What is Aeternum?

[Fallen𝐸𝓂]

I feel so stupid right now. I don't get it. Is New World: Aeternum a new game or a DLC or an update? Can anyone enlighten me?

It's a new old game. Think New World, and that's New World: Aeternum. They have some tweaks and stuff, but it's the same game. I know, it's confusing.

Its essentially rebranding New World with some changes (not dramatically so) and being marketed for its console debut.

Basically its the same ole NW cereal with some colored marshmallows added and a "new" slapped on the box.

it's an update like any other update, they call it a "reworked new player experience" and it was made for the console players.

they gave it a new name and called it "action rpg" because AGS actually thinks console players don't know what an mmo is. I'm not even making that up, sadly.

also: when it comes to the confusion this whole kerfuffle caused, it could be either deliberate or it's incompetence. either way, they have a marketing department that treats their customers like complete morons.

Do you carry on from the beta our have to start a fresh game?

Ok I think I get it now, thanks everyone!

LOL. The new fresh start servers are called standard servers and the PC servers are called legacy servers. Standard servers have the same rules as fresh start servers but the PC fresh start servers are no longer fresh start and you can transfer to them.
