It's because almost every guild that owns a town is full of exploiters that ruin the fun for everyone else

If you’ve been following Amazon Game Studios release of their, once highly anticipated MMORPG, New World, then you know that their launch didn't exactly go as smoothly as they would have liked. As we head into 6 months after release, the players that have left the game on Steam in early December have yet to return, which has resulted in over a 90% drop in active daily players since the game launched in September of 2021, according to SteamDB.

Ouch.

According to Steam’s Global Achievement statistics, nearly half of all players, or 48% managed to make it to level 30, which is noted by the “Progress III: Showing What I’m Made Of” achievement, but this drops dramatically to only 16% of players who have made it to level 60, earning the “Progress VI: That It? What Else You Got?!” achievement. Another interesting statistic revolves around the first tier of PvP kills, ”PvP Kills I: Vengeance Granted” achievement, where players are tasked with killing 500 other players. Steam statistics show that only slightly above 8% of players have completed this achievement. New World heavily relies on PvP battles as part of their end game, so at nearly 6 months from launch, one would expect a higher percentage of the player population would earn the PvP-based achievements.

That's a dying game, folks.

Yeah its going to keep dropping, at the current rate they may fix all the bugs and get the game into a good state, in maybe 1- 2 years.

Any new game loses a lot of it's initial players base, it's normal.
The game is far from dead and i really don't get why some of you are so worried about it,
do you work on the Amazon Games sales team ?
No ? THEN IT'S NOT YOUR F*CKING PROBLEM !

Half? Yes. But 70% in 1 month? On a MMO? No.

[Alenfal]

Do they need a plan?

Shelf this with the other obscure MMOs, call it a day, and continue development at a snail's pace.

The Lumberyard Engine obviously works, so now they can splinter the dev group into other projects associated with the engine with more confidence.

I'm sad to see the game go. I really liked it. It would be great if there was more PvE content, but at the same time, I love how PvP isn't not forced like Albion was (what a terrible game that was).

I love the gathering and crafting. Just not enough for PvE players to do. And too many people exploiting combat bugs to make PvP not any fun. And too much imbalance between weapons.

Really? Do you lose the house and it's contents after a while? I thought that it all stayed there but remained inactive until you paid your tax again.

It does? I sort of regret having lost a house I had in First Light. I'll go back and check if I can still retain it. I thought you lose it also.

You lose the perks of fast-traveling to it for free, decorating it (further) and your trophy buffs, that is all. You never lose the house. So if you don't feel like paying the tax then don't, it'll all still be there when you feel like paying it again. And there is no "tax backlog" if you don't pay it for weeks, months etc.
