• I come from a relatively new server compared to the most of you here. Started in s214, and with around two weeks into the game, my server has become relatively quiet and its only mainly my group thats participating in all the events. The recent Matsuri was even a joke where some of us could not even find an opponent after more than 30mins of matchmaking. There was a whole lot more people initially, and whats the reason that those people left??
  
  Well its clear, the large group of people that left either think that their power ranking is not up to their expectation cos of the p2w players, and they left for a newer server where they stand a better chance to be at the very top, hoping to enjoy that shimmer of delusional fame projected in mere pixels on a monitor.
  
  Thats when there is an excessive amount of servers being opened almost on a daily basis, a large portion of the "new" people will always abandon their current progress to seek for a better one they wish. Lets face the fact, most people who know the game would have knew it in the past few months, these new servers are merely just a dumping ground for the people that are always unsatisfactory about their current progress in the game. And, its a vicious cycle. The only way it stops? When people finally gets bored of the game, when people finally realize that this game aint worth the time and effort they make , they quit it once and for all. So why do the developers keep on adding new servers almost on a daily basis? Is it worth to sacrifice the long term prospectss of the game for the short term profits you see on the pixel screen?
  
  The decision lies in everyone and all the players as well, the developers are not forcing people to join the new server, but the mindset in playing such a mmo browser game has to be tweaked in A LOT of the players. There will ALWAYS be someone better than you, There will ALWAYS be someone paying more than you, so if you cant be at the very top, why cant you join an older server with a great community? This is the dilemma I am facing right now in a relatively new server that's already half dead, I regretted not researching more carefully into this before setting my account on the recommended servers on FB. Now that I put resources and time into the game, it will make me think twice before leaving this server for an older one. However if the situation turns dire enough, I might just abandon my progress and resources and seek an older server like S1 rather than a new server where everyone flock to
