Do you remember the queue times in 2021?....get prepared people.

A massive wave of players will come back, just mark my words.

Maybe, we'll see.

[DU HAST]

this game is dead forever and no one is going to buy this trash , just mark my words.

[Nnilsamoth]

That's pretty optimistic of you.

[Alenfal]

That seems to speak more for NW’s poor server infrastructure than player excitement lol.

My bet’s on more AG shenanigans if they have to start juggling servers again.

Mounts seem like a really big deal for a bunch of people, and with all of the ACTUAL changes, may have to open up some additional servers, it's been a while since we seen that.

that's because you are all losers and instead of keeping a game unique without mounts everyone cried for mounts which the game really didnt need. there are about 1000 games you can play that already have mounts. its a shame that this 10yo-30yo generation is some abysmally retarded and dont have a clue about good gaming.

Ain't no one coming back in mass except bots.

U must have a Copium truck parked out back or something - u might be delusional
that was free, this is paywall

im wondering... if we're down to like 4 servers in US or whatever, and they must've moved all accounts to them servers ofc, but they cap at 2500 players... say if ppl actually did come back.... uhhh is the que time gonna be days? since all accounts are at this time moved to these 4 servers....?

2500 players can be handle fine by the servers without having extremely long queues. I don't think that would take days lol, probably minutes under pretty active conditions.

Very low chance it's gonna gain back its population, even the previous big patch for the desert map only brought back 100k players (concurrent) and that was FREE.

I would say this one has the same scale as the desert map update quantity wise (new gearscore, new progression system, new zones, new monsters, new dungeons, etc) except this one comes with Mount system and wait for it... PAYWALL.

If a year ago, only 100k players came back to give it a second chance and it was FREE, how many players going to come back and give it another chance and they have to PAY this time? I would say probably the same but 80% will quit afterwards because they thought they didn't have to pay. Not to mention there's another layer of MTX (Premium Reward Trax, basically premium battlepass)

Now, I'm not saying expansion should be always free, but many players are still skeptical and not convinced enough that new world has turned around. We will see tho, I will check the PTR myself to see the updates.

This will never bring anywhere close to the amount Brimstone did. The game had 2 years to fix itself. It did not. Nobody in the MMO community even considers returning to this anymore. Mounts? Uh. the ones that should have been there at launch, you mean? Why the hell would anybody pay 30 bucks to access a basic feature found for free in every other game?? NW players are a special breed for sure...
