Is NW a good start for someone who never played MMO genre before?

No, try Guild Wars 2 instead. High quality MMO and also can start for free to see whether this genre appeals to you.

Nope, they not deserve this game. DO NOT RUIN THEIR FUTURE.

[Aodan]

Yes, it's different but not as demanding. You can gear/experience it at your own pace. If the systems don't become apparent to you, then there are tons of guides and videos out there to explain things better, but the game is overall pretty intuitive until end-game.

The game has bugs. They are working on them as they arise and make more features. I am at 60 and still playing it has content to do once 60 capped. The cap will be mid game at some point. I like it or i would not still be playing.

Surely NW can only get better through time. But for now it's actually a good and interesting game. Just a lot of people complaining these days.. as if no one can actually enjoy a game anymore.

[Josh]

Absolutely not.

[Kirk]

No

[AlP]

No, you should play an MMO with properly developed mechanics and content, and New World is not a good showcase of either.

[Lord Freedom]

Hard no. This game will put a bad taste in your mouth for MMOs. Play something else like Guild Wars 2 or... god forgive me... World of Warcraft.

I quit at lvl 56 due to boredom. Maybe I'm just a FFXIV fanboy, who knows... Although I do like Lost Ark and am looking forward to the American release.

[Dogtatokun]

No. The game is constantly breaking and getting worse by the day as AGS doesn't seem to know how to fix anything.

[Ironwu]

No. Better bets are:

* FFXIV ARR. Free Trial. Full core game and first expansion. Zero $$$.

* ESO. Minimal upfront cost ($20 or less). Full core game and first DLC. No cost unless you want sub benefits or more expansions/DLC.

* GW2. Very nice game with a B2P model. But core game is free client and no sub.

Good Luck

Depends, if you enjoy doing repetitive and unrewarding things in games, if you like to play with toxic people, if you like to play with hackers and if you liked to be banned for no reason other than existing than this is the game for you. If you don't enjoy these things then I would recommend either Final Fantasy 14, Star Wars The Old Republic or Elder Scrolls Online.

[Drunio]

No.

New World is a sandbox/theme park hybrid MMO that has been having trouble finding an identity at launch. If the developers stick with the game it might eventually find its target audience, but it has a very volatile future in the short term.

Check back in 6 months imo.

Try LOTRO for a rich story, or WoW is easy to get into.
