I can read previous Company chat and I cannot get my company name

****** Please make sure you fill out the following information before submitting a report ******

Don’t forget to check the Known Issues List to see if your issue is currently being worked on by the dev team.
We also have existing workaround for some issues that you can find here:

  • What is your character name in New World: Sparroww
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: Tillian-Tilappan
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: I was a governor of a company, I was requested to take over another company and then merge them together. To make sure this went correctly I gave ownership to my consul and got invited to the other company. I am now Governor here but I can still read the previous companies, company chat. I am no longer in their company.
    As a side effect, my Companies name Which I was going to change this company into, is now locked in some phantom state. I would like to get my current company name corrected and I should no longer be able to read my previous companies chat.

Current Name of company where I am Governor is: ‘New Attrition’ I am trying to change it to ‘Attrition’ since that is my company name.

  • Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug
  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: I honestly may take an extended break from NW if I am unable to get the company name corrected. I can deal with seeing my previous companies chat. But that is still a bug problem. But to me my company name is the most important thing I have in-game. I had refused multiple company merger requests because I would have lost the Attrition tag.
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: N/A
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Be a governor of a company, switch to a new company and be promoted to governor.

NOTE: I am unsure if owning territory is the cause. But that is why I was moving into the other company. They control territory, but their main player base moved servers. So I got the territory, and the few straggler members.

Screenshot example of two different company members talking across companies.
Kind of cool to see but it is a bug.
NOTE: Initially we named the company New management until the name change was to take place.

Makes me think they could do ‘Alliance’ channels in the future.

Some of the best features are little mistakes. (Peanut Butter)

Edited OP to change the stated current company name.
I changed the company name from “New Managment” to “New Attrition” however, I do not consider this a fix. I consider it a temporary workaround.

On a side note:
Please see this posting also for suggestions not related to this posting.
