AnnabelTamara Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 This might be a stupid question, but apart from reading all the kill list which will take time and be boring, is there an easy way to tell when joining a server if it is legacy or not? Xbox player by the way, if it makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shann112 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 On PC u can set filter in the server browser: favorites, lan, legacy, official and so on. Should be the same on xbox, i guess. To be found at the bottom left corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawOrange Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I was one of those people who didn't know and joined a legacy server. Had I known before hand, I'd of rerolled onto another before having spent a month. Common sense disctates that they should have notifications, but I'm going to assume that they'd otherwise prefer people to accidentally play on legacy, especially new players who don't know what playing on legacy entails, to relieve the newly crowded official clusters of more players perhaps. Something along this line is the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shann112 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Sorry, didn't read the OP correctly... indeed, a notification ingame would be really excellent. Especially for new players who don't know how WC is acting and managing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something along this line is the truth. Me and my small tribe too. We joined The-EU-Official-264 on nitrado PVE server after losing everything on a PVP server and spent a long time building things up. It was only because someone hosting a non-official server posted a message in chat trying to entice people to their server that made me check the forum. Its a shame really, the 264 server regularly topped the legacy server list with a 5-10 player base on weekdays and 12 to 20 on weekends, plus isn't plagued as much by banding and the large number of tribes on the small amount of official non-legacy PVE servers who build over resources and mark out potential building areas with huge amounts of pillars to stop others from build there. We were considering moving everything to another "non-delete" legacy server, but being as I think they plan on removing all of them in the future there is not much point and after the amount of work put in, none of us have the time or patience to start again on a hoarded official non-legacy server. In case of this happening again, I think they should put Legacy in the server name so people know that there is a chance it will be deleted in the future. But I think that's it for me wasting my time in some virtual vicious cycle of building stuff up to lose it again when I could spend it better exploring the real world.
