Whats going on with new world and is it really dying?

[Individual]

I've seen a lot of contradiction on the player count of new world. MMO populations says that 500 thousand people playing new world right now. While steam charts is saying there is 95 thousand playing. whats is actually the truth?

[PlayerNumber03]

Steam is correct. MMO Populations might be using daily numbers, not concurrent.

newworldstatus.com updates like hourly or so and breaks it out by region.

[Individual]

Oh, that's a shame.

[PlayerNumber03]

I'm more curious about daily and weekly total number of players, concurrent only tells so much.

[Kashra Fall]

You sure you're not seeing active playerbase? Active and concurrent are two entirely different things.

The game has a dedicated player base and with the server mergers there are lots of players on the combined servers. Its not dead. its just in coma. Low player count but still breathing. lol.

[Xianxia]

there is no content so people just log in to do the daily gear upgrade however this can only last so long, i already max out most of my stuff so i barely log in because there is nothing to do when that happens there is no reason to play the game anymore.

The game won't die. It won't. But its not going to be known as a good mmo ether. Just another corperate amusement park with addtonal plans to fleech more money from the left over players through the player shop. It will be small and forgetable.

There are other mmo's coming out in 2022 however. One of them(Ashes Of Creation) looks pretty good and as rational as I am, its very likely this new mmo is going to crush NW (does not take much to do this). But do your own research on this title interested, don't just take/leave my own opinion on this.

tbh whoever still playing this, either bought prematurely all the cosmetics or spended a lot gold from GSellers and refuses to take the L

New World is not dying. It's already dead. Avoid watching streamers play. They don't make up the population.

[Latham]

yes its dying

Even Ashes Of Creation is unlikely to be the next big thing. You always set your expectations high for the next big MMO. I've been watching some videos on AOC for the past few days. The graphics are now being praised in the sky via the UE5. It doesn't look much better than New World on 4K. But people now think that AOC has unprecedented beauty just because it's a new hope in sight.
When it comes to gameplay decisions, the developers are also taking paths that some people will not like. Stop hiping MMOs and wait until you can really play. Only then will it be decided whether we will get a really good MMO again someday.

Even at AOC, we will only be able to guess at weeks to months after the release whether the developers' decisions will reach the masses and keep them there.

What I like about Ashes of Creation is that the determination and confidence is there. When was the last time you heard a developer say "It will be the best MMORPG ever"? That to me shows a lot of confidence and they know what they're doing. It's been a long time coming and Ashes of Creation will be the IT factor when it comes out. You don't know tell the masses it's going to be a great game and then when it fails, they'll have ZERO player base. They truly believe it will be a great game because they know what they're doing. UE5 is the future. After what I saw with Matrix, there's no telling what will happen with survival games. Oh man, they didn't lie when they said "the future of gaming is yet to come."

Funcom said exactly that with Age of Conan back in 2008. They suffered from hubris and the game died with a whimper.

Ashes is way to over hyped and will disappoint for that exact reason.

I remember Age of Conan. It wasn't bad to be honest. Not sure what went wrong. I was still stuck with WoW and couldn't seem to enjoy anything else.
