Background:
After moving the game from the old server onto this new one, due to the bug as most are aware of, we began repairing broken tribes - compensating tribes for lost goods, military and acres. During this a number of top alliances asked for a complete reset of the game. Because of this we asked the question "should we reset age 10?".
A time later and after discussions in the new World Forums, it became clear that it was not a reset most wanted but a 3rd option - to set up a new server with resets after each age.
Now after we have both considered the player votes, and the arguments against and for (in the "Pro's and Con's"-thread) we have come to these conclusions:
1. A majority of votes are for a new 2nd server with resets
2. The heaviest arguments are against resetting age 10. Most of all, it goes against our idea with no-resets and will take roughly 3 ages before the game is balanced yet again.
3. A majority voted NO for reset + YES for new server (~90 votes combining these threads against ~50)
Because of the above, our decision is to announce age 10 as usual, and introduce a 2nd server soon after age 10 has started.
Thanks everyone for their time and votes.

So do you have like an aprox. date of when the new server will be up and running?
Martel, November 2007
It'll be announced but we're aiming for one week after age 10 start. (Age 10 start soon to be announced as well together with the game changes.)

@concrete - it's basicly another game. You can play both if you like. As far as I know the specifics for origins are still being worked out, but there will be a:
250 acres start. Less resources from start.
48h protection period
20 tribe alliances
Resets every 6 weeks (so no dying from age).
