In an effort to create a more balanced economy, Transport Tycoon will move forward from a fresh database. This server has no business tiers for example. Continue reading to figure out more details and find instructions on how to connect to the server you wish to play on.

Where are my stats

Your old stats are now saved on the Legacy server.

Verbatim quote from Collins (Co-Owner of Transport Tycoon)[1]

"Hey @everyone as some of you may have noticed the pinned server is no longer the legacy database and the new FRESH database has taken over it's slot. The reason for this is simple legacy wont be receiving anymore updates, you can feel free to play and enjoy the server in the state that it is in but nothing further will be added. If you wish to experience all the new stuff it can be found on the FRESH database, existing players will keep their old id and new players will still get new ids. Now you're probably asking yourself "why?" and ill explain, over the past 2 years I've thought of many of ways in which to restructure the economy to reduce how inflated it is. Yes of course I coulda just removed business tiers but then all the new players would be stuck in an economy built around business tiers that no longer exist and the rich would simply stay rich. So in the end I decided that it would be best to start over a clean slate while leaving the existing players who enjoy the state of the server to continue to be able to enjoy it, and for those who want to start a new may do so on the FRESH server. overall I do believe this is the best decision going forward as I've not found a way in which i could balance the legacy server so that new and old players could enjoy it equally."

In a nutshell

The old Main server is now a Legacy server that no longer receives updates. To start fresh and continue with updates to come, play on the new server. This is in an effort to create a new balanced economy. You can continue playing on the Legacy server if you do not want new updates and want to continue with your old character.
