Steven The Heathen (@StevenHeathen) reported@RinoTheBouncer @playnewworld And I hope Amazon sells it to someone who can take it over. It had its issues, and there were things I really wanted to see change, but NW has flashes of greatness and there's no reason why this game should go down.

Rickey Williams (@Sensiblelogic06) reported@tcubd @S_Berry_82 @playnewworld They were not fine, you are saying they are dine and I am confused why you are saying that, they were not happy with 8 to 10k players the fact you are saying that is the issue with your argument, mmorpgs will not do well with that low of a base especially new ones

R41D3NZ (@R41D3NZ) reportedHey @dev_katyk @playnewworld can you fix the afk kicking in arenas? I can’t even use shooters stance without being kicked for afk. It’s way too aggressive.

Kamil Wójcik (@kamonke22) reported@DidItMyWayYT @playnewworld bro discovered game as a service xD Should have read the terms of agreement before accepting.
-
I Did It My Way (@DidItMyWayYT) reported@RenewedAurora @playnewworld It's not about the money, it's about sending a message. Either they give the community the ability to host their own servers or they give their money back, just accepting that companies can take **** off you whenever they run into financial trouble is insane.

ProimagensJR 💿 (@ProimagensJ) reported@playnewworld It's so sad to see news like this. My heart is completely broken now.

Michael Taylor (@mikerichtaylor) reported@elonsawankstain @Ayejess5101 @playnewworld The quality of these "seasons" is the issue, not division. The results are also self evident.
-
Jake W. (@BitClownCrypto) reported@playnewworld Avoid Amazon live service/MMO games at all cost.

Brandon 🦅⭕️ (@bswagz88) reported@JexonHP @playnewworld It’s not about being cheap. It’s about transparency and consumer fairness. The devs clearly knew content development was winding down, that S10 was likely their last gasp, yet continued selling store items and DLC with no disclosure that the game was entering maintenance mode. That’s not equivalent to buying a movie ticket — it’s paying into a live service under the impression it’s ongoing. The ethics change dramatically when the service is knowingly winding down. Your argument hinges on false equivalence — comparing a complete, self-contained entertainment product (i.e., a movie or single-player game) with an ongoing live-service ecosystem that’s ending. A better analogy would be purchasing season tickets for your favorite sports team only to find out midway through the season that the team is dissolving the following season and during that next season the team won’t be playing any games — yet you can continue showing up to the stadium to purchase merch and food from the concession stands. There’s no perfect analogy for this sort of situation which is why GaaS are incredibly exploitative.

Ziang (@Ziang85045937) reported@RealLucarioTV @NyceGamingYT @playnewworld Nah not every. FF14 is alive. Gw2 is alive. ESO is alive. Problem is...the game just had too many problems. I played it myself at launch and i bit my *** that my friends kept me over 2 hours so i couldn't refund on steam...it was just not that good...maybe it changed but...well
-
Shultsy 👾 (@ShultsyPlays) reported@BagginsTV @playnewworld What profit? The game made zero money in 5 years? I'd pull the plug too. This was the same dev team the entire life cycle. Same leadership except homeboy left. They had 5 years of free reign from Amazon and failed. That's a development problem that led to a corporate problem.
-
Tony Montana (@evanst812) reported@Kaelon @JoshStrifeHayes @playnewworld Inarguably the best PVP combat in an MMO. Problem is, MMO players generally don't enjoy PVP, and this game was originally made for PvP full loot type gameplay and shifted last minute to theme park. I put around 1k into the game during launch.
-
MMO_Bean (@rdj4014) reported@StanKnight0077 @Robovader123 @playnewworld I imagine those players weren’t actually loyal to the game only to trying go engagement farming when they were talking shite about the game. The game had its issues, but for me personally it was a perfect blend of everything I enjoy about an MMO and was really laid back. I’ve never been a min/maxed or hardcore PvP player though and I noticed most people that I saw complaining were hardcore PvP driven and the type to rush through content and then complain there wasn’t any.

SapTheseCasters (@SapTheseCasters) reported@playnewworld Take WoW for instance. The servers lag when there's a world boss in a zone, the customer support is literally chatgpt, the story was terrible or boring for years, so the endgame progression and collections are the only real reasons it's still going.
-
M0l0k0 (@M0l0k0v3ll0c3t) reported@Vokun_ @zomeisterr @playnewworld Almost every major service game launched in a poor state and is now in the top 25 on Steam. Destiny, Warframe, Rainbow Six Siege, CSGO, Sea of Thieves, No Man's Sky, Path of Exile, the list goes on and on and on.
-
Fellow Platypus (@Fellow_Platypus) reported@playnewworld I’m getting sick of this bullshit now… fix the audio bug where it skips dialogue when confirming next step… it’s an old as **** bug too, how is this not fixed. Utter ******* bullshit.
-
Jas (@jasnightmare1) reported@playnewworld When will you solve the queue problem on all servers, including SA?
-
Bereket Tesfay (@BereketTesfay) reported@npcsolananews @playnewworld Unfortunately.. it’s in that fine print terms of service that they don’t have to give you a damn thing. but they SHOULD! When Stadia ended Google refunded everyone for every game they bought, every month they were subscribed to the service, AND they even refunded hardware bought
-
Kqbleb (@kqbleb) reported@Cheyenesku @ShultsyPlays @playnewworld Lmao the game died like 2 years ago. Nothing to do with corporate when they didnt fix some very very important aspects of their game like m3s.
-
Goo (@Goo_Gurt_) reported@GrumpyPawsTV @playnewworld If they release private servers, I'll fix the game.
-
Nyseetem (@nyseetem) reported@DarkPancakes @TheFizzyMind @playnewworld Have you tried putting your friend in a bag full or rice ? He seems broken :') Ahah
-
sixty7gt500 (@Rupinski) reported@playnewworld Minor Error found: Peacocks can't give eggs. Consider changing the birds name to Peafowl
-
Andrewshark (@andrewshark91) reported@playnewworld What’s the point of live service games if they just keep shutting down..
-
Frankie (@smartassfrank) reported@playnewworld Sad we won’t have the drop of 500 Umbral after the fix. Quickly joining Outpost Rush for next 2 days. ;)
-
Ufiik (@UfiikSensei) reported@666718 @playnewworld We would be ''so back'' if this queue problem were solved, but almost 2 weeks have passed and nothing has been done. It's sad to see such a good game with terrible management
-
cogolloQuemado (@fideosConTuc0__) reported@playnewworld Will you release the base code and server configs so the community can host custom and private servers? It would be at least the best move for players who stuck around and kept buying in-game currency even when the game was empty and broken.
-
YomamaCookGoodFood (@GoodYomama) reported@g0urra @npcsolananews @playnewworld Ive tried 3 times, only have 7 hours, i understand the 2 hour refund thing for steam but I had ever intention on playing the game more in till they announced the sudden halt in the game development and shutting the servers down in 2026
-
Bongglemania | Ottertuber📿🦦 | VtuberEN (@Bongglemania) reportedI think with the announcement of @playnewworld shutting down i'm in a place where im done sparing peoples feelings around it. New world had technical problems but in the end its community sentenced it to death. I played 1400 hours as a PvE
-
BagginsTV (@BagginsTV) reported@ShultsyPlays @playnewworld That's not honest, it's jaded. The engine the devs were forced the use was a mess of spaghetti code (which is what caused a significant number of the bugs and issues) and they had Amazon execs stifling every creative choice they wanted to make in the name of maximising profit. Many, many things were mishandled throughout this game's life, and there is a whole lot of things that could and should've been better, but I'll die on the hill that the core dev team - the creatives, vfx artists, etc and the developers, system/mechanics/combat designers etc, were not the issue.

big research (@bigresearch99) reportedAmazon is going to pay a long term price for shutting down New World @playnewworld - Not just one game, its a long term broken promise. You take money as people build up their accounts, then abandon them. Forget @playtlgame - People will quit/avoid that too. Forget future games.
