If we look back, we do not have to look far to know that the new game of Amazon Games, New World, has been very successful since its launch last September 28. The keys to its success have welcomed thousands and thousands of players, becoming the best-selling game of the week on Steam.
However, for those of us who have been playing in an MMORPG, we know that sometimes we have to face many people who are in game without playing And, in New World, exactly the same has happened. While trying to alleviate congestion in their server queues, other players took advantage of being absent – or also known as AFK – while playing, which has led to the developers take certain steps.
AFK mode in New World
Before these measures, New World already had incorporated an AFK timer that what he did was remove the players from the game after a certain period of inactivity, approximately about 25 minutes, as reported in the RPS medium. Knowing that the queues are being abundant and that many people are waiting incessantly, it is unfair that others who are already in the game do not take advantage of playing, which the developers have wanted to take action on the matter and have explained in a new publication in forum.
“We have created a new solution to help us identify and act against bad faith AFK players. We will not reveal the details how that solution works, but we will say that we have every confidence that players who play New World will not normally experience any problems. “

This new system will direct those players who are inactive to the main menu. However, if the behavior continues, other sanctions will apply which are more severe, which have not been specified. Likewise, these types of measures will begin to be applied within a period of time, so for now they are not active and the results will not seem immediate.
The objective of applying these measures is mainly to make a fair community and that feel comfortable when it comes to playing. However, if you are just getting started with this MMO, we encourage you to take a look at all the guides that our colleagues from 3DGames Guides and that will be practical for your first steps in this great world.
