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.
If your current revenue model is viable, then great!
I know that I would be glad to pay a monthly subscription cost to play New World. I currently spend very little on cosmetics, which is what worries me about you guys not charging a sub. I don’t know what other player’s spending is like in NW.
I would also spend more in the Store if there was more of a reason to do so. I’m not suggesting Pay-2-Win, but my main reason for not really paying for any cosmetics is because you can’t tint them, so basically your character looks like every other player that buys the same skins. Without the ability to be able to use Dyes on purchased Skins, makes it pointless IMHO to purchase skins. I’m sure just adding that (which is easy), would greatly increase your income from selling cosmetics AND Dyes! Perhaps Dyes should only be available via the store.

I will be very vocal about this. I’m not spending another penny on the game in its store until the developers bring back the animation cancels particularly the void gauntlet slide abilities as it added a high risk high reward style of gameplay never seen in an mmo before and I would love to see the other weapons get their own unique abilities. I’m fine purchasing skins and emote knowing its supporting a game when I agree with the motives of the devs/publishers and their innovations but currently they have been stepping backwards and doubling down on end game management rather than making the game what it is supposed to be… which is to be fun to play. lets take borderlands 2 for example. you can play that game seemingly endlessly. you can fight the same bosses over and over and run around the world over and over using the new game+ and this is very tongue n cheek as they will say “its the way it was meant to be played.” subsequently after you beat the game and new game plus says, “its the way it was really meant to be played,” and each time after it just adds one more “really” to the sentence. evenually its not really going to appeal to you and its the same for every sequel. however… there are timeless games that many players still enjoy. why is that? because the balance of the game’s pvp aspect is done so well that it is an even challenge examples, tribes 2, doom, multiplayer, quake and personally my favorite gunz online (not the newest version). there are hidden secret mechanics and maps that the veterans are more than happy to teach a new players that expand on that games experience in and out of combat. thats why I will stand by my argument that animation cancels can bring back some of the fans because you beat someone through skill and not because you grinded, swapped and killed more prior to that fight. Other issues of the game is the PVE quest stories but that is a matter the devs not once saying, hey we need some player - world interaction outside of crafting and gathering. stories and experiences build the world connection. you dont play skyrim because of its vanilla combat system. you play it because around every corner is a unique experience. random encounters with npc’s where the player is able to actively converse with and feel like they aren’t simply a murder hobo hunter gatherer bot and right now thats what all the players really are.
