New server when fresh start needed

Re: New server when
I agree too to start a new server. Ideally wipe the current one.
But best way will be to keep the current server without wipe like a memory "museum" of latest history phase and start a new separate server with fresh start and call it "new era" or whatever, and players will slowly start migrating to the new server over time.
Re: New server when
I'll never agree to wipe current server, there's so much time and money ppl spent on it. Just create a new server, i'm pretty sure everyone who's active on current server will migrate to the new server too, unless keeping 2 servers online is a problem...

agree, the current server should remain, we spent so much time there already so it would be nice to still have it.
New server has no problem to run, it only cost money, server hosting is still not cheap, but you can start low and scale the hardware power on the go.. so lets say $50-100 / month for the new server hosting.
Citizenship costs $5 / month so that means at least 12 citizen players must play on this new server to cover the server hosting cost.
Re: New server when
Good point. There's no reason why a new fresh server can't run in tandem with an old. In fact it can run on the same machine/ connection as well if I'm not mistaken.
This version of Faldon is nearing a quarter century of continuity. Let that sink in. Around 24 years since opening up this current server. So, I suppose some feel strongly about keeping access to it. With no practical limits that would prevent having a new and old version. That's fair.
But wipes also bring a revitalization to a game and is appealing to newer players, and old who just want a fresh game. It resets all the corruption, bug exploits, glitched slot machines, etc. etc that has accumulated over these years. I suspect that a wipe probably won't make much sense at this point until there are more major development changes to the game. But, what would that even be. *shrug*

Wipe makes sense mainly considering all the corruption and bug exploits we've had over the years as you pointed. But it also destroys all the effort we have put on to this server for 20 years. Also, considering current numbers, a new server on the same machine shouldnt be a problem, since we've had Faldon Test server for years, so it can run two faldon servers. I remember there were like 60 players on original server + 10-20 players online on test server. And i will say it one more time, keeping old server online isnt a problem, no one will rather to grind on old server than new one, we just want to have our stuffs there because we all know what it did cost to us, but we're all gonna go to new server.
Although I also agree that the game isnt ready for a new server too. Game has content until 300-500 only, we all know it's gonna get to a point where everyone will afk skills, afk level, etc... Idk if Zer and Wu are planning to add more content to the game, even current updates are coming really slow, and i dont blame them for that, they already said that it's not their priorities.
Also there should be a way to raise skills without afk macroing them, it's impossible currently.
There's so much before we have a stable and fair new server...

I would find a new server
