    This game could have been good, but it just didn't make it. It was fun at first, until you started to see through the veil. It feels like an unfinished cash grab, very repetitive endgame, not very innovative for a new MMO. It's sad as it had such a cool concept.

    Exactly how i wanted an mmo game to look like a third person perspective MMO with detailed and well controlled combat system, maybe it misses some of the mmo social element to it but i enjoyed the game so far.

    It is a great game that no one who likes survival and exploration of worlds should miss, those who score negative are the typical mmo pvp players, they believe that all mmo should be full pvp and only for them, that no one else can play them , the new world is an exception, it's a game that gives the solo player a chance to make friends within the game to achieve their goals, it's a realIt is a great game that no one who likes survival and exploration of worlds should miss, those who score negative are the typical mmo pvp players, they believe that all mmo should be full pvp and only for them, that no one else can play them , the new world is an exception, it's a game that gives the solo player a chance to make friends within the game to achieve their goals, it's a real mmo, it lacks fixes but it's only been online for almost 2 years, there's another mmo that has been online for more than 5 years and still has bugs, if you want a new world to explore, a new world is your world and the best thing is that you choose the step in which you advance, it can be a healer one day and another DPS the next day, just changing the weapons, attributes and that's it.
    you don't depend on wasting time to level up another pj, you just level up 1, time is valuable enough to waste it leveling up 2, 4, 6, 10, different pj to be able to play with other weapons or classes.    … Expand

    This could be a great game but the inventory mechanics and the issue with gold is just bothering me to much. I am constantly full and can not store my items. Not sure why realy every game is using the same annoying mechanic. ( small inventory / storage / weight ) Systems. Also the balancing is just like every mobile game is. Easy at the beginning and you get one shot at the end.

    I have enjoyed the leveling experience, it took my about 50 hours to hit level 60 which is the cap at the moment I am writing this. For the $20 I spent, the 50 hours of gameplay was well worth it. Not a game that draws me in for long periods of time, but I do truly enjoy playing it here and there

    New World is attractive as an immersive and player-driven economy MMORPG that can be playable as open-world PvP and where players can be in constant conflict. However, the failure of Amazon Games in Crucible is also can be seen here, too.

They may have read it, they may    New World is attractive as an immersive and player-driven economy MMORPG that can be playable as open-world PvP and where players can be in constant conflict. However, the failure of Amazon Games in Crucible is also can be seen here, too.

    First of all, I'm pretty sure they didn't consider any of the feedback from players in the Closed Beta and Open Beta. They may have read it, they may have reviewed it, but they did not find it worth applying it to the game. Because, instead of many features given feedback, they continued to progress on the roadmap that the company designed in-house. However, as a game developer company, you are offering this game to players, not stakeholders. To the players!

    It made almost all players happy with the PvP Scaling System in the Closed Beta. Not Level, but just using skills wisely and wise character builds were important. However, they changed PvP Scaling due to a few narrow-minded players who think that MMORPG games are only level-oriented. Now that there is no PvP Scaling or reduced illogically, these narrow-minded fellows, thanks to their high level, are looking forward to taking away the pleasure of players who activate PvP for low-level-only Faction Missions. This is a very sad situation; Imagine it.

    The launch was not as grand as promised; Amazon Games has flooded EU servers from all over the world because (maybe) of the vulnerabilities in their servers and because they didn't release the game all over the world at the same time. Currently (September 28th, 2021), as EU players, we have been waiting for more than 5000 or more people (sometimes less) in the queue for hours... Sometimes the queue never changes! We need bigger servers, not new ones.

    Last laugh combat mechanics... PvE combat mechanics fail incredibly. I’ve been playing MMORPG for centuries (irony), and I’ve never come across such a failed combat mechanic. Stagger does not work properly, some creatures and animals do ridiculously large and irrelevant damage. Bears, for example, are neither staggered nor stunned. After one attack, they make the third and fourth attacks in a row on the second line. These are bears, not boxers.

    First, you should have looked at how animals and creatures in other MMOs work. It was very interesting that you developed such a mechanic, which I can’t even name, while there are tons of successful and unsuccessful examples around. Like Last Laugh, every creature strikes the final blow even as they die.

    Quest designs are constantly repetitive. Extremely illogical and not at all creative. Especially after 24+ missions, you understand this lack of creativity and irrationality more clearly. You interact with the same NPC to do the quest in the same region at least 5 times. The reward is not satisfactory at all.

    There are 4-5 different creatures in the whole game, and all of them were poured into the game by Amazon Games by copy-pasting the whole map, just by changing their stats, as if they were pouring salt on the food. The interior design of the buildings, the interior design of the forts, in fact, everything in the game is copied-pasted everywhere in the same way. I have never seen this much laziness! It's a shame!

    The game is in its first phase of extended open beta, not the full version. Almost everything is broken!

    Now, on the bright side, players who want to "just" enjoy the PvE content of the game can still do so. The balance of the game's content, world, story and builds against PvE looks very good. However, don't do PvP Faction quests alone or even with five friends! Join a Company and do it with teams of over 20-30 people.

    Am I still playing the game? Yes. Mostly, PvE.

    Good luck to you all true, dear and understanding PvP - PvE players!    … Expand

    You can spend days trying to get a group together and it is likely they will be trying something they have no chance of doing because the competent tanks quit out of frustration or boredom. Those that can dps stay quiet and instead go dps. Being a tank is boring and thankless. It is one of 2 classes that cant participate in PVP effectively because pvp has become so divergent that it is a separate game and dps, in comparison with tanks and healers are massively out of balance with them. So they become largely pve classes. But with no tanks, there is no pve and no groups. You can spend days waiting for nothing. Everyone is so bored with minute amount of end game content and the cheap and low effort repetitiveness of the same dungeons over and over and none more so than tanks (in particular) and healers. You could make other characters but the way they made the game is so badly designed that you need banks and banks full of equipment for equip one (Angry Earth Ward, Corruption Ward, Ancient Ward, Lost Ward and PVP if you aren't a tank or healer or just want to do it anyway. Trying managing that lot. It is bad enough for one, let alone two or three classes. So they managed to push enough tanks out that it is no longer viable at all and nothing left to do. It has been talked about for a year and they did nothing to stop it even as more and more left or respecced.

    Not region locking is huge. When you don't have any ability to communicate with anyone else it is making it feel like you are basically playing with bots. That is the number one flaw and it effects everything else.

    I love the world they created. It is amazing. I played a lot of hours but a lot of it I am just farming while watching netflix or amazon to be honest. Though it is nice to have it open and craft etc while doing something else. To be honest, it badly lacks content otherwise.

    On a gaming level. I have literally played almost every online MMO since everquest 1 beta onward and this is the most obviously class delineated pvp game since then. There are pvp classes, and those that are nerfed into oblivion. Unfortunately, several classes are really tedious to play because they are at a disadvantage in pvp (healer/tanks). Yet the game needs more healers and tanks to survive. Because they didn't fix this, getting groups is a real nightmare and I have been through three servers now because they merged following a server population crash. Every one of them you lose friends and concentrates the bot population and off service sellers.

    Massive amounts of different armour sets for each role you play. It is sheer hell and very quickly becomes unwieldy and boring to manage switching and endless managing of your various banks.

    Fortunately, though it takes a huge amount of time and grind, you could respec. ( Most just leave ). It is just generally a massively repetitive grinding experience.

    I do like the style and the graphics, big time. It is beautiful. The crafting is also very broad yet in some ways just not worth it for some skills (armourer). But the content was designed by folk without seemingly understanding how normal people might engage with it or appreciate a forced and tedious grind without new things to do in the end.

    PvP is a stun locking affair and in the main, it is as much down to which class you are and whether you kept up to date with the youtube and so on sites telling you what the current meta is. The focus on ranged is an obvious one and it is disappointing that they don't seem to get that this is a problem as old as Everquest 1!.
    It begins with creating the right sort of build and gear and understanding the skills and builds you are likely to be fighting. But it is not very rewarding in practical terms either, so pvp feels a bit pointless half the time as it is a side show and limited by class and the very repetitive and unrewarding battlegrounds. It's almost like 2 separate games.    … Expand

I played solo and wasn't excessively attracted by the online features. I look at Expeditions and Factions, but I couldn't get anyone into them. It's dull to have a minimum of 5 peoples, and only get two. The fighting is pretty decent with special moves and good upgrades.

    There was the items creation that was kind of fun. Getting a house is something, but you feel like it was an after though. The items for the house are difficult to create. So the Trade options serve has the main store. You can basically buy everything in it. So, what's the point of grinding ? Also the salvage option is ridiculous. It gives you repair parts and money, but no resources. So any jewel you put on salvage gear, is permanently lost. Graphically the game suffers from drawing distance being way too short. You have tons of clipping errors (try turning the camera very fast. Some UI glitches too. They did a winter update and manage to broke their own game. There is a lot of voice overs. They are pretty good. The music is quite good too. Some caverns and towns are extremely confusing to navigate. I wasn't sold on the idea of the fast travel. the way it is done and why some large areas are completely devoted of it, while some smaller ones are full of them. Why isn't there any means of transportation in this game, is a poor decision. The AI is really strange. I don't know if it bad or not, but you will nerve see an enemy flee when you are way stronger.

    Customer Service: I had no problems buying, installing and playing. As for support due to problems, I could not evaluate it at the moment.

    Cost / Benefit: Excellent. You only pay for the base game which has an affordable price, does not require a monthly subscription, the cash store is only for cosmetics and does not sell power-ups or gold.

    Duration of the main story: At the moment it is short but it is expanding with the addition of content and this adds up since it has continuity.

    Relevance of past content: For now it is good since it is a relatively new game and it has great activity in its different areas.

    Reward Gratification: Good. It is always possible to acquire an upgrade or useful materials.

    Approach: Focused on the gaming experience in its two versions, PvP and PvE.

    Class balance: It does not have classes as such. The different styles are in the process of adjustments, currently decent. It has the advantage of being able to rotate styles with the same character for greater versatility.

Sandbox MMO is a cool idea, vaulting and movement are great overall. NW is also very social game and has proximity chat which I just love, that's how the MMOs should be designed in the first place, as massive multiplayer games, not single player. Another amazing thing about this game is the music system, it's basically a guitar hero minigame. Also graphics are overall really impressive for an MMO. And that's about it. Now the negatives. Leveling system is repetetive boring mess, gear progression is tedious RNG grind, combat system is terrible clunky garbage and that's a big problem because this game was supposed to be heavily PvP focused. Speaking about PvP, it's insanely gear focused and progression is terribly designed so you will be a punching bag for geared players until you'll get your own gear after countless hours of boring grind (no ELO or skill based matchmaking). Instanced PvE content is garbage and it's not on par with other MMOS, etc., etc. I could go on an on, but let's be real no one cares. Bottom line is: This game is popping right now on Steam because of the fresh servers but when new players realize what kind of game this is, they will just leave.

They acted like I was getting all this great stuff when I pre-ordered, but I was not. They give you some new skins, but they are constrained. I thought I would get much more by being a part of the beta testing. I will also state that New World is becoming less popular as time goes on and not the other way around. Less and fewer people play this game. Also, during busy server time, I have to lower my graphics settings to remove game stutter. I think gameplay could get old, too, as New World is a borderline hack and slash game. I think the graphics are beautiful in this game and the design is well made. I like the Company system and faction system. This game is inexpensive compared to WoW or UO, which can run into the thousands if played for years. This game has a down payment, which allows it to include lower SES players than other MMORPGs. The market system is rewarding and straightforward. Resource gathering is pleasant, and the storyline is pretty good for an MMORPG. As for character development, there is no ceiling, which is interesting. Even after one maxes out their skills, there is a lot to do.

    UPDATE: I forgot to mention my input latency is unbelievable with this game. I get from 100 - 112 ms, and Ultima Online allowed me about half that amount, 50-70 ms. This considerable lag makes any chance of excelling in PvP obsolete. This point brings my review down to 8/10, still positive because there are many solo things someone can do in the game or PvE.

    The game supports gamers using Discord and makes ample opportunity to socially network with friends, which only enriches the gaming experience. NW supports the opportunity to use Discord through the development and maintenance of a Company, which is a guild. I found a guild that links to Discord, and there is much social input here, making the game a lot more fun. So, it is nice that NW supports this kind of connection through Companies. Because of NW's support, I leave my review one step higher, a 9/10.

    Game in on death bed, bugs, lag, desync, item and money duplication, weapon balance keeps getting worse with every patch, they say they fixed thousands of bugs but with each patch, thousands more are added... I have uninstalled and the game and will never touch it again.

    New World is one of the better MMO games that I've played, and I've played several.

It definitely has its fair share of bugs, but Amazon Games is very quick about patching and does a good job communicating with the players. The combat is one of its best features. Compared to similar MMO games (Elder Scrolls Online, Blessed, Neverwinter, etc) the combat is smooth and fun. Movement feels real. From swinging weapons to harvesting resources. It doesn't feel cheap, cartoony, or arcade-ish. The graphics are awesome. The world looks and feels alive, especially if you're on a server that isn't super low population. The game has huge potential. Now to the not so great stuff.

    Leveling isn't too hard, but it is a slight grind. But if you've ever played literally any MMO, then this shouldn't surprise you. The crafting system needs work. The good thing is that you can potentially craft the best gear in the game. The bad thing is that its nearly impossible because of the way they have it set up currently (trophies, crafting gear, food buffs). The grind to max certain crafting skills is also extremely hard and tedious. There is a lack of good pvp content at the moment. The wars are pretty fun overall, but they aren't really something that happen enough to consider true pvp. They have Outpost Rush, but its really not great, and if you're on a low population server its hard to get matches going. They recently introduced a 3v3 pvp arena mode, and I think that is going to be the first step in a good direction for New World pvp. My one and only true gripe with the game is the lack of content currently. Once you've maxed your character the only thing left to do is the repetitive grind to max your gear score. Once Amazon has added more content (pve and pvp) I really think the game will be great.    … Expand

    In testing most of us realized the game would get a lot of sales because of the name Amazon. Most folks would get bored quickly though.

    The game is beautiful. It lacks content, variety, anything novel or any real story. I got the impression the big decisions were made for money reasons by business people who never were gamers.

If the game had been made by a less woke and more experienced game making company the idea may have turned into something decent. Amazon should stick to delivering products to consumers and especially it's Kindle books. Books are it's roots and what it is good at if it keeps it's political views out of it. Consumer items to deliver is an extension of the expertise delivering books prior to Kindle. Gaming is a whole different business and their corporate business folks know nothing about how to do that well and don't seem to care. All they care about is extracting money and pushing far left politics.    … Expand

    Great graphics, fun combat, some room for improvement in the enemy variety and A.I. but bear in mind, the game has been out about a week. The gathering and crafting is incredibly addictive. The PvP is a BLAST. The ability to truly build your own character is second to none in the MMO market. A bit lacking in endgame content from what I've heard (that's what you get for racing to endgame in a new MMO...) and the leveling content is a bit too repetitive. While this is a drawback, it's hardly noticeable if you let yourself explore, gather, craft, fight over territory in PvP and spend time making some friends.

    Not the greatest game of all time, definitely the best looking MMO since FF14 1.0, best combat in an MMO for sure (unless you like Korean MMOs in which case you may prefer BDO). If you've ever played Albion, this is a lot like a beautiful, improved and more fun version of that, played from a 3rd person perspective rather than isometric.

    Several months later: This game sucks, every update breaks stuff, the economy is ruined, the crafting is pointless, the gathering is ruined (thank you bots and thank you AGS for not caring at all)... This game is awful. I did get about 80 hours out of it, but it's an MMO. I don't feel like I got 80 hours of fun for $40, I feel like I wasted 80 hours *and* $40.

    1/10, horrible awful game with great graphics and amazing sound design. An absolute joke. AGS should never, ever make another game. Ever.    … Expand

You can compete in wars but with a dying player base that is near impossible. 3. good events: The winter event was not terrible but really didn't have much payoff for late game players. The rewards were **** gear and frozen furniture... not anything all that exciting. 4. mounts: Honestly, I hate walking so damn much in this game. Without mounts the game drags on and gets boring.

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

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.

    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.

    I got to the endgame and then they changed the system with a patch that made everything more difficult and grindy. Each patch feels worse than the last. Moved it down to 0 simply because I noticed that a lot of accounts are creating 1 review with a 9 or 10 to try and pull this rating up.

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.

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

    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.
