Everyone has a fighting chance
Queue times have been greatly reduced across all servers for the popular game New World, but that doesn’t mean that gamers are out of the server woods quite yet. With many players and guilds scattered across New Worlds various servers, hoping to play together soon, Amazon says transfers are coming, but they just aren’t ready yet.
Corruption portals in New World are one of the few major PvE activities that bring players of all levels together. If you’ve got a weapon and want to run in circles for a few hours, New World has an activity for you. Bradford has spent the better part of three days doing mostly portals for his review, and we’re pretty sure he’s going crazy now as a result. But in a good way.
Have you heard of this game New World? I’ve been playing it semi-obsessively since its release last week. There are so many things I love about it. But there are a bucket-load of things which I believe Amazon must change to improve the experience across the board.
New World has its first update, and while some of the usual bug fixes, quality of life updates, and tweaks are there, there are some adjustments related to capacity issues ahead of server transfers.
War is upon us and Bradford wants to make a spectacle of it all. New World’s set-piece PvP war mode is descending upon his server, and for some reason he wants to make a fool of himself online in front of people while assaulting Windsward. Join in at 5pm PT/8pm ET on our Twitch channel.

On Bradford’s server, the Syndicate reigns supreme. So much so that the Covenant faction is barely clinging onto a single region. Treaties were agreed upon and alliances were formed, but already the dealings of players on his server are giving him flashes of another PvP warfare MMO: EVE Online.
Amazon, continuing to work on New World’s server issues amid huge demand, is also boosting its tool to remove AFK players more efficiently.
New World has had a week. Since releasing last Tuesday, the new MMO from Amazon has seen over 1 million players hit the shores of Aeternum, and has continually broken its own concurrent player count records, hitting over 900K this weekend.
New World released earlier this week, and after spending twenty hours thus far in Amazon’s new MMO, we have some thoughts. Here is our first review in progress for New World.
