Friends in different servers - season reset allows joining new server?

[Paha]

I am confused with how everything is described.

Before all the rewards and things are claimed by me and my friends on different servers, I wish to get a confirmation.

The wording makes me think that servers are scenario based, so that after 6 weeks the servers and your character are wiped. your character info goes to eternal land and you make new character by picking new server, which is then on new scenario. And then your friends that were on different server previous season, can join you in the new one?

Or is the case that once you pick server, it's permanent. And that server just loops through seasons and your character itself is not deleted, but it just resets progression?

This is extremely confusingly worded and I cannot find clear cut explanation. I just wish to know, should I get my friends together right now on same server and that's it? It is a shame as we've claimed rewards and others on other servers already, but if it means we can't ever play together without doing this, then I need to know so we can do it now.

I would appreciate if anyone has knowledge of this.

You can apply for a new game scenario and then go to a different server.
After all, you can see that the last phase of the current season.
BUT Anyway, I think we need a more detailed explanation of the announcement.

From what i've read, you save material, some weapons if store in eternaland and all your blueprint with their upgrade. Probably you can move to other server, but dunno. I also have friend on differents server (i'm in EU and few of them are in US). I would like to play with them but i don't wanna start with nothings xD

Every time they roll a new seasonal scenario out it will be taking place on a new set of servers. The servers running the concluded scenario will be shut down and removed from the server list at some point (currently it looks to be about two weeks) after their season has wrapped up.

Their idea is for you to look at the server list and see a list of servers running several different seasonal scenarios concurrently. You decide which scenario you're interested in and play on a server that is running it until the event concludes, and then you repeat the process. You can play the same scenario again or you can pick a different scenario. Other players are doing the same thing and not necessarily choosing the same scenario as you. Obviously this results in a more fractured community.

It is simpler to look at it as a collection of mini-games to choose from, and a central account to which rewards obtained from those mini-games are funneled to. You can think of Eternaland as the visualized lobby you always return to between games; a place where your rewards are stored. Your character is not a persistent entity, but rather a device used to participate in those different mini-games. One month you're opting for Freeze-Tag, another month you're opting for Hop Scotch, another month you're playing Hide-and-Go-Seek. You get the idea.

I just want to say that I think people are setting themselves up for disappointment if they think these wipes will resolve the problem of full-servers preventing you from playing with friends. Unless you are actively coordinating with your friends and all agree not to select a new server until you can all start at exactly the same time, there is still a possibility of getting locked out from the next server your friends end up on.

No this is correct.

Imagine eternaland as your permanent base.

You then jump unto a server, once that goes kaput you take EVERYTHING you had on the server back into eternaland.

And can then decide to join another server, you can also just make characters on other servers.

I would obviously recommend getting your friends on the same one if you want to have fun together, but you can start now and then play together when the server ends.

Or when you feel that you have achieved enough, it can just wait on that server as you join another one.

It would be super bad if you couldn't chose another server after the reset. Our server is pretty much dead I have seen 2 guys in the past 2 days. Excluding prime wars where we are around 10

Yeah but that's the thing. I would like to understand the simple step by step of how this works. Because I am indeed worried that I would not be able to play with friends without abandoning current char and all things he has or the additional rewards he's gotten, only to start from scratch on new char having just wasted my time. If on other hand in couple weeks I can just pick new server, next time we know to pick same server as we start a new scenario or something. But right now it seems no one is 100% sure which way this works :P there's time invested into these and I rather not have many characters all around. Would be real bummer if I put in tons of hours for days or weeks and then learn "Yeah, if you ever want to actually play with your friends, you just got to make character on another server."

If that would be how it works, I just need to know now. Some of us could wait a couple of weeks, some don't want to and want to play with friends right now so they can make characters on the other server. Others don't have tons of time to re-play everything, so they would not want to get rid of their current character and progression.
