( Cervantez's POV )
Things were much different this time around than what Cervantez remembered in his past reincarnation.
Firstly, in this reincarnation, the new players joined the same server as the old ones and were also given some special privileges that would help them catch up to the old players in terms of levels and skills which was not the case at all in Cervantez's past life.
Currently, the disparity between the veterans and the newcomers was significant, with the veterans having a year's headstart over the newbies, which seemed insurmountable under normal circumstances, however, when Cervantez interviewed a few newbies he realized that the game developers had implemented several measures to ensure that this gap was bridged over the next six months, putting the newbies on-par with the veterans in terms of levels and skills.
