The Fresh servers. The players will invariably go back to the established servers. Just look at where the Fresh WotLK servers are now.
Speaking of, I remember when Fresh WotLK servers launched. Within two weeks there were dozens of players on the forum arguing unironically that it was too late for them to start and they needed more Fresh servers.
I think that was the exact moment I realised Fresh is a pipe dream. People just trying to chase the same high, and deluding themselves into thinking it’ll be different this time.
I repeat: go play pservers for your arbirtarily determined F R E S H.
Incorrect. The seasonal toons are all inherently fated for deletion. Players must choose to transfer them. That’s another reason to dump the seasonal gimmicks.
I don’t like pservers. I would never play something where my characters aren’t guaranteed from being deleted. Fresh 2 year cycle servers along side era servers are the way to go. People are just too good at the game for others to not want a clean start every couple years.
I feel like the real reason is that there are some who still think that as this game approaches legal drinking age, there’s some kind of “I’m more special than you” status attached to being The Server First Blahblahblah.
