New World is launching tomorrow! And so I wanted to quickly give you everything you need to know about launch, pre download, server opening, and the staggered server launch! Iām still slightly surprised at the different server opening times, I do understand the logic behind it but with global names I canāt help thinking it is going to cause more problems than it will solve!

I am hoping that the pessimism around the staggered launch proves unfounded but I have a nasty feeling that it won't. People and companies chasing world firsts will have to join EU servers if they hope to compete and in order to "reserve" their company name they'll have to get to level 10, hopefully people will come to the conclusion that it makes more sense to grind hard on their final home server than to go the delete/rename route but you never can tell.
All in all I see why they've done it, hoping to have time to get any launch day wrinkles ironed out before the game hits the US market (and gaming press) but I'm not certain it will play out the way they hope it will.
Guys I pre-ordered the game 10 days ago, I have an amazon prime account and I buy reguraly stuff from amazon, but I still didnt got the email with the key, why is that??
I've heard that it's fully global for names but also by region, so the EU servers, the NA east, NA west… I think the lack of real clarity there is going to create more problems for the EU launch than anything else. Like you said, everyone's going to pile into those servers to reserve names. All it would take is one VERY clear announcement from Amazon to settle it. If it's fully global, I think it's stupid but their choice and at least players can make the best of it and if that crashes the login and starting area servers repeatedly, shame on Amazon. If it's NOT fully global, shame on Amazon for not clarifying that and setting us and them up for an overloaded EU launch. I know that, short of finding solid confirmation that it's by region I will be one of those NA sob's logging in at EU launch to at least reserve a couple names and if it's remotely playable, trying to get a Company name even if I don't plan to use it for quite a while.
ETA: Just saw the post a dev made, and it definitely seems to be saying that it's fully global, not by region. That's just nuts, but oh well. Good luck, folks. Type fast.
The most EU players have to go tho work or school that morning so the "head start" isnt that unfair tbh
sigh… everytime i hear him it reminds me of those stupid faked Conqueror's Blade adds that kept playing all the time at some point…
So people in EU get a headstart? It's not like I'm playing against them.
I was able to get prime for free for 1 month, and I've had prime in the past, so be sure to check your accounts if you don't already have prime! Free stuff š (I just logged in and went to the "Your prime membership" in the account & lists section) just cancel it after the second set of freebies next month if you don't want to keep it.
So it's 11:06 ET. Where's the pre-download?
its Already 8:00 AM Pacific Time!!! Waaaaa still cant download in steam!!!
gonna wait for a discount
will the nvidia 3090 bug be fixed at launch
what pisses me off more than anything, i preordered from amazon and now i find out my only option to play is through the 3rd party steam crap app
Dear NA players,
no matter how hyped you might be or how important you think your nick/ company name is: PLEASE, STAY AWAY FROM THE EU SERVERS and wait till NA opens up for you!
Every EU player who legit took a day off work to enjoy launch day will thank you for not causing completely unnecessary queues on our servers.
Rumors say the new javelin units are so overpowered and explosive they already burned down multiple in game houses by accident like GOKTURK, ENDGEGNER DTI and RedByz XD. RIP
The only issues I see.. Names and Companies being global, and not region based. And the game should've dropped to everyone equally for an equal chance. But the name lock is going to screw me over big time as it's a name I have used for 18 years, and I'm 99% sure I will miss it.
Promoting a game for over an year as free to play and after that asking 40 bucks its just crazy talk
For Australia, might as well be midnight >.>
Damn school
Client downloaded. Took a whole 8 minutes š
So how do those twitch drops work? You have to watch people play?
Just hold off playing New World until Wednesday and log on when you feel like it. No confusion. Problem solved!
Does it really matter if EU players have a 9 hour head start? like, if you play on somewhere like US West, who cares if someone is a bit ahead on the EU servers? Ontop of that 9 hours isnt really all that much in MMOs
too bad no SEA server, where there are lots of mmo players. 200ping for the best server here which is AP SE
Unless you can move your character from one server to another the different start time won't give anyone a headstart.
game look like shit
