Its official! Character name and company names are global.
We’ve got more info about server launch times, amazon prime rewards, twitch drops and pre order redemptions too – so lets get into it.
First up we have the server release times.
Tuesday September 28th is launch and we’ve got EU, South America, America West and East coast all kicking off at 8am for their respective time zones with Australia at 9pm for them.
This is a staggered roll out of your respective regions servers and local time zones, however the result is through the wonderous magic of science and time, the EU servers will be the first to become available for access.
Which leads us nicely and unfortunately on to the New World character and company name reservation.
This is going to make things crazy on launch, especially for the EU servers but if we unpack the details there is a chance it won’t be as bad as we first thought – so lets take a look.
New World community manager Luxendra in combination with another Amazon Games Studio representative on Reddit have provided information and cleared up what the deal is with name reservations.
I strongly advise you do not hit back at these people for doing their jobs and communicating as best they can the details for name reservations.
They almost certainly have zero input in decision making when it comes to their job roles and positions in the business so please, treat them with the respect they deserve.
Names with new world are currently global, meaning first come first served and are locked to an account for a short amount of time even after a character is deleted.
Meaning you can jump into any server on launch, create a character to lock your name to your account and then jump out of the game and you’re good to go when your respective regions servers are up.
You do not need to wait in the queue or go to the staring beach to get your name. However due to the following info on Company names, I think we are going to see players do this anyway.
Company names are also global but are not locked to an account, once a company is deleted, removed or renamed the name becomes available immediately.
So its likely for companies that are dedicated to obtaining their unique name in New World, they will have a player or multiple players assigned to multiple server queues, who will rush to the point of being able to form a company in game to reserve their desired name.
The only thing I can think of that might be a blessing in disguise is the launch time for the EU server.
It will be 8am cest and 7am bst in the morning on a Tuesday. For a lot of players you’re already up for work, school, morning commute or whatever else so traffic might be a little less.
Then taking into consideration this would be 11PM Monday night for Pacific Time on the west coast and 2am Tuesday morning for eastern time on the east coast – I know I know, I am holding on to hope, clutching at straws for how this might not be as bad as we think but either way, the wait will finally be over for New World.
We also received news of amazon prime rewards that are bringing some pretty cool cosmetics, emotes and premium currency used to buy cosmetics for the in-game store.
These are going to be changing every month to bring a new theme and goodies to the amazon prime gaming service.
First up is a Pirate pack with a pretty sweet looking pirate skin, available starting on New World’s September 28 launch, and can be claimed until November 1st.
The second Pirate Pack, bringing a pirate sword skin, a finger-across-the-throat emote, and a pack of 3 crests, will be available beginning October 12 and can be claimed by Prime Gaming members until November 1st.
There are also Twitch Drops happening throughout the first two weeks of New Worlds launch for the Vinespun weapons skins set.
Now all thats left is to make sure you are prepared for New Worlds launch on Tuesday 28th September, if you and your friends or guildies are still undecided on a server to call home I’ve created a spreadsheet community resource that shows all server names, world sets, languages, regions, guilds and communities that have confirmed where they are going to call home.

hype!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHICH FACTION THOUGH!?
Wow! It was you that made that spreadsheet with streamer info etc. I've been checking that out recently, thanks for the good work mate.
As a side note, yes I'm taken aback by their bizarre decision and had hoped they could remove the global lock on names, ending this chaos, but I doubt they can or shall do that now. I had also hoped they would say that there would be a global release time instead, but as you've suggested, its not looking that way. At any rate, cheers for the updates.
Hi mate, if we wanna add some details to your spreadsheet, how do we contact you?
Do you know how long the names are locked to a character??
Man I saw Red Guard and that took me back to GW2, can't find anything about them on New World tho
Global name reservation makes no sense and is a really scum bag feature to implement. Lazy devs.
I like your vibe! Keep up the good content!
