Generally what you want to do especially as a new player is pick the newest server in your region so you can learn the game. Sooner or later your server will die so you can start fresh on a even newer one with your new knowledge or you can stay on the same one

Hmm, I'd rather start out on a server thats active and has a solid player base. I've played MMOs for a long time, I know this whole new server strat thing they do. The issue here is the first set of servers are 1-150.. so no idea whats an active comm on any of them e.e

s1 is the most active for your timezone, but also make sure u will be able to be on for events for your timezone, some people can't do events in their timezones because of work or life and need to join a different timezone to accommodate it.

I know being on a new server is nice, but better to just ask the things you shouldn't be doing and start on a more populated server.

At least that's what I'd do if I got to do it all over again.

Don't use your seals until level 70 for kage treasure. Don't use your coupons. Draw 10 only from the treasures.

You c*e coupons on something like lucky board though if you are going to use them, so only use coupons to gain power. Only buy stuff through events, but beware there's a lot of *ty events.

If you are thinking of buying something and not sure just don't and keep saving until you've learned the game better.

Join a group early and donate coins don't try to waste a lot of coins strengtning your gear when that money can go to group donations for more power.

Do like the first first chapter of main plot and then start working on Elite instead so you can sweep and try to get ninjas like sasuke kimi hinata guy to 5 stars early on.

^that part is more a balanced thing and you should give priority to ninjas you are goin to be using learn term like sasuke(since sasuke is pretty much put on every early lineup) Work on ninja exam if you not doing 3 shuriken elite then go back to plot and get a lot of exp.

I made a 2nd char on S5 Rock Lee myself and tried to get a char goin there, but now is a pain and doin 2 chars at the same time.

Plus I bought ingots on first char to get jonin and the coupons rebate and on top of that the ninja had a ton of coupons from just saving and I got to use it all on lucky board.

so now it feels meh to go to a new server just because the company is greedy

i like the game, but if sht doesnt get fix then ill just move on sooner or later.

ps: as for servers i believe S51 is very populated

Thanks for the info guys

Thanks for those tips as well @LULxD

The main question for you is: do you plan to spend 500+$ per month? Then you can start in a very old server and catch up in 8-9 months. Do you not plan to spend that much? Then absolutely start in the newest server possible and get full advantage of the first two months because this is not a game where you can catch up to a 5-6 months old free to play wise player without cashing at least 1000$.

On the other hand newer server may become boring as hell after 2-3 months. And 500$ is a bit much i think.
