New World, developed by Amazon with high hopes, has fallen victim to server problems. New World presenters, who exceeded 600,000 simultaneous players on the day of its release, failed to respond to this attention. That’s why reviewson the New World Steam page have been translated into “Mostly Negative.” Amazon has two short-term and long-term plans to address this problem.
Amazon’s options for solving New World server problems
Amazon said in a post on the day of New World’s release that the company’s short-term plan is to create new servers and increase the player capacities of existing servers so that everyone can get into the game as quickly as possible. The company plans to extend it over the long term, giving players the right to switch free servers over the next two weeks.
Amazon hopes that the transitions from overcrowded servers to servers played by fewer players during the free server switching period will reduce the burden of full servers and that there will be no “low-player servers.” However, things may not go amazon’s way if all players who fail to enter the game try to switch to the same “low-population server.”
Even if things go as planned, New World players are likely to be dealing with server problems for a while.
