Please remember that the new content we see in our server isn't developed for our server but is translated from the China server. So there's almost little say as to what content we get. The prizes and what events happen, on the other hand, Oasis seems to control and can be sometimes a problem if you compare with other servers.

Players will have a different expérience based on how fast they understand the game, how active they are, if they want to play competitive or find a group of friends, etc. There are some people after learning what not to do on their first time playing on a server join a new server to avoid the learning curve and play effectively so it is up to you should you make this decision.

Just like Billardo, I'm f2p since dec 2016 and I'm content with my gaming experience and plan to play as there hasn't been a update/buff/nerf/content that made a huge impact that I would quit playing.

When you mean numerous servers, do you mean playing on servers that have different languages or the the English server but different numbers? I play on China as well to get a feel of what I should do on this server once we get what they have eventually. When you mean few weeks, do you mean about 2-3 weeks?

If you plan to start on a new server, there won't be wide gap between you and the players that started from day 1 since you said you're a mild spender and if you plan to be active. I got lucky on my server as they weren't a lot of competitive players so I rose up the ranks quickly and boosted my power. Once cross sage came out, I was typically in the middle of the rankings but I knew I would get higher in the ranks eventually. Also, first thing I did when started playing is saving my coupons for a character as there are several games in the same manner where the game will provide you the game currency and you could just stockpile them. Nothing beats the feeling when someone gets mad at you for losing a match, calling you a p2w but I whip out the f2p card at them to shut them up.
