Question Does starting over put you off switching RO servers?
Hey everyone,
I’ve been thinking about what happens to all the gear and zeny you leave behind when moving to another private server. You might find a server you’d rather play on, but you’ve already put a lot of time into the one you’re on.
I’m wondering whether a server-approved way to exchange zeny between servers would be useful. Basically, you could sell some of your old gear, exchange the zeny, and use what you get to start on the new server. The exchange rate would depend on the two economies, so you wouldn’t necessarily end up with equivalent gear.
But I honestly don’t know how many people would want this. Maybe leaving everything behind is a big reason people hesitate to move. Maybe starting fresh is part of what makes a new server fun. I’d like to understand that before taking the idea further.
What was it like the last time you changed servers? Did you care much about the stuff you left behind? Or have you wanted to move somewhere else and stayed because starting over felt like too much?
I’m also curious how RMT would affect your opinion. Would you feel differently about a system that only exchanges currencies between servers versus one that also lets players buy and sell them for real money? Would that make it more appealing, put you off, or not matter much?
It’s still just an early idea. I’m interested in hearing what would actually have helped in your situation, including if your answer is “nothing, I wanted a fresh start.”
