So I'm new to the forums, but I've been playing for about a year. Point is, A.) this is almost certainly in the wrong section so I'm sorry in advance, and B.) I've heard people refer to players as being "In a different shard" or "in a newer shard." Can anyone tell me what exactly that means?

When you start, you are put in arena with other people who started around the same time as you. These fill up after something like 20,000
Your opponents for your arena battles all started about the same time you did. That puts everyone on an even playing field. That is your "arena shard". You will stay with that same group of 2k+ players in arena for the entire time you play.
The same holds true for ships and fleet arena - but that is determined later and a little differently (and is not necessarily the same players as your squad arena shard).
NOTE: if some arena opponents seem further along/stronger than you, they likely spent money (perhaps a lot of it) to advance quicker, by buying crystals to refresh more, by packs to get more characters, etc.

The shard or server your on (this occurs at creation) and is not changeable but those shards are not listed and so players tend to reach out in this section or guilds to find like players on their “shards”
