On the 15th of September 2022, Kakao Games and XL games released and new Fresh Start server for each region with the purpose of mitigating the gab between veteran and new players.
EU Server : Arcadian
NA Server: Stormraw
The details of these new Fresh Start servers can be found here : https://archeageuc.playkakaogames.com/news/1334?lang=en
Taken from the above link:
''Unlike the previous fresh start server which had limitations in terms of content and character growth, the upcoming fresh start server will have everything available when it opens. MMORPG's with a long history always face the problem where there is a big gap in growth between the new players and the existing players. We are trying to bridge this gap by providing various growth rewards through major content and events exclusive to the new fresh start server. You'll also be able to obtain at least double or even triple the additional XP, Conflict/War/Siege/Quest Honor Points, and Vocation Badges while the server is running.
Many also requested improvements on ways to obtain Manastorm Crystals in ArcheAge: Unchained. For the upcoming fresh start server, you can now purchase Manastorm Crystals using Honor Points, which you can obtain naturally as you play ArcheAge. In addition, you'll also be able to use Honor Points in new ways you haven't been able to use before in other servers.
Lastly, we're aware of the feedback you are providing about the amount of daily and weekly content in the game increasing as we continue to update the game. We're thinking about mid to long-term improvements we can make, and some of these have been introduced on the update on May 15th. Of course, we'll continue to make more improvements as we update the game in the future. To address one of the feedback about the daily/weekly content not being as rewarding compared to the effort you put into the game, we are adding an event exclusive to the fresh start server where you can get double the rewards for the weekly quests. This will be introduced to the weekly quests which are key growth areas of the game.''
