Still around 50k playing on Steam, and that's been consistent. There are console players as well, but Steam doesn't show those.

I already have 1 character who maxed out everything and I quit cause the servers died and I couldn't do anything. I was excited to go back to him, get some levels and join the boom in player count.

Instead the server was still dead and everyone playing on a fresh server.

Now I am levelling a new guy on fresh server. I swear, if the game dies off again and servers are dead - zero chance I will come back to grind everything again a third time. I want my character to be able to survive on persistent worlds like retail wow. I still have my first ever wow character from 2004 who is perfectly viable on busy servers till this current day - 20 years later.

Having my new world main imprisoned on a server with 3 people hanging around the trading post is a joke.

We’ve got even more players on a server than the game had at the original release so I’d say it’s doing pretty good

Yep, on the new start servers, settlements are crammed with players, and loads can be seen running around in the wilds. There must be lots of console players in the game. TBH, I sometimes enjoy playing my older characters for a bit of peace and quiet The servers are less manic. No lag in towns, as there are only 10 or 12 players doing stuff there. The wilds are even quieter, and this makes it easier to get resources, which is always nice.

On a new start servers, I was quite amused by the amount of players turning up at one of the VERY few spots where Barley spawns. They all want it to make food for their mounts, of course, but all were doomed to disappointment. Too many people beating them to it. 😄

:D :D :D Hate to break it to you but "Secret World Legends" is still going after 6 years with 150 players online, Star Trek Online is at 13 years with 2k players online and Lord of the Rings and Neverwinter both have around 1500 online and all those games are not going anywhere anytime soon.

Newworld with the current numbers will be around a decade at least if not more

That even though they are way past their best, if they ever had a best, and even though they have next to no players, they're still around. New World could potentially be a long way from "the end". Always assuming Amazon doesn't decide to pull the plug, in the next year or two, of course.

game feel very meaningless now. follow the story quest and get spoonfed gear thats better than all the profession craftables at your level. after completing the very easy and remedial tasks that give 5x xp compared to anything in the actual world they will try to sell you their DLC. thats all it is, easy speed xp to 60, sell the DLC. last chance cash grab
people cant enter the game after update im one of them
