I suspected that the start of New World becomes bad, but was still stinking

On September 28 at 8:00 clock, the Servers Vonnew World finally went online. Meinmo editor Alexander Leitsch was in the middle of it and has set hours in queues. With problems it has expected, but the way the queues are built up, made it frustrated and angry.

How did the release of New World? The start of Amazon ran for some very well, for other terrible, as you can read in our live ticker.

Anyone who has managed to come directly in the morning at 8:00 am on one of the few EU servers, who will have experienced an interesting and perhaps even very fun release. Because the servers ran very stable.

Only between 10:20 and 10:45 o clock it came to a maintenance on almost all servers. Individual servers also had crashes, but the places were reserved for the players who were already on it. So they could easily handle the queues.

But who did not have this luck, the stand in queues. And sometimes 10 hours or more. Because Amazon left only a certain number of players on each server. And that s exactly frustrating me extremely.

Who writes here? Alexander Leitsch is the MMORPG expert at Meinmmo. He has already lived the launch of games like Aion, Guild Wars 2, Archeage or Black Desert and sunk in these titles thousands of hours. But so frustrated as New World he was never in these games.

Some players had the day of their lives, others stared at queues

What was and is the problem of new world? If a new MMORPG appears, then everyone expects server crashes or queues. This is completely normal and that s exactly what I expected at New World. I was firmly assumed that I would only play a few hours - if at all.

But Amazon uses a rather untypical system for your servers.

While most online games produce the queue artificial so that not too many players flock into the starting areas and crash the servers, the New World servers were actually full. Who stood in the queue, had to wait until a player really left the server.

Although there is no exact player number per server, but on the basis of people in companies in companies one goes out of about 2,000 players per server. The 63 EU servers offered only about 126,000 players to start.

In view of the fact that over 250,000 players were online early in the morning, the long queues were almost preprogrammed. And it was also to be expected that the players who were early on a server would not leave them all day.

I was jealous of those who could already play

What made me frustrated? Basically there were two things:

On the one hand, I hope that Amazon would make better than other MMORPGs. After all, you delay the release extra at 4 weeks to tackle problems with servers and queues. On the other hand, I was able to watch streamers and friends and listen as they had the day of their lives in New World. At the same time, I had no chance to enter any of the servers ever. Because to get a access to the queue course 5,000 access, all these 5,000 players have to go offline in front of me.

Players who once were online could easily play the whole day, without major downtime or problems. That felt worse for me than if the servers would have been offline all day.

Name it quietly at this point, because nothing else is it. I was and I m jealous of those who could gamble. They could finally experience the MMO on which I have been waiting for years and that I have already wanted so much in the beta. But this fun was denied me.

Also from some colleagues who even had the plan to control a settlement with their company, I have noticed a lot of anger. They did not really care about the server, but they could play nowhere together. If you start now together, the settlements will be awarded on all servers.

In the end, the servers also led to New World on Steam Miese Reviews:

Server problems okay, but then please with announcement

Did that happen? Basically, I do not want to make a reproach, because such a huge rush, as New World has experienced to release is difficult to cope.

I have noticed with problems and downtime, but not that some can play all day long, while over half of those interested all day were in a queue.

I would have wanted an open communication of the developers to be prepared exactly. Amazon would have:

Can explain how your plans can explain how your plans are, even with regard to new server openings Can directly explain the capping so that players do not even set themselves up to 10,000 to the queue The now announced free server change can be announced before the start. So you would have put on small servers in the queue and would then be changed to the big servers later. Even the subsequent increase in server capacity is an important info that came too late.

These three aspects have made my start much more pleasant, even if a bit of envy would probably remain.

What else is there to criticize? I would have wanted more servers directly to the start. The hype that exists around New World was well known. I myself have reported on Meinmommo that due to this Hypes Lost Ark had defeated New World.

Of course, behind the decision, with how many servers you start, many technical aspects that we have no insight and that you can hardly criticize. But Amazon has simply needed too long with statements to the queues and new servers, which has also led to frustration.

From my point of view, Amazon also saves herself, if she did not even make the name award globally. This led to the fact that players of other regions have created characters at home in Europe, easy to secure their name.

What about New World itself? Meanwhile, I arrived at night and this morning already to play a few hours New World. And I am still convinced of the MMO. The entry has succeeded and first endgame is available. But some depends on how Amazon delivers further content after the release.

The criticism in this article is therefore not aimed at all against the game, but against the way the servers have worked to release.
