No, it would only encourage people with the wrong mentality (fresh start mmo jumpers) to come and quit after 1 week.

I can pm IMC staff? i couldnt find where can u show me?
Via a ticket, or you can just PM them on the forums if you click on your profile, click on messages, then ânew message.â
Strongly recommend putting in a suggestion ticket first though, because inundating them via PM is going to piss them off and theyâre not gonna respond.
Still not answeringâŚokâŚlol
Im from Netherlands so ofc i would welcome a new EU server but im fine with new NA too its def playable.
I typed out this long reply but I donât want to add jet fuel to this forest fire. Think itâs best to let this one just die.

How would people far from NA or Netherlands enjoy the game with a decent ping?
Right there the new server (one server) will have already an handicap because whereever you locate this new 1 server it cannot satisfy the world ping issueâŚso
How would you fix this if your suggest was to open 1 new server?
Eu isnt that big evry country could play on a NA server without lagging too much. The only downside for EU ppl would be AA builds. But im sure the tradeoff for a much bigger palyerbase is worth it.
There are Pro and Cons for new server i just value a big Playerbase and still hope and think ToS can archiev that. THe Start for ToS was horrible but after almost 3 years its looking much better. Much more Content avaliable now. Im sure alot of ppl would give it a second chance.
Good luck then hope IMC at least respond here for you.
If EU server is already a ghost town as you say, so why not starting there already?
Seems not that different from a totally new server which, in some sort of way, could be described as a ghost town waiting for players tooâŚ

Unless they stop doing these newbie events and do something against bots infiltrating the server, I canât see how a new server will do any good to TOS.
It would mean more costs for IMC with no guarantee that players even come to play there,even if they do an excessive advertisement campaign.
It would be probably better to wait till they have a stable,good new client for the game so players wonât be turned off by bugs and lags/freezes even on good systems.
If they can provide that, a new server would definitely attract a lot of players.
But back to the current servers: the server population is pretty low on average so it wonât make that much of a difference to new players. They will be max level fast, especially with the improved quest rewards of Re:build.
And they wonât suffer that much from upgrading since transcendence is more important than anviling now.
You can never stop bots these days. Ofc it cost to open new server but the goal is to make more profit with new player. I get the feeling that everyone asume that it will just fail.
Its not like i come here on every Patch and ask for a new server. I follow the game even so i didnt play since obt because it has so much potential. I read alot of threads and the feedback player gave/give.
Tos is at a point for a Restart with such a big patch even so they didnt seem to fix some core issues.
Its only getting worse for ToS if they keep doing what they do because new games come out every year like MS2 now which seems to be a succes. I dont wanna imagine how many ToS Player dropped for MS2. Lost Ark launched in korea idk how populated Tos is in Korea but i can see alot of ppl drop ToS for Lost Ark.
Long story short i follow the game and want ToS to be big. I dont wanna play on a Server with max 200 ppl and idk 2 Guilds who are big and rest 2-5 man guilds. Its a MMO for god sake and not a single player RPG. I wanna see diffrent ppl and not the same everytime. I want to enjoy the pve content with friends and see ppl on maps.
If IMC decideds to not open restart servers at this point than they will never do and some marketing would be nice some ads but i guess i ask for too much since this community seems to be salty af.
Like i DEMAND a new Server i jsut asked if they PLAN to realese a New server with this Patch.
And why no IMC staff answer the Thread im kinda against pm or ticket them bc it will only tell me if they plan it or not. It would be better to drop Info on this Thread so other ppl who wanted to ask the same dont pm them everytime.

a new server is pointless, there are more important things they should do first (like better servers in general, fix stuttering issues, etc)
also opening a new server will NOT bring new people, thatâs not how it works
on top of that, if thereâs still stuttering and other issues, people arenât gonna stay anyway
you seem to be salty af, judging by your posts
i donât see anything wrong with the everyone elseâs posts, they all explain why a new server wouldnât help ToS in itâs current state

Its 3 years they wont FIX PERFORMANCE BECAUSE THEY CANT YOU GET THAT??? Or do you think they listen to all of our feedback about fix ur game and they just ignore you for 3 years for FUN???
And i knew someone would quote that part your just predictable.
I joined the Discord and Salty af is on point more than half of them dont even play ToS anymore most of them play MS2 yeah why not go to ToS direct competitor good idea.
Like you, right?
Why open a new server, if after a few weeks most new players leave?
It would be the deadest server ever. Even deader then your eu server.

They did NOT fix the core issue.So I doubt the population will grow
Which is a fully Optimized gameâŚthey fail to deliver so the game will die once they are done making new classes.You are doing PVE end content for what? If the gear you are using is good enough to clear all the PVE content so then whatâs the point in getting them top gear and weapon.
Now people would say its for GVG but how we do GVG if the game isnât optimized. YOU will lag ljke crazy which mz
make GVGâŚwhich make PVE end game weapon and gear uselesâŚnow you see the chain?Moreover GVG is still being test in the KTOSâŚlol
TOS is only good at playing house aka the Sims where all you do is make alts wth new builds and trying to gear and weapons for them all.
At least in the first poplion post issue Kim Hakkyu:
HKK: Of course! Iâm currently focused on client-side optimization. Weâve already completed a few patches which are going be applied gradually to kTOS servers starting this month. Right now, however, the client we use for TOS canât be fixed by changing just one or things about it. It needs to be reworked from the bottom up, so the whole process is going to require a lot of work, and a lot of testing.
Weâre looking at things like graphic engine and other resource management, unnecessary data being transferred in connections with the server, excessive script processing⌠any aspect that can hinder the clientâs performance, really.
I guess they are rebuilding the client (maybe on the side?), but investing into the game thatâs dwindling right now (and so much that they already fused 4 servers into two) in the West and East (i.e. outside of East Asia) makes little sense.
This is the 3rd great change update that prepares the in-game content to be coherent with what is good for the players. None of the other 2 brought along a new server.
This wonât, either, because people wonât recommend the game yet.
If the update indeed fixes all game-content related bugs, thatâs a first step towards performance improvement. I doubt it will bring the capabilities to support 100 players on one screen,though.
Iâd say wait till we got a new client that fixes all problems the game has, even if they have to create TOS 2 for it.

Fixing the performance would benefit them more than adding classes you could tell them as the community that it would be fine not to realese content for 6 month so they can invest into Performance i bet all regions would be glad and accept that but they would never do it because after 3 years its the same story its either they cant or they just dont care. Both reasons are bad.
We dont know how much money they make with ToS but with a little marketing and restart they might double the numbers even thtat would be a succes. I doubt they hit 50k again. With the higher income they might do smt about the core issues.
I just think adding content and doing nothing else wont save you and it seems like the majority of ppl here can live with that. Its a mistake it feels like you gave up on the games future.
But hey at least u guys are concernd about how much money imc earn and what they should not do. It reminds me of ppl who defend moba games.
Why would an old player want to start anew ?
Unless youâre a player who played TOS casually for only like one month, at some point you dedicated time (and money, maybe) in one account, so youâll want to get back to that account.
I havenât played for a year, but I was there since Early Access.
If the game changes in a direction that I like, Iâll replay on my old account. Where people know me, know my name, where I have all my characters, my items, my silver, my Tokens, TP, TP-bought items, event rewards, etcâŚ
I really donât understand why you think an old player would want to start anew. Thereâs nothing in TOS that justifies starting from scratch. You have zero benefits for doing so.
Now, letâs be honest: youâre just a player who wants to try hard, to be âat the topâ, but you cannot do it easily on an older server so you want a new one, arenât you ?
Also from my experience, new servers bring no real new players. Amongst those new players a new server will bring, a huge part of them will quit (which is normal, there are always players who quit), so IMC will end with more expenses for not a huge boost in numbers.
And new players enjoy the experience and help from veterans as well as a âlivingâ server, so a lot of new players join old servers because it is more fun than to start on a new, empty one.
Have you ever played those MMOs with 50-100 servers ? I have, Iâve also worked for them. Guess what servers have the most active and loyal players ? Servers 1-5 (sometimes 1-10). Sure, youâll have a few rare servers other than 1-5 that have a good amount of loyal players, but theyâre never in the top 3.
This is my hope as well. That theyâve been working on it on the side, and want to rework TOS for now to see what âworksâ and then implant it on the TOS #2.
I fear Iâm being too optimistic, but oh well.

what a surprise, responded to my response with a super salty post
canât say i expected something else
wrong, they improved performance a lot when rank 9 came out (and a bit after), however it changed when rank 10 came out
point is, they CAN fix & improve performance, however they focus on other stuff
Anyway, with all the new changes (Re:Build), i think they should have just made a new client, or rather, re-code everything in a better programming language (or a better way, since apparently adding things to the game is difficult because everything is a mess)
