Top guilds have high powers to sail with and will reduce your chances of getting sunk, moreover these are experienced players you can learn from. But back to the main idea. If you didn't succeed on s129, then what is to say you will do any better on s130. You need to learn to build a toon first. Ask questions, lots of questions of top players, and you will learn which champs are good to spend resources on and which are a waste of time. This is what I did by trial and error. I joined one top guild and then another top guild, etc... And learned different things from different guilds... How Maria works, why Queen P is the single most important toon to build early, the importance of champs like herja, flavius, calvin etc.


We have people under vip3 in the top 12 of some of the servers I play on. Yes, they played from the start of the server, but they also joined guilds with experienced players to learn from. And there are plenty of guilds on older servers with experienced players to learn from. That, as I see it, is the biggest advantage of joining an old server. Then, when a new server does come out you will be prepared to build your toon with a bunch of knowledge that you did not have before and you will play better. For example, the gap between the inexperienced players on the server I started on, and the experienced players is a wide chasm. The inexperienced players main really strange formations like Valla, Knight Gawain, Shayd, Princess Andromeda... Many have played from the beginning and have less than 10million power after 6 months. A new server will not help these players. In fact, the first few weeks of a new server is complete chaos usually, makes it a hard environment to learn in, as everyone is busy powering up.
