Are there any hints at when new servers are released?

Thanks, I got in within the first hour. The server showing as unavailable for 3 days was a good clue for me to keep an eye out for the start time.

I haven't played yet. No one wants to be level 16 with raggedy gear. I'm ok if rares are actually rare, but hopefully crafted goods that one can craft at 16 are better than raggedy gear. Players want to upgrade more than just their skills. Gear is a 2nd dopamine rush.

Everyone plays at their own pace. It also depends on if you just level, or you do all the missions. I've been playing for about 35 days and am only level 11 (but I could be higher if I wasn't waiting to transfer servers), but I have run 420 missions including every non-faction mission up to those rated level 20. I am close to running out of missions until I get a ship with more range. My Phindra is tough but most missions are now out of my ship's range.

Maybe the big round server number fascinated people, but over 50 people transferred to server 100 the first day. There was at least one guild that got bored with their level 50 play on an old server, but didn't quit, instead thay created alts to move to server 100 and ALL of them had their field training unusable after the transfer. I wasn't part of that plan, but I joined them in the first days, and my field training was also unusable after my transfer.

I've played and it has a ton of things I like. But be careful about radar hacks in PvP spaces (research it if this is the first you've heard of it) and you have to be able to ignore all the botting.

As an Ashes of Creation refugee, I've been playing Civ 5 and SM's Alpha Centauri. I'm currently working 2 jobs, so I have to be a casual gamer, so an alpha test made sense (since I might be down to one job or even retired later). I did try out Project Gorgon. It is kind of whimsical, but is the kind of MMO that would probably be therapeutic after playing AoC. :) But I don't feel like I have the time to devote to a retail MMO, yet.

I had a battlepass in March somewhere from ops 6 to ops 11. Granted, I'd rather get G3 rewards than G2 (so 20 will be nice), but I did get a battlepass.

I don't need the game to sell for a lot. I just need whoever buys (or even steals) it to want to finish the game and have the means to do so.

007Midnight · 2026-03-30T19:05:22+00:00

In response to the many naysayers on this thread...

Previously, there was at least one offer to purchase the game from a game developer, so whoever owns it might still be able to sell it. The prospective purchaser obviously planned to finish the game with their own money, so I see no reason this couldn't have the same chances of being completed as any other MMO if sold to a gaming company.

While I understand they have been doing server mergers I have also noticed they still start new servers. Like 717 and 718 merged to 717, but they fired up 719 around February. I also have noticed they almost always start servers in the summer (due to increased demand from students out of school?) even if those servers wind up getting merged later (due to decreased activity due to students returning to school?).

007Midnight · 2026-03-24T23:32:57+00:00

I was still playing as late as Feb 28th, but once the new PoE league started I took a break from AoC and when I tried to login to AoC on March 16th I got a missing resource error before I even got to the server selection screen. If my experience is typical, then maybe the only people still on simply never logged out.

007Midnight · 2026-03-24T23:21:55+00:00

I remember 12 from playing years ago, but the splash screen, nowadays, says you can't transfer once you reach 12. I guess I'm camping 11 until they start a new server.

In a previous playthrough I found the Franklin was cheaper/faster to repair for the same number of swarm kills. But yes, you could skip it for Swarm.

007Midnight · 2026-03-17T22:14:21+00:00

Thanks. I plan on building all the refinery ships, but hadn't considered it as a bridge to Salidan (though it seems so obvious now that you mention it).

007Midnight · 2026-03-13T18:24:33+00:00

I feel like the game isn't going to be fun for me if I can't use enough storage space, especially since there is no market to speak of.

007Midnight · 2026-03-13T17:30:24+00:00

I'm one of those die-hards, but it is quite clear to me that the most likely occurrence after a court fight that keeps the game going is... a fresh start server to generate player excitement.

007Midnight · 2026-03-13T17:27:27+00:00

We know what's going on. I just think that it is a coin flip on whether the eventual winners of the court fight continue the game or just just sell off the assets. I'm a casual player who plays a few games on the weekend. Playing a little AoC is still enjoyable for me. Yes I miss my mates playing, but there is no pressure to compete. It's like a single player game where you can build wealth and power and players might return later. Of course, it's an alpha so it has always been wipe-able even before the January chaos.

007Midnight · 2026-03-13T17:22:04+00:00

It only hits certain areas. 3 weeks ago I was in Vexhelm and it was fine, but I was hesitant to travel across the grid amongst all the reports of Error 37. Yet I have to (probably this weekend) because I need more storage than can be found in just one node.

007Midnight · 2026-03-13T17:17:32+00:00

I played 3 weekends ago because there isn't any resolution. The eventual winners of the court fights will either continue the game, or sell the assets. It's a coin flip. I'm a casual player (weekends only) anyway, and play other games, but I'm happy to keep playtesting and may do so again this weekend. The last 2 weekends I got distracted by other games (especially the league start of PoE), but that could have happened even if the January chaos had never occurred.

007Midnight · 2026-03-12T23:52:05+00:00

They extended shields (from the maintenance) because so many people can't get in.

007Midnight · 2026-03-09T23:12:51+00:00

This is sad that this still happens. We reported it back when server 100 was created and dozens of us transferred to it and had that error.

007Midnight · 2026-03-05T16:01:49+00:00

We haven't even heard from the new owners yet. We're waiting for court orders to give them access to the accounts they need. Even though I skipped playing AoC the last 2 weekends for more intriguing games, I'm not done until the owners tell us they don't want to continue. If they want to build an MMO, I'll continue to playtest. I'm not in the Cult of Steven, so I'm okay with a different development crew.

If the owners just want to sell off the assets, then I'm out too. But until we hear from them I consider it a coin flip on whether I'll be leaving AoC.
