MMO I have really enjoyed so far. Granted I haven't played that much MMO games excluding Old School Runescape and giving a try to Elders Scrolls Online and WoW but still this one is a pleasant surprise. Started playing some time after launch and dodged the massive queues that plagued the game for the first week or so. Quests outside of the main story are quite boring but the combat is quite nice although a bit unresponsive at times. Its the crafting and gathering that I find most enjoyable combined with the in-game auction house where one can find massive deals because some dolt dumped all his raw materials way too cheaply and I can refine the stuff and sell it with massive profit. Maybe 40% of my 75h of game time has been spent fishing while I watched League of Legends Worlds on my second monitor but hey someone has to sell fish to hungry people! While running from quest marker to the next I spend more time skinning animals and gathering all sorts of plants and ores than fighting skeletons or ghosts. The dungeons and mini bosses I have seen so far have been fun and from what I have seen from streams the higher level ones seem to be fun as well. I haven't touched PVP yet but despite some problems I think there is a lot of potential there if handled correctly. Special mention to the sound design it is absolutely amazing.

New World review by IC tiou

New World (2021)

Initially gave this game a higher rating, but it ran out of content and it failed to awaken my inner motivation after a few days of playing. Everything felt repetitive and I didn't really figure out why I should cut thousands of trees or mine heaps of rocks. Maybe I'm getting old, but in most of my previous MMORPGs I have instantly wanted to grind my way up to the top and improve my gear etc. Don't know why I didn't get that feeling or willingness this time. The combat felt good and mechanically it was nice. I died a lot when fighting too high level monsters, though. I'll probably return after they update the game a fair bit.See more reviews for New World

New World

Performance has been much worse in the last week or so and since the server transfers were made available massive bugs have been in the game with each patch fixing some but bringing new ones. Still enjoyable game but AGS has lot of work to do.

New World beta hits 190,000 concurrent players on Steam

New World beta hits 190,000 concurrent players on Steam | PC Gamer

It felt like it'd been forever since we'd had a big MMO launch—until this summer. Between Crowfall, Swords of Legends Online, and Amazon's upcoming New World, there's now a sudden glut of them. But of those three, New World seems to be the most popular, judging by the 190,000 players who jumped into its closed beta simultaneously yesterday.According to SteamDB, New World peaked at 190,811 concurrent players and currently has just over 160,000 playing. That's enough to make New World the fourth biggest game on Steam, just ahead of Grand Theft Auto 5 and Apex Legends. It's also dominating on Twitch, where it's currently the second most popular game with just over 300,000 viewers.There are some caveats to these numbers, though. Currently, the closed beta is accessible to those who have pre-ordered the game, but because the beta and the actual game are separate listings on Steam it's likely that some players could've pre-ordered and refunded that purchase just to get beta access. There's probably also a lot of players who jumped in without having to pay any money through giveaways or because they already had access from earlier tests. It'll be interesting to see how the closed beta numbers compare to the actual launch on August 31.Still, New World is looking like it'll be the big MMO hit of the summer. For comparison, Sword of Legends Online has reportedly sold 200,000 copies in the week of its launch—which is still a lot of copies—but has only peaked at just over 18,000 concurrent players. It's a pretty good MMO, though, once you persevere through its boring and repetitive leveling process.As for New World, it's changed a lot since it first was announced. Tyler played it back in May and said that it had become a more conventional MMO than suggested by early looks at its PvP keep defense battles. We'll have updated impressions next week.If you're planning on jumping into the New World closed beta (you can get access by pre-ordering it on Steam), be aware that users with EVGA RTX 3090s are reportedly having their cards bricked while playing. There doesn't seem to be a clear consensus on what's happening or why, but it's something to be careful of.New World's closed beta lasts until August 2. The full game launches on August 31.
