New server.

[giordanojoele]

Hi. Just joined the game last week, then noticed that a new server would be created. Have some questions:

1)Why was Port Royal created?
2)What is the difference between them?
3)Will Tortuga keep alive?
4)Should i quit tortuga and move to PR?

Looked for theese question here but found no answer. I am a little confused.
TY

1) because players asked for a long time to make a 2nd server on PKO.
2) There is almost no difference, except a few minor initial restrictions that will be removed in the future.
3) Yes.
4) Up to you.

1. people been requesting this for 2 years now alrdy
4. quitting tortuga for PR would be a waste since they will merge in the future at some point anyway

Indeed. We had been testing 2nd server 2y ago. But it turned out to be a real problem when it becomes to `Merge`. So we decided to put it aside at that time and came up with something better.
Later on, we had this crazy `shard` idea and started slowly implementing it. Parts of the system were introduced earlier but not all made into production until recently when we finally launched `Port Royal` shard server.

Why no gem in the mall

I guess that gems in the mall would imbalance the gameplay heavily for the first months. I am not playing on the new server thought, that's just my guess.

Would be too broken for non mallers in the beginning
