AGS would have to learn to be consistent because F2P mmorpg’s especially KRMMORPG’s produce content often. The cash shop would need a serious revamp to what it is now. Overall judging from how small their roadmap was, this game would have no chance in hell of lasting in a F2P model. Especially with how locust crazed part of this community is. Without regular consistent content in the forms of dailies, weeklies, monthlies, weekly events, monthly events it will just be a pointless transition.

really wonder, when they add exp boost ( normal exp or anything to boost yield )
pretty sure i read smth about it last year before release.
why are you trying to sell the game for them ?
its not a question what the funds could do for the company. but Im more suspicious if amazon game studios the publisher is simply bleeding the sub development companies dry. regardless more interest comes more business and more business comes more r&d for future projects in that area usually but ags has an interesting track record for their post sale support in their games. dont forget that ags was the developer behind top gear the racing game. this team though is a bit odd though. seems they have it in them to make games, that much is not being questioned. but they have no real creativity and self expression of their own, like they seem to copy concepts and thats where it all stops.
AoC?
Sorry sir. But AoC is not a scam.
The studio has 90 developers work on the project while AGS has only 10.
New World is an amazing game for me. I enjoy every minute in this game. I want to be succeed.
But guys lets be honest. A studio with 10 developers on a MMO is a bad thing.
The problem for NW are not the developers neither AGS. The problem is Amazon. AGS is Subsidiary of Amazon and they don’t want to put money in AGS.
AoC will be the best MMO game ever created for me. I know that we don’t have an official release date, but they hard working on this project. Did you see the Dynamic Weather update? Bro this is amazing. And don’t forget that this game is developing on Unreal Engine 5.
Time to play other games. I’ll be looking into AoC and playing ESO while numbers dwindle here and the squabble persists on the forums. 
I do hope NW turns it around though. Just don’t have any faith in it.
Agreed!
Battlepasses? No. We already have one of those in the form of PVP tracks.
Blah blah blah…
F2P is not a solution, most of F2P games become P2W games to survive…
Yes… Do this. I aint ‘scerd’…
Cause like you… I paid for the game. Even if I’m not playing it, I still paid for it. I stopped playing a week ago after giving it a second chance and even still, devs continue to do really dumb shit.
So UNTIL the mods/devs ban me from these forums, which would be kinda neat, I think… I will continue to post my 2 cents in these forums to show the disgust that we’ve had to deal with for so long.
So like you… my voice is just as relevant. Guess you gotta deal with it.
probably? you’re definitely wrong. Dont play and never have played ESO
“This guy” is just one of the many that see NW for what it’s become. Total trash.
Though I agree with 95% of what you said, I really dont think 5k people can keep this game going.
Think about how many people you need on a server to actively keep Expeditions going. Add all of the other group joins like OPR and WAR and so forth… the only group function that would be doable is the 3v3. Everything else simply wont have enough people to continue.
Think about what a current 16k pop (peak) feels like on any server other than the primary active server in each area. Right now, you can push all servers into 1 in almost all areas aside from the east coast USA. East coast is the only area that seems to hold enough users to keep enough pop to do things and that’s only for the top 2-3 servers in that area.
At this rate, West coast wont have enough people in 2 months to do much. Right now, you can press ALL players in one server and still not hit the cap. The merges aren’t doing anything but moving people around. People are still leaving in droves.
Some of these fanbois can’t see past their noses to know the truth of it.
Nobody can predict the future. I know i cant, but quite a few folks on this forum think they can glance at some graph on the internet and predict the future with absolute certainty.
But we will see.
I agree with you that the game will get harder as the playerbase drops.
I did. 
Very true. Today.
But the longer you dont play and AGS continues to patch, your voice will become less relevant because you dont have first hand experience.
Folks do play for a very short time after a patch just to confirm their biases and then run to forums and yell “See? Im still right”.
Which is tiresome also.
That is just as true for the haters. Maybe more so because they are blinded by rage.
Thanks for the feedback! Confirming that there are no plans currently to go F2P for New World. I saw some folks mention subs in the thread, which we are also not currently planning for. I don’t want to say ‘never’ because I can’t predict the future, but I can confirm that as of right now, we are not considering either of the aforementioned.
I also saw a few mentions of Battle Pass - there is a post from around launch about our position on battle passes, which are also not happening anytime soon as we continue to focus on events, content and features, and to my knowledge that originally stated position has not changed. Now I’ve got to go scrounge up that post…
If any of this changes, we will let everyone know well in advance.

im honestly surprised you guys arent taking more advantage of the amazon affiliation and using more prime things.
besides the prime skins that almost every game has.
where is the discounted or f2p for prime members type angle.
heck where is the discounted expansions or cash shop coins for prime members.
thats like easy cross promotion to get more people on prime.

For some the battlepass is a good idea. It offers a unique skins and weapons that may be unlocked through playtime and rng and on paper it sounds good. But this type of model has been corrupted before and easily hidden. While streamers serve as a method of advertisement for the game a simple turn of a switch can change the rng to favour that player while other players are left scrounging at the bottom of the barrel and there is nothing to prove or disprove that statement. Whats worse is paid boosters follow up soon after the includion of battle passes and game devs and publishers begin whale hunting offering weapons with slightly better stats than endgame highest tier items that impacts the games balance and influences the clan building. It might seem subtle at firts but soon the cats out of the bag and the only thing left to do for the devs is to double down and go all in knowing that their days are numbered. Take neverwinternights for example a game where you can pay to reach end game upon account creation. The cost is steep by the way. All the weapons and armor are accessible in the game currently so long as you purchase it or craft it. That shouldnt be a problem for most of you. And if you really need to stand out and im not sure why you would want to as a stealth enthusiast. There are unique skins that you can get thought twitch streams, the in game store and the amazon prime gaming. If you absolutely have to feel like a unique brilliant snowflake the devs have pretty well gotten that covered. Up and including runny around on an imaginary horse like your king arthor from monty pythons quest for the holy grail in which i might have gotten if it wasnt such an outright fish slap to the face by the devs after the release of the 1.2.1 patch where they nerfed the void gauntlets animation cancel. Where you can no longer travel in the world at a decent speed and now you travel just as slow and twice as rediculas. Except for those that didnt get the emote and now you can never get it.
