    I suspect when they do announce what the new server is that the people hoping it's completely fresh with everyone starting at level 1 will not be pleased.

    Depends if they wipe RK5 and with it everyone's work over the years, or open a fresh RK6(?). If the former, yeah "not be pleased" is an understatement.

    There is 100000% not a chance on earth they are going to wipe the current server in order to restart everyone's progress. I'm not sure where people are getting this from (I suspect the misinformation being passed around on the poll comments is the main reason.)

    I think people expecting them to have expansions shut off or gameplay features majorly changed may be disappointed. If the idea is to make a new server that is the same version/expansion-wise as the current one, but one where there are no transfers available and everyone has to start over, I don't see why that would be out of the realm of possibility. It's probably quite easy to turn one of the old servers back on.

    FC are talking about migrating the current server data to a newer one, newer hardware newer net code, basically newer everything; and that is it. A fresh shiny new server for the current game to run on.

    I've seen people misquote the poll ADDING the word "START" to it; in order to try and prove their misguided assumption is correct.

    While you're right that it doesn't say "Start", their wording isn't exactly as clear as you make it out to be.

    Directly from the poll:

    "Would you be interested in a fresh server for Anarchy Online?"

    This could mean new hardware, but it could also mean a server where you start fresh. Without clarification from Funcom, I personally take it as a fresh start server as that seems much more in-line with a game they haven't spent money on in years. Cheaper to start a new server using hardware they already have than to upgrade to new hardware.

    I agree with this. Nothing in their wording makes me think that they are migrating current data to a new server. The wording makes it sound like a fresh "lets begin from nothing" server. Which would make sense considering how wacked the economy of the game currently is.

    I'm game for this, I'd be back in a heartbeat if a new fresh server opened up.

    I dont see the problem with the current economy. If 15 years of Ao play work gets wiped i never return to this game with any of my accounts. Ao is a game where getting things take time and work. If funcom wiping the db servers i don't think any paying customers will return and AO will die a quick permanent death.. Better to support what is already here..

    So its highly unliky that funcome would do such a thing, to go kill there customers. Just think about all the money people have payed over the years getting things with subscription, and then to find out that all there work get wiped?.. It's a self-shot.

    Problem with economy? how? So yeah things cost more now days, but you also sell things for higher price.

    You say that but Secret World: Legends did just do exactly that in 2017. SWL is a total wipe of TSW. All characters and progress are gone. You can transfer over a few cosmetics to one character and that's it.

    So my comment was based on FC's own recent actions. The poll wording is ambiguous.

    SWL was a kind of relaunch, though, with new mechanics and everything, so it makes sense because some things may no longer have been possible after the changes. I'm highly skeptical of them making any changes at all to AO, so a wipe wouldn't really be necessary.

    Nope, SWL exists completely separate from TSW which continues to exist as before, only with a population expressable in two digits (or, most of the time, one digit).

    Edit : except they don't turn on the events in TSW anymore (Halloween & christmas so far).
