Karusso (@Karusso03) reported@playnewworld What happened to a 6 month notice before shutting servers down? Oh the player base dipped from 40k to 500 people, crazy how that happened.
-
Maor Dervis (@maordervis) reported@playnewworld Another live service bites the dust

Towelliee (@towelthetank) reported@akitoshaoku @lDkayyl @playnewworld I am a WoW streamer helping out other friends who play NW? Wtf is your problem lol.

Kib (@KiburenKibu) reported@mike_stang @playnewworld "We wanted to give you a chance to play this new weapon class despite its unfinished state, so some bugs and issues are to be expected." I know, reading comprehension is hard.

SystemFader (@SystemFader) reported@playnewworld The massive issue with the game right now is NOT the content for once. FOR ONCE there is plenty of new repatable content WITHOUT daily/weekly cooldowns. However people are tying to gear right now, instead of choosing to participate in the new raid, or catacombs, or even gorgon. Instead they are AFK,AoE farming drops around the map. This has impacted me personally, because it's more difficult to even organize a gorgon (Valhalla), or find a 3rd for Catacombs. Also I believe many playes congregating in several places around the map is why my character animations are breaking when I'm playing. Solution: Create crafting resources for lockable perks on gear. I think it would be too strong to allow 2 locked perks, instead maybe 1. Reintroduce timeless shards, and golden/prismatic scarab. NOBODY is going to spend 9,000 gold on an armor matrix for a completely RNG roll. Instead they will just AFK. #MakeCraftingGreatAgain If people can reasonably roll gear, people won't feel the need to stand around for drops because the cost and RNG is too high for crafting. Also many people have the full armor ingredients sets and trophies for crafting and they aren't needed to roll 730? Why? Those pieces should be desirable and required for high end crafting. (Oppinon) THERE IS SO MUCH good and new content in the game for gearing and few are doing it. It makes me sad. Please consider what I have said. I have played your game from peak popularity to 6k pop. I have seen the good, the bad, the ugly, the dumb, experienced every version of the game and you are so close to new world being better than its ever been. Let us roll gear. Nerf world drops a bit. (Not always legendary would probably be enough)

Andrewshark (@andrewshark91) reported@playnewworld What’s the point of live service games if they just keep shutting down..
-
Rayleightt (@rayleightt) reported@playnewworld We spent real money on New World. Amazon released a major update just 1 month before shutting the game down. That’s not service ending that’s misleading players into spending more. This deserves refunds or compensation. #NewWorld #AmazonGame

Essa (@EssaEssa1210662) reported@playnewworld still there is lagging in the game
-
Enomao (@Enomao86) reported@playnewworld We have to unsubscribe from any Amazon service we have contracted as a form of complaint. And in the reasons section, put closure "New World : Aeternum"
-
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.
-
Shultsy 👾 (@ShultsyPlays) reported@BagginsTV @playnewworld Can we be honest here now that it's over? This was the worst development team on an MMO ARPG I've ever seen. This dev team was garbage the entire time. From delayed updates, DLCs not working for hours after launch, focusing on PvP for an entire year, and 2 DLCs in 5 years.
-
Neakoh ☘️ (@Neakohh) reported@SavvvoGames @JeffBezos @playnewworld This game had so much potential and it was left to die. Years of nothing and a -10k concurrent playerbase on steam isn’t a huge community in anyway…don’t see them giving in to try to fix a game on life support but maybe.
-
Sykashii (@Sykashii) reported@playnewworld We need to fix heartrunes they are bugged and won’t drop nice job 🫡
-
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.
-
Jas (@jasnightmare1) reported@playnewworld When will you solve the queue problem on all servers, including SA?
-
Aidan (@Y0urOn1yFreND) reported@S_Berry_82 @playnewworld All the content is great! It didnt launch half baked. The issue is that the content did not keep people playing after they finished it. Thats obviously very bad for an MMO
-
💵Collect & Serve💵 (@_SleuthSlayer_) reported@playnewworld I enjoyed this game, but the issue was 1000 player servers at launch.
-
TheMightyBaloon (@TheMightyBaloon) reported@LSXYZ9 @playnewworld also the issue with the game have lost visibility isn't because no hype but because it was ******* mismanaged and buggy as ****
-
Kqbleb (@kqbleb) reported@blessedpleasant @playnewworld amazon aint doing live service mmos again. The mmo genre is a money pit unless you monetize like koreans
-
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

Lemmonnnn (@Lemmonnnn13) reported@playnewworld Right after the release of nighthaven? I mean, what ******** are we to do with gold cursed coconuts? This is actually bullshit because I’ve put thousands of hours into this broken *** game and I’ve stayed by AGS’s side since release, only to be betrayed like, this. Wtf man
-
KronoSol (@solariseTV) reported@towelthetank @playnewworld The last update is good, but let's be honest. It was still too little too late. People were doubting the profitability of the game since forever. Tons of bugs and issues went unfixed since launch and still are. The game always had potential but they never did reach it.
-
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.
-
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.

Stephen Parker (@sparker888) reported@playnewworld My heartrune is broken 4eva 💔

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.

Jenn 🐙 🔜 TwitchCon SD🌴 (@jenntacles_) reportedDevastated over this💔 From the player count & hype I really thought @playnewworld was back, my brain can't process this news My heart is broken for the NW team, they really did an amazing job on Nighthaven & didn't deserve this. Layoffs before the holidays are so diabolical

Ringed Paired Knight Greatsword (@UnderOfAll) reported@playnewworld That part of steam that we buy a license for the game Works on here more then It shouldnt. I paid for a game that i will not be able to play anymore If i Want to in the Future. And the issue is that its not steam fault. Hope it comes with some lawsuits to this.
