I'm guessing it must be pretty easy for Mythic to release a fresh server, especially if it has the same rule set as the current server, perhaps with a mechanic to make buff bots obsolete.

The debate is usually along the lines of whether or not a fresh server would divide population, but I think most of the people on Ywain are comfortable with it, whereas a lot of players who would play but don't, would come back for a new server (see the thread with a poll showing 65% of people here feel that way).

Do you think it is realistic that they would release a fresh server? Is this the kind of thing that they would actually do if there was a demand for it?

Bad guess.

No. Just no.

YAWN !!!

65% of people might SAY they'd come back for it, but that many wouldn't really come back. Of those who DID come back fewer would stay. The time has passed when they could experiment with new servers. Now the risk is too high.

But what really is the "risk"? EA/Mythic is likely making less than 2 million a year gross on this game. The profit then is much lower. What are they "risking" if they provide something that increases subscription numbers and probably takes a week to release?

I don't think people would quit because there is a new server.

The risk is losing all their customers. You wont get more customers you would LOSE them. What do you think happen when ppl leave ywain to try the new servers and what would happen when they get bored and return to ywain? Jesus just look what happend when they released Classic servers.

player A stays on regular server,
player B goes to classic server,
player C goes to classic server,

player A misses players B and C, but doesnt want to start over again... leaves the game...

Player C gets bored of the new shiny server and goes back to old server... to find out that player A left... so player C leaves as well..

thats what happened with classics... and thats what will happen again if they launched a new server.

the population would drop so low neither server would be viable and the game would close down compeltely

When will you guys realize that a new server will hurt the game overall more than it will help. Mythic knows this already, that's why they aren't going to add another server.
