    I'm just curious if anyone else here is interested in playing it at release, if so, which region will you be playing =)

    (The Beta had EU, Asia, Oceanic (Sydney, AU) and US East and West regions available)

    I've been playing on and off on several different closed beta's for the last year on this game... And have mixed feelings about it.

    It truly is a beautiful game with great combat, story, and crafting mechanics. I've seen it come a ways from the beginning, but the last I played it (just a week ago in one of their last closed betas) I found the character customization wasn't very in-depth for an MMO coming out in 2021 which for me is huge to make a connection to my character. In comparison, STO has way more character customization than New World. Additionally, I'm not much of a PvP person and would rather enjoy the PvE content while still grouping with others enjoying the world.

    Wil it be worth it? Will it be a success?

    I'm not completely sure, and find myself going back and forth whether to actually purchase it for the launch or wait to see where Amazon takes it first.

    I've been playing the Open Beta last night for a few hours and must say, I really enjoyed it so far and have just pre-ordered it.

    Although I've had to travel for 20 minutes to get to play alongside the friend I started with, because it puts you in one of a few different starting zones...

    The game looks beautiful and I enjoy the crafting system. Gathering feels satisfying - I loved Runescape and can see similarities in their decisions around skills. It also looks and plays similar to Valheim although as I'm only level 11 that will probably change as I experience more of the game like PvP.

    If you're grouped with other players and nearby then PvE kills etc. count towards a quest if you're on the same one. I haven't seen anything to do with sharing quests amongst group members if they haven't got it, but admittedly haven't looked. Considering it took a while to travel to my friend, for an MMO we've not had that much interaction yet.

    The character creation was ok. I felt it had enough customisation to get a character I was happy with. That said you can create some horrific monstrosities so I look forward to FrankenCreatures the playerbase will come up with!

    I'm on the Thule server in the Central EU region, and the Marauder faction (because guilds, called Companies, are tied to both server and faction).
    You can change your faction every 120 days. I presume it's free to do so.

    Will I get enough gameplay out of it for what I've paid? Definitely.

    The only problem that I have with this game (and others may have) is that with a high latency the game is not very playable/enjoyable, which puts playing on different regions to play with friends somewhat hard and interesting.


    I'm just glad they have AU servers for the game so I can play!

    I've been on this quite a lot recently with a few friends and we've been really enjoying it. Haven't tried any of the PvP yet, and our faction is the smallest one on our server so we only hold one territory. I'm waiting until they offer server transfers to see whether to move to a different server.
    Currently we're on EU-Central on Ophir.

    Makes me sad I have to recruit or find a group to play with because latency does make it unplayable. But glad you're having fun like I am!

    This is something I wouldn't mind trying, but the buzz I've heard about the PvP being so heavily integrated is putting me off somewhat, I've never been a huge fan of PvP and typically only engage in it in other MMO's if there's simply no other way around it rather than because I want to. With it seemingly being front and centre in New World, I just have a feeling it's going to irritate me very quickly.

    I wouldn't worry about PeeVeePee to much, mostly to do with territory control and such, hasn't bothered me yet (just taxes on stuff if your faction doesn't control the area will be higher)

    This - Myself and few friends are around level 30-40 without having gone near PvP.

    The game seems shallow and repetitive at times, but I've found that doing different things and changing regularly e.g. go for a few quests, do some crafting in town, level up a couple of gathering skills, run a dungeon etc. seems to keep it fresh enough for me so far.

    PVP is manually enabled/disabled by the player - I have a lvl 35 char that has levelled through PVE only. The game is a lot of fun so far, chose a low population server so no queue-ing issues so far...
