point, but for the moment there's no known date for it.

Thanks for your reply! But I do wish you can launch new server asap.

From my experience, a game launching new servers frequently, even though the old ones are not at their player capacity limit, is a very bad sign (the worst I have seen so far was a game starting new servers and merging old ones at a two week schedule).
It means, that there are not enough ways for new players to catch up with older ones, and that this misbalance needs to be circimvented by creating a fresh start without touching the underlying issue.

Aside from that, it mostly serves as a way for whales to "win" and take over the leaderboard, while starving existing servers of new users, drying up all the guilds. The resolution to that seems to be to merge servers, erasing those who previously led because they can't keep up with the players on the older servers.

Something new has to be done for new players not very fun when you start and everyone is 200 levels above you and you say no new servers are planned at this time. There is no incentive for a new player to even keep playing.

Yeah, that's right!
There are certainly reasons to start on a server where everyone is already ahead, that would be the higher guilds and also the higher fellowships.
Where you get the chance to get high guild/fellowship bonuses as a newcomer, which has an immediate effect on the game and you level up much faster.
On the other side, as you already wrote, for many new players it's nicer to start somewhere where everyone has a similar level and there aren't big differences.

Unfortunately i can only say that there will be new servers, but i don't know when.

see FAQ: #2.10 When will the next game server be opened?

Well the high guilds won't even accept a low level so that's out.

As was said, on servers that are not the newest one, player shortage becomes an increasing problem, that will hit even the top guilds rather sooner than later. Fellowships might be more difficult, as they are easier to reform and tend to have stricter requirements on high rating, but I doubt, you would not find a guild that is happy to pick you up on a server that's older than a year.

All I can say as a new player I am level 23 and go look in chat and see a level 600 on one of your newest servers I am going omg even if i dropped 1k on this game i will never be able to compete against those players. I play but forget about being competitive no matter how you paint it realistic i am and always will be a weak toon just going through the motions. Plus I have never seen merges to be and answer it's a band-aide trying to console players which it never does. This is just how I feel granted I have no knowledge how the inside game goes this is just a view of and average player.

You can get on the leaderboard as a free player. Might even be able to crack the top 10 if you play long and early enough. But yes, there are people that have spent thousands of dollars who no free player is going to catch no matter what. It is pretty much part of the game that most people should forget about being competitive and just enjoy watching numbers go up. I think it can still be fun anyway, but it is not for everybody.

Leaderboard is just for whales. As dirty pleb i ignore it.
