  @bswagz88 @playnewworld This game still had a healthy player base. The issue comes down to Amazon owning it. They have no idea what they're doing in the gaming space and they're soulless, only looking at cost/benefit. Now that tech is cutting fat, it was inevitable the floundering game division would be cut

  @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

  @GrumpyPawsTV @playnewworld If they release private servers, I'll fix the game.

  @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

  @NWGameStatus @playnewworld 2nd night trying to play and the queue times ruined it for me. Players don’t want to wait 3 hours or longer to play. You guys have to fix this. Why spend so much time and energy developing new DLC just to let something as basic as server capacity ruin your hard work?

  @playnewworld For us aussies Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), digital games must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and match their description/promises (e.g., ongoing live-service MMO).If a shutdown makes it unfit/unplayable contrary to what was promised, it's a potential major failure → entitling refund/replacement (overrides "no refund" policies).

  @playnewworld Honestly you had a great game, could have kept it going if you adjusted the monetization model. Live service games always have me worried about bug companies just walking away.

  @playnewworld Get on the horn with Papa Bezos and work on giving all of us a refund. I'm sure that was the plan since you've removed the game for purchase and are completely shutting the servers down, right? Only right that you do so. Do the right thing, not the profitable one.

  @playnewworld Absolutely insane. Sure the game had issues and you lost a lot of players with those dumb server queues and the initial bugs, but shutting it down after this very good expansion...stupid.

• 
  CptShooter (@CptShooter) reported 19 minutes ago

  @playnewworld The game had its moments. But the persistent failure to acknowledge the game's major systemic issues and the reluctance to fix them killed it. The constant creation and merging of servers instead of system overhauls was just one of the things that turned me off.

  @playnewworld Anti consumer move. It should have left behind an offline mode. Time to sue all these live service companies

  @playnewworld I still remember when they wanted to sell the game and promised ten years of service...

  @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

  Karusso (@Karusso03) reported 22 minutes ago

  @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.

  Brandon 🦅⭕️ (@bswagz88) reported 26 minutes ago

  @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.

  @playnewworld the game should remain online. without updates, patchs, fixes anything. maybe gm service's but from volunteers. under staff management. this is why the "stop killing games" started. new world IS a good game. just no one listened to feed back and did anything. (so it felt.)

  @NWGameStatus @playnewworld I don’t know what you broke but please fix it, haven’t had any issues with lagging in months and since this last ‘maintenance’ I’m literally teleporting and lagging every second! The game is literally unplayable and no it’s not my connection I have wired gigabit internet 🤦🏻

  I Did It My Way (@DidItMyWayYT) reported 39 minutes ago

  @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.

  Shute (@FemboyShuta) reported 40 minutes ago

  @DidItMyWayYT @playnewworld problem is no you didnt "buy the game" you bought a "license to play the game" and it would have said until services are taken down

  @elonsawankstain @Ayejess5101 @playnewworld The quality of these "seasons" is the issue, not division. The results are also self evident.

  akito (@akitoshaoku) reported 43 minutes ago

  @towelthetank @lDkayyl @playnewworld The "problem" is that you and others are going ham on "This shouldn't have happened, the game doesn't deserve this" but then you do nothing to help it beyond the petition equivalent of "I'm rooting for you!" Very disingenuous

  @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.

  I am gutted, deeply sad and in a state of grief. It feels like after 1.7k hours like i've lost a friend. i met amazing people, forged friendships and had many laughter. I assume a live service game does not work anymore, Much like most MMOs. @playnewworld

  Amazon 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.
