It’s not really, all people would have to do is think about it for a few minutes. I’m willing to bet New World makes a lot of money from investors and from back room communities. One just have to follow the money. Then apply some thought to why RMTers are very lightly regulated.
Of course, the above is purely my speculation and could be entirely wrong.
If I were you I’d play it man, it’s honestly a great game but when you get to endgame it get’s VERRRRRRRRY STALE. I have all crafts maxed, all my bis classes. I literally quit the game today after 1.5k hours and started playing anything other than new world. I love the game but for now I had to abandon it due to there being literally nothing to do, expeditions are boring as hell and played out, PVP has literally no content, everyone uses the same class. If your new to MMO’s I would say check it out, but you’ll realize later on this game is missing tons of content, * cough cough* PVP!
Don’t fool yourself into thinking this. If it doesn’t make business sense to keep it running they will stop it. Yes they will keep the servers live but they will stop all development if it’s costing too much and not making a return.
I love this game and hope it lives a long and healthy life. I hope development picks up and gives people hope.
Ignoring performance issues, Game is on a good spot.
Not even a single realistic mmo with action combat is comming in the Closer future. Those Big names are not direct competitors, many people cant move back to another type of combat since new world is also a fact.
We Will see another population growment once ppl check those new titles and cant feel fully satisfied.
I think people can be very satisfied with a game with all kinds of combat, New World combat is okay but it’s not killing great MMOs. Don’t kid yourself, and it’s lacking content in a major way.
The thing is many people still have the idea that a new mmo will appear and magically will bring all kind of mmo players toghether for another decade on the same game, but it will not happen never ever again. Mostly replay the same game for nostalgia or simply as a daily habit.
Neither confuse me with a white knight of AGS, i’ll never buy any product from this company nor pay a single euro for a expansion untill they show proper manners on their acts.
A lottttttt of people are just looking for massive open world pvp that doesnt lag. And/or competitve/ranked/MMR/yoloqueue with a good class/balance system thats actively being worked on.
Hell it can even be instanced. It just needs to be available and once again, Not lag. Or desync. Whatever studio or game does this first with UE5 will change the gaming world, and then HOPEFULLY itll start a new standard and were in for the golden days era of video games.
Thats of course if corporate monetization and passionless devs can keep their hands off.
Definitely some cope and hopium in there, but wouldnt it be nice?
