    Game's population has greatly diminished now in Nov 2021, more than half of the playerbase.

The severity of the condition ofGame's population has greatly diminished now in Nov 2021, more than half of the playerbase. This game needs the very minimum of six months to a year of further development time if the developers aren't intentionally sinking it via very strange counter-productive patches, but I'm now not doubting that this is due to become a repeat of Elder Scrolls Online. The severity of the condition of this game is without question in disaster territory despite the initial popularity and huge promise it had. I genuinely don't think there will be permanent meaningful changes to this game as many of the issues seem to be fundamentally ingrained like copy/paste maps and areas, all enemies are replicated models. It is one extreme game-breaking problem after another, either being discovered or formed. The invulnerability problem and the development circumstances surrounding it is really bad on AGS' behalf as there is a proven inability to foresee a client-based problem that is reportedly very basic in game development and it seems similar problems will occur in the future. There is no meaningful objective to the game or reason to level and build your character like a normal MMO. Questing is an absolute dire experience throughout all progress. Cross the whole map with normal movement speed > kill under-levelled enemies or collect things > cross the map > repeat. The mechanically good crafting system feels nearly completely pointless. You can spend several hours gathering materials and levelling the various crafting skills to create something yourself only for it to be peanuts in the auction house equivalent (trading station). This system is now completely rebroken as of 27th October and has worsened. I spent hours attempting to be skilled enough in level to make a tool myself, never to reach it with such low material yield and then find that you can purchase it for next to nothing.… Expand

    In the 5-6 hours I have played so far: the game emulates an ax murderer fantasy.

    The combat system in this game seems weak. I'm only at the start so maybe it picks up. The game was advertised as having one class. I was thinking path of exile sort of combat skills.

    The combat system in this game seems weak. I'm only at the start so maybe it picks up.

    The game was advertised as having one class. I was thinking path of exile sort of combat skills. As an example in New World you get to drop one lousy totem on a 10 second cooldown that shoots woopty-de-do frost bolts and you have to have a certain weapon equipped to do this. In PoE you can use all sorts of totems that do all sorts of stuff. Maybe later in the game you get gems or something that modify effects and add more depth to theory crafting? Right now it(combat) is super basic. Some of the skills on cooldown are normal attacks that do more damage?

    The aimed throw hatchet passive imo gives enough mid-range combat dynamic with resource management to make the game's combat fun.

    MMO progression? At this stage I couldn't tell you what my character level is. I can say I have enough points in spear & hatchet to use all their activation skills. I think I have two active skills unlocked in swords and shield. I couldn't say what my crafting levels are. I can say I have yet to find a plant that gives me fibers to craft clothes(even though I go to the areas indicated on the map under resource area locations (turns out the starting level area consists of 3 territories and the one you begin in is resource scarce)). I don't know when progression kicks in but it is typically a thing in mmos to unlock new environs or skills or something that one would look forward to.

    It doesn't look like "battlegrounds" begin until the level cap. And I imagine if I get there I will have to go even further to get passable gear. In most theme park mmos it is a part of leveling progression and in GW2 you can go into battlegrounds with a level capped/gear capped character right away.

    27 hours in: wayyyyyy to much farming. If I want a better pointy stick I have to farm for my life.

    48 hours in: this game feels like a court-martial simulation. This notion is premised on the poor integration between the different parts of the game.

    You go to this designated area to pound rocks for a while to level rock pounding and what you use the pounded rocks for. You go to the designated area to thresh plants for a while to level plant threshing and whatever use the threshed plants for. You can go pretty much anywhere to level tree pounding and whatever you used the pounded trees for. Only skinning makes sense since you do it anyway while questing.

    To quest you go forced march to designated quest area and perform solo combat maneuvers then force march back to quest drop off location(this is pretty common in mmos except for the forced march part).

    To dungeon delve you have to solicit in chat instead of queueing in a dungeon finder while reading a book or whatever else it is you do. This doesn't so much follow the court-martial theme but it's still pretty shoddy.

    And this is a court-martial themed game at least until you hit the level cap and do real combat?

    The game dies at around level 30. Crafting levels are out of sync with drops. Questing becomes laborious. Crafting gatherables become background stuff. If this game were shampoo your scalp would probably look like Jeff Bezos's. This is worse than many Korean mmos.    … Expand

    You can't really make a build video from this game, because there are only 6 skills per weapon and you basically HAVE to run certain ones in order to play the game, so youtube monetization is shot.

    There's a lot of land and very little to do. But you'll say: "what about all the crafting progression?" Yes, such progression. You can either set your character up to waste a minute at a time banging on rocks, or banging on trees, or standing in front of plants.

    There is no strategy whatsoever in dungeon play. You have a healer, you have a tank, and you have DPS. Sort of. The healer kites things everyone else just spams whatever moves they have available at the boss. You can't even have a rotation because you only have 3 skills per weapon and they're all on 10+ second cooldowns.

    The game advertises siege combat, but out of a 2000 player server, only 100 can play per day per territory, and participants are chosen by other players. So basically, thanks for the money suckers, and also **** you.

    The storyline is non-existent on multiple levels. First, there's no real storyline. Like, at all. NPCs don't speak to you, (because they largely do not exist outside of major towns), and you can't speak to them unless they have a quest marker above their heads. It's as immersive as an empty tub. You get a new "storyline" mission every 5 levels to unlock a new gear slot and otherwise just wander from town to town to acquire quests to visit villages which have no human life and kill poop-flinging zombies.

    Oh, and you will spend the vast majority of your time gathering resources for the purpose of throwing it down a ****ing hole at the town bounty board to gather a smidgen of XP.

    Want to play that dungeon? You have to grind just to create the key to enter it. Because a game with no storyline centered around the mindless gathering of materials for the purpose of throwing it away needs MORE grinding.    … Expand

    Lack of Russian localization. There is not so much textual information in the game, but nevertheless we do not have at least a Russian translation on release. God, the game doesn't even support the Cyrillic alphabet in the game chat! Russian-speaking players are forced to communicate in transliteration.
    Very poor character editor. Okay, in general I don't mind creating a character using pre-made face and body presets. But how terrible they are in this game ... How miserable are the face presets, hair textures .. What can we say, when the hair textures do not always fit the character model correctly. It all looks like in some cheap Korean MMORPG. Amazon, is this okay? You certainly don't expect this from a European project in this genre, especially from a renowned company.
    Bad, very bad. What we got at the release still looks damp, and I can't call it any other way than "hack-work". At this point in time, I do not recommend buying this game.    … Expand

    What an amateur game. There is nothing interesting, new, or well done in New World. It is a generic MMO with a generic name. You will fight skeletons and boars. There is less than nothing to character creation, the armor is boring, and everyone looks the same. The skill trees are laughably small with a handful of usable abilities and a few mostly useless passives.

    Movement feels like you are standing in taffy. There is a dodge button you are supposed to use, but it only hops you like two inches and half the time you are locked into some animation and cant even use it.

    Ranged is a joke right now as enemy AI pathing is broken for many mobs standing at the top of stairs, and hitting moving targets is subject to lag jank.

    Also, The community IS TOXIC.
    There is this quest to kill this tough bear and skin it. I managed to solo it with a bow and some rando ran right past me and skinned my kill the moment I fired the last shot. Now I couldn’t finish the quest and the mob would take who knows how long to respawn.
    This isn’t fun. That type of helpless griefing with no possible way to prevent it is horrible game design.

    This whole generic mess has one purpose. Greif you. Your bank is unique per city. The auction house is the only way to make money and it is also unique per city. If everyone is in a different town, none of your hard work matters as no one buys your crafted wares. And it costs money to list items. Fast travel is discouraged as it costs a ton of a rare resource and there are no mounts in the game. All of this exacerbates the unique bank and auction house problems.

    It is staggering how badly designed and just uncreative “New World” is.

    This Game really gives me a challenge to rate it.
    On one side, if you can manage to join a server and play it, then it is a good MMORPG.
    On the other side, there are waiting queues of up to 20k people for servers with max. 2k players. Right now, when I write this, the average waiting time for some servers are up to 50h+.

    So: How should I rate this?
    But first here some points from the time I played it approx. 20h and 21 Levels:
    + Really good graphics for a MMORPG
    + Good skill system w/o classes. You can skill and reskill however you want.
    + Skilling also uses Armor, which changes specific Stats. This gives more flexibility
    + Good variety of weapons for different playstyles.

    - In the beginning really repetitive
    - a few types of quest which are always the same
    - Loot chests
    - Kill x Mobs
    - Harvest Materials
    That's mostly it.
    - In your faction, you can select between 3 PvE and 3 PvP Quests. After completion, you get new PvE Quest but not new PVP Quest. They stay the same. Since release, it's the same 3 quests. I did these around 15 times now and this gets really boring.

    I can't say anything about the Faction-War-Aspect and the battles over the areas.

    So, how to rate this? Without the Server problems, I would give this game 6-7 for being a good but repetitive MMORPG which makes fun when played with other people. But even when I'm in the lucky position to have the possibility to login in the early morning when the queues are empty, I really can't keep this out. And seeing people who took vacation for release-week and only wait for many hours just to not even being able to join in the end is absolute **** At the actual state of the game, I can't give it more than a 4.    … Expand

    Queues, long long long long waiting times to get onto the server. Imagine you wait 1,5-2 hours to get into the server, you play for 2 hours and then go to walk the dog. You get disconnected for inactivity. You come back to another 3 hours!! waiting time. Anticipated the game so much, but it just seems unnecessary unfair.

    a score of 2 is generous. it is an under$tandably overhyped running simulator once you defeat the ridiculous queue time with less than mediocre graphics for 2021; anyone that says the graphics are good for an MMO is probably being paid or has some sort of incentive for doing so. MAYBE a score of 4/5 IF the queue's weren't completely ludicrous.

The game never had pve content and because of the backlash in the alpha and beta they decided to put some repetitive kill 10 wolfs quests. So ok their focus was pvp which was broken since you could mass report the enemy and they would lose territories and wars. The whole community has been pointing out various gamebreaking bugs and exploits and basic things that an mmorpg should have. All in all the game needed at least 6 more months in development, proper alpha and beta testing aswel as the management/development team of amazon to actually listen to the community. Now because they dont test patches before release they will rollback servers in europe cause of some bug. This game is pretty much doomed.… Expand

    1) the game is filled with bugs to the extent that some parts of the game (or the whole game) is unavailable longer and longer. Outpost Rush was disabled for a month, Wars now are completely unplayable cause of lag. Servers are offline almost everyday (sometimes twice a day for a long periods of time). Wealth transfer (as well as trading post, the auctuion house) is disabled more and more often. AGS showed they are absolutely incompetent.

    Imagine this:
    - while trying to fix the dupe exploit (gold and items multiplication), they created another bug for duping gold and had to shut everything down;
    - while trying to refund players for losing money because of AGS incompetence (a good deed), they made a mistake in database and gave everyone 1000x refund about, thus breaking the whole economy. They had to backup from 10 hours earlier, wasting everyones time. But this is not all. They broke auction house - people who sold anything did not receive any gold. They also bugged all players who did a transfer that day - characters are completely stuck. So all in all, while trying to compensate players for losing gold, they made players lose even more gold.
    - they did a PTR for their big 1.1 patch. They did not change a single thing from feedback. Moreover, they added stealth changes to live servers that people absolutely hate (making the grind for watermark like x3 longer, like it wasn't already stupid and bad), as well as buff Myrkgard mobs and portals to the extent that 1 mob can now kill 40 people with 1 charge, including heavy HP tanks.

    They don't test 99% of things and screw up. And even when they test (1.1 ptr was the only thing), they do not listen to feedback, they usually don't fix bugs, and when they do, they usually make things worse and create new bugs.

PVE experience is garbage. Mobs don't stay dead long enough for you to explore and as you level up they can just stun/stagger lock you until you're dead. Weapon meta renders most of them utterly useless. Again, you won't know this until you get past level 30. There's no incentive to group up for PVE quests so you can forget about 30 to 40 percent of the quests because they're simply too difficult solo. Even dungeons are tough because people are paying in game gold to buy a slot in a dungeon group, and won't take anyone that can't carry them. I don't buy the positive reviews here because surely Amazon has the money to pay people to write these cookie cutter reviews. Game is bad and they don't know how to fix.… Expand

    Extremely buggy that people are cheating and exploiting left right and center. Amazon is incompetent at making MMOs, they fix one bug creating 5 other bugs that can be exploited.

    Because Governor's can select who goes on into battle its a popularity contest with vast swaths of players being effectively locked out. So slowly one team gains an overwhelming advantage on the server as lowbies and the like flock to them.

    Fast forward three weeks and 3/4 of players quit.

    Game appeared to be a shiny diamond they promised, but at the end they just took money and screwed people multiple times.
    We were promised a product we wanted, while we received totally different one
    From a stable PVP game, that could later expand into PVE, we received just another copy of other games
    in the worst possible scenario. Frankly speaking, "Old World" not only was a lie, but it still follows it's auto destruction path.

    From skill demanding, pretty balanced game(not perfect, but that was a good core to start), they took away most of good PVP mechanics, to please casual players they wanted to bring and use them to get money. PVP players started to quit and it was only worse. When You create a game around PVP systems, and you take them away, you are left with nothing - Unfinished details that were supposed to supplement the PVP part.
    They thought it will be a good idea to put those unfinished tiny details in the center of the game, to get more money from PVE players, which allowed it? Not sure who is worse.

    Many people warned Amazon that their ideas to destroy world will have consequences, and many offered solutions - They did the total opposite and online from nearly one million, landed on something between 120-150k depending on day. Economy is a disaster, game has no purpose and it's boring. It brings no challenge, nothing interesting, no immersion as all the flavors were wiped out. Many systems aren't working and are built to make you grind tons of your time to achieve...what exactly? Better gear? They introduced lately another grind system to that...so your grind will be more grindy now. Each patch the game is getting worse and people are praying for it to have a turn like UO or WoW did, with private servers doing the right thing.

    I strongly recommend to stop supporting company that promises you one, you stick to it for years and then they just wipe the floor with you and take your money. It shows total disrespect to players.

    I can say good things about game of course, Graphic looks nice, sounds of surroundings are nice, but game was a PVP centric, engaging and unique thing with all the flavors built around them. They destroyed it completely so if you are looking for:

    - Smashing your keyboard in PVP to spam what you can in Cooldown+LMB based combat where nothing you do feels anyhow impactful
    - See the same enemies for 90% of your time, with boring attacks, being 0 challenge
    - Grind up to 55 level to find first engaging boss in a dungeon that becomes easy after 1-3 tries
    - Have close to useless crafting with tons of items you need to do to just grind to few usable
    - Extremely boring world after few weeks
    - Team that doesn't give a damn about you and avoid speaking regarding their hypocrisy and players they literally milked out of money and dumped (this should be taken into court...)
    - Multiple tries to see where they can milk you more
    - Typical modern game that isn't about the art, but rather about objectives you need to do to play it(so you grind, grind, grind grind and they will add more grinds so you can play more and eventually buy that skin or two...)

    Then this is your game!

    Old World - Where everything that was fked up in games for past 5+ years, was tossed to an island called Aeternum. where you have landed by accident and need to survive this and get out!

    Generally, it's a disappointment, just read their forums, game is a mess and team doesn't even bother of talking to people, they use PR type of statements. It's comparable to movies - You can for sure make your oscar winning LOTR...But you want to play political or get money and you kinda fk up that GoT or Witcher...

    I want to point out - I was there nearly since start and I was playing till last month, I had nearly everything and explored nearly all. I didn't talk about bugs, or tons of problems they had from start till now on purpose, because if the game would be good, people would be with them anyway, despite those issues...but they are not.

"Early" in the case of New World is more akin to Agile/Scrum development's "Minimum Viable Product" concept.

    Heavy heavy nerfs to crafting and progression
    I could go on but you can watch numerous videos on the disastrous game for more info.
    In other news players are wanting developers to play through a high end area of the game that they heavily nerfed to be totally unplayable as players not in your group can easily grief your party.
    Hilarity will ensue if they actually play this on a live server.

The devs impletemented a public test realm, then do not test things and ignore player feedback. The level of dev incompetence is laughably horrible. They are hemorrhaging players and thought the solution was to make the game take 6-10x longer than on release to grind out endgame content. So have fun spending months futilely working to achieve what the first wave of players got in a couple of weeks. Also, a destroyed economy from one duping issue after another.

That dumb mechanic is almost on every crafting in the game. To make lvl 5 items, you need thousands lvl 1 items to be able make it.

    About the inventory. The Inventory system in this game is based on weight which is just bad. Everything I start the game and try to loot or store my loot, I just can't because all my storage has reached the weight limit. I immediatly get frustrated and disconnect from the game. Amazon also gives random bans for no reason at all. You wrote a word someone didn't like it? he reports you and you get the ban. You are standing in the city and someone just is bored and reports people for fun ? Yes you get banned. I am not sure if this is still a thing but it WAS a thing as I Played this trash of a game.

    Bugs are not getting fixed. Bugs day one are still in the game. You have only 2 Character slots. Inflation in the game is just unreal. Why MMOs suffer from the same illness. Why devs never set a cap to prices of items. Like Long Sword min. price 10 gold and max price a player can set 50. This way you can not grow inflation in the game but not even 1 game has that mechanic.

    Ballancing is just a joke, there are Light, Medium and Heavy armor. If you don't play Heavy, you won't survive for long. Even as a tank I received damage that I felt wearing Light armor. Also an illness in all MMOs, the Tank class. It's just another joke. I don't know why they keep calling it a tank class when it just can survive 1-2 more hits.

    Dungeons are a joke. I don't understand why dungeons have to be trash in EVERY MMO. The lvl 24 Dungeon is fine but after that one, any other dungeon is trash. You are even forced to do them since there are main quests with dungeons. You even need keys to be able to make a dungeon. People with ideas like that should not be allowed to make games.

    Walking Simulator, this game does not have mounts. You are forced to walk all over the map. There are teleports but they are crazy overpriced. You can get 1000 Azoth but 1 teleport with full inventory can kost around 500+ What kind of idio.... made this system. I've tried almost 300 hours to play the game and lvld as slow as possible because the repair cost of items is also totally overpriced which is another an illness of MMOs. My repair cost was higher than I got gold back from quests. 1 Quest gave around 30-110 gold and repairing my whole gear which is 10-30% damage, repair cost 180 gold. This game could be the best MMO but all these negative things, just made me uninstall the game. It's just to frustrating and stressfull. Also this game is focused on PvP like all MMO games are. There are no PvE MMOs out there which is sad.    … Expand

    And they don't provide you with a free token to move your character to a less populated server.

    the time sinks are just too many and too much. crafting is my biggest gripe and the lack of end game pvp and pve.

    i dont like how they did crafting. need t1 to make t2 and t1 and t2 to make t3 stuff f-ing lazy and stupid.

    - TL;DR - New World (right now) is like living with a girlfriend that looks very hot (great graphic) but cheats on you and even tells you sometimes (broken, buggy, exploitable) not to see your reaction but just because it's too obvious for her to try to hide anymore.

    Been putting in more than a 100hrs, not gonna say I didn't had fun for a while but MMOs are about constant progression,    - TL;DR - New World (right now) is like living with a girlfriend that looks very hot (great graphic) but cheats on you and even tells you sometimes (broken, buggy, exploitable) not to see your reaction but just because it's too obvious for her to try to hide anymore.

    Been putting in more than a 100hrs, not gonna say I didn't had fun for a while but MMOs are about constant progression, sense of purpose and growth in a digital world, but right now there's none of those things.

    Economy (and with it all that concerns gathering because all materials are procured by the players) in itself should be at the basis of New World, as well as gathering, doesn't matter tho when there's a Gold exploit that makes it irrelevant.
    PvP would be another pillar of New World if it wasn't for another exploits that Everyone that wants to win uses (not gonna go into details you can pick that up for yourself) and I'm not talking about duels and stuff, altho you could use it there too, but mainly the big guild vs guild wars in the endgame. And I believe up till now AGS haven't even addressed it.

    This is just the tip of the iceberg btw, not gonna bother list all the problems this game has right now, and besides 5k characters would probably not be enough.

    Before I said I had fun, where was the fun had you ask? When you put some music or podcast in the background and go gathering and questing and you're none the wiser to these problems, but what would that make people? Mindless drones that AGS is all too happy to squeeze dry to boost the game popularity and their wallets. I've been there and I regret it. And I genuinely wanted this game to be good and to have fun but this is insulting.

    If you want to turn your brain off and go up to Lv 60 be it via questing, gathering or whatever it's perfectly fine, get back your moneys worth, but Right Now, it would be pointless. Because the economy and the game itself is so broken that only a rollback to the servers would fix things But, there's a lot of servers and a loot of people playing in all of them right now and I don't think they'd ever bother with it, they made their money already.

    Maybe changes will come, maybe not, maybe the game will survive, maybe not, but RN, maybe just get to Lv 60 as I did and uninstall and Hopefully, one day it'll make sense to play it.    … Expand

Due to New worlds insane power spikes 30-60 volt +. card can no longer run any games now PERIOD. have plenty of pictures of the main board of the GPU.

    Now I Don't want everything in this review to be me just bashing the game, Because the time i did get in the game was really good. Really liked the game play, the grinding,combat system, graphics, as well as the over all the feel of the game. Made it to level 45 with a loads of skills. and nothing but excitement for high level expeditions, skull zones, and areas.
    i obviously liked the game or else i wouldn't have had 144hrs into the game..

    HOWEVER: Now if you asked if i would recommend this game i would have to say NO. Due to the fact that i cant guarantee anyone is safe to play this game without the risk of compromising/breaking their hardware. In a time that computer components are near impossible to come by and if you do find parts you are forced to pay double if not triple msrp. Due to scalpers.

    IN CONCLUSION: YES i enjoyed the game. just super frustrated to be forced to stop playing cold turkey. with no chance to even play other games on my computer anymore now.. so no i cant i clear conscience recommend a game that has claimed many number of cards. be it software from the game, or caused by the hardware. wherever the fingers get pointed. Unless we get a hook up on another GPU or find one at msrp. My time in NEW WORLD has come to an unfortunate abrupt close.

You can't really play it in any meaningful way until level 60 (the max level) and even then unless you want to sign up with a company plan on only doing half of it as the wars are only for them. Enjoy a game that they say is not client side but up until recently allowed duping and invulnerability by putting the game into windowed mode and just slightly moving the screen. Have fun cutting down literally tens of thousands of trees to level your lumber jacking skill to have a crafting system that is only important end game. There is no reasonable way to make any gear as you level up as the materials are so rare the the skills level so slowly in comparison to your rate of growth that you will just buy gear or find it off mobs. Take a look through all the different armors and builds you can choose from and then only use heavy armor because the damage buff you get from light armor doesn't scale faster then the armor growth. The healing buff from light armor actually just doesn't work either. Play through the story with any character you want but know if you choose anything but the high DPS weapons you will do it way slower. Still not a problem till you get to a story mission that is a boss locked behind a wall that no one but people with the quest can pass. Once again not a problem except that he constantly heals. I hope you are not playing solo healer as you physically can't deal enough damage to kill him.

    TLDR: So if a game where you can't play the unbalanced PvP until you get to max level, there is no armors viable except heavy, and you want to spend literally hundreds of hours doing menial gathering to get to the point it is usable, then this is the game for you.    … Expand

    Best looking MMO on the market. And the sounds are FANTASTIC.

    Beside that, „ a mile wide and an inch deep“: More grind than any Asia grinder, complete ignorance what players want, abyssmal communication and support, most buggy code fundation ever - really amateur time. If AGS invests another year at least, it might become worth your time.

    AGS seems to put no thought or care into game updates and it is on a downward spiral and getting worse with each update.

    It's a scam! It really is that simple. They released a game that was not ready to be released

    It's severely lacking in content, it's completely lacking in optimization, there's too many glitches to list (and when they try to fix them they tend to break things in the process), promises are not being kept by the developers, the quest design is archaic and formulaic, and overall the game is way too heavy on the grind for its own good.

    This game is a rushed copy & paste job from start to finish. The developers have no clue how to create and build an exciting and enticing game. All they did was copy and paste the same locations, enemies and quests over and over again and call it a day. PvE content in this game is laughably bad and lacking later on, PvP is completely unbalanced and makes no sense in lower levels, craftingThis game is a rushed copy & paste job from start to finish.

    Combat is awful. Animations tend to be long and lock characters into them, move them around, and generally cause problems for placement. PVE gameplay tends to be repetitive. Crafting is okay since there's plenty to gather and make, but selling anything produced is a challenge. Group combat has collisions between group members so it's terrible combined with the animation locks and forced movement.

    An MMORPG with great potential - but there’s so much work to be done. It is, however, already highly addictive for those who are patient and forgiving.

    New World is an mmo that could be straight out of 2010. It hardly adds any new ideas to the genre and therefore feels dated in content. The faction system offers interesting possibilities for wars between players, but is not yet balanced. New World demands a lot of time from its players, but does not actually give anything in return that we have not seen before. Graphically, everything is fine, and although the game has microtransactions, they are only of a cosmetic nature. There is no subscription: for the entrance fee, the entire base game is open to you.

    New World is such a large MMO that we will have to spend our time in the vast world of Aethernum. While some mechanics or functionalities don't have much of a place nowadays, it has other things that seem to me to be genuine and cutting edge in terms of massively multiplayer online development.
