And oh yeah, regarding fresh star servers this was Luxendra's response today:
We’ll have more information this week!

Been back on Olympus for about a week and a half and have really just been dawdling, and I'm still level 33. Leveling in this game is easy. Now grinding out top gear, that's another story.

Have you ever heard of a MMO that down the line made leveling slower? It's a perennial problem, a trap almost that every MMO falls into. With one hand they just added a curated leveling experience to 31(?) and then with the other hand they want you to rush through the entire leveling process.
Some studios have handled this better by having quicker leveling only for secondary avatars, so you have to get one to top level first. But I am not sure if even having two avatars is helpful in NW so that may be a non-starter.
I would have put a bonux XP token for free in the store, so people can use it or not. Or just free XP boost potions, or something like that.

Just make everyone max level right from start, turn everything in the game useless, like the entire world, material, creatures, and focus on war only, also known as Chivalry 2.
Some people will never understand it, because they never player a true mmo rpg, maybe too young, and grew with all crap companies been creating in the past ~20y.
Fresh servers will be dead in 2 months, at the most.

Studios need to realise they can only do so much to please different groups of players, to paraphrase, you can't please everyone all the time.
The fresh start servers will be like this. No character transfers. New characters only.
For PVP I'm sure, but is NW a WOW style PVE gear grinder with ever increasing power levels? Or is more horizontal in nature with different sets like ESO? Or is it in the Asian design of upgrading gear levels (+1,+2 etc.) by applying buffs obtained either in game or from cash shops.
Perhaps related to the trophys everyone is always talking about which get duped?
Thanks in advance...

Closer to ESO than WoW.
And the power level is capped to 625, this won't change.
It's also worth mentionning that the difference between 600 and 625 is minimal.

This is just not true. NW's PvE end game is very similar to WoW's Mythic+ dungeons, in NW they are called Mutated Dungeons.
The difference between 600 and 625 is massive, the difference between 620 and 625 is noticeable.
Within a week or two some people will have used lesser known dupes anyway, then some jackass makes one public, everyone abuses it and they have to shut down the trading house again, like it is common in this game.
Then everyone will ask for newer new servers and the circle repeats.
I'm joking of course.
It's probably only 24 people.
Still joking.
Maybe 13?

For now, the first part is just wrong. You can get new gear you may want in the new dungeons, but it still won't be higher than GS625, unlike WoW which increases the gear level with each new dungeon wave.
And about "massive", we probably don't have the same definition of the word.
Can you explain where the "massive" part is in the following example, for instance ?

That's one of the major problems with MMOs nowadays - early MMOs became big back in the day coz the leveling part of the game was fun. People enjoyed the journey, being able to live as their characters. People would spend hundreds of days in a game, becoming invested in the game, the world, the communities. Then... "endgame" became the standard, and everyone now just powerlevel and rush to the end so they can "do their dailies" and grind their endgame gear sets. They end up "finishing" the game in a week, then complain about how there is nothing to do and then uninstalls, forcing the devs into focusing more and more on rushed throwaway cashgrab content that no one cares about.
What's worse is that as we condition the devs this way we are also conditioning ourselves, making our own attention spans shorter and shorter... This, ladies and gents, is why we have aggressive cash stores, lootboxes, and season passes in our games nowadays.
One thing you are conveniently forgetting in your little "demonstration"... Those are weapon perks, you can NOT have them on armor. You can only have "Keen" on a weapon. So no, you will not get +11% crit and crit damage.
And you will upgrade your items in time anyway, and seriously, getting from 600 to 620+ is dead easy, you can even do it solo, one item per day.
Thanks for the help though... can do better.

I stand by a shut down and overhaul being the only long-term solution, it has been suggested AGS don't want to take the PR hit that would cause which is likely true. If so, we will still be here in another year time with perennial bugs/dupes and the content still being so slowly fleshed out. I would not blame the AGS team for that, running a game and making the changes needed will take years to come.
