It is hard to cope with excess success at times, and it is something that has happened to New World in its first few hours after launch. A day ago the expected servers were opened MMO from Amazon Games and the desire to try the game was felt very early: queues of thousands of players and unstable servers. The study work on fixing it.
In a new statement, Amazon Games has gone to the past of the complaints of many players who could not enjoy the game yesterday. The very long queues, with hours of waiting, were added disconnection problems from the server in the middle of the game or bugs in the game that forced you to restart, inconveniences that pushed you to the end of the queue again.
“We understand that some players are experiencing long wait times and we are working hard on a few things to help resolve these issues. We will continue to prepare. additional servers and we will expand the capacity from our existing servers once we have properly tested these changes, “said Amazon Games.
At the moment it is difficult to know when these changes will arrive in Europe, but in the last hours they are adding more worlds to servers of North America or Australia, and that perhaps distributes the players more. It is necessary to be patient and wait for the adjustments to arrive quickly, but many users do not understand that something like this has happened with a company like Amazon.
New World, “mixed” reviews on Steam
All these problems are passing bill to the game. There are very pissed off users who cannot explain why Amazon could not foresee this, after several betas and with the power that the company has. What is evident, and is clear once again, is that launching an MMO it is not an easy task and all expectations are usually exceeded.
The game currently has “mixed” reviews on Steam, with many players giving a negative rating for inability to play in the early hours. This may collide with the data that SteamDB records, as there was 707,230 simultaneous players, the game’s record, but the reality is that many of those users will have been in line and that’s it.
The interest is more than clear and New World is the fifth most successful game on Steam, to be said soon. “Our only goal right now is for everyone to log in and play quickly“, explained Amazon Games, which has indicated that due to the problems they will offer an opportunity in the next two weeks to change our character of server totally free.
