Being an Eve player for over a decade, an old player from that gaming universe coined a phrase that described the various changes that were being brought forth towards new players but alas became a "law" throughout various gaming world -
Malcanis Law: "Whenever a mechanics change is proposed on behalf of 'new players', that change is always to the overwhelming advantage of richer, older players."
In many ways, I can see how the casual split onto a new server should help newer players, but in the end, those older hard core types will have the overall advantages, especially if the second server lasts for a while. As I write this post, there was already a cleric that made level 30 to level 40 within three days while gaining firsts for many of the "rare" items. Nothing against this player (or players), but do people think a second server will allow another the same benefits? Or will a second server just drive those with a purpose to gain twice as much in the same amount of time?
Just my thoughts from a Blue "toxic" player.
