Comparing apples to oranges here. Most MMOs don’t show up on Steam charts because they have their own dedicated launcher. Saying New World has more concurrent players than other genres is being disingenuous at best.
Which bugs? The ones from the launch of game that still exist? The ones from the first emergency patches? Or the ones from this latest clusterF? That’s the thing, they break more than they fix.
But the problem is not coming from the 80k players. The problem is that the number of players is decreasing too fast. In one months the peak will be 60k. In 3 months 40 - 50k ?
When it will stop? Why people are quitting? Is AGS will merge new servers every 2 months ?
The feeling that the game is dying for so many players is completely normal according to the facts.
I know it hurts those who believe in the game but facts are facts.
if AGS spent the last couple months fixing bugs and combat issues rather than adding content, we’d be in a different place right now

Says people are doing PVE to raise their expertise level.
It says everyone is grinding umbral shards.
I like PVP, but the balance of weapons, mount, honor champion list, diversified 1V1 3V3 content, these interesting grinding content is not, ending in January, only disappointing content update
relentless studios 
it’s a hefty list of known bugs, not sure if you have ever coded a game before but you literally can change one simple thing and break 5 other things.
Thats what testing is for.
That is true, which is why normally they schedule QA to test the fix and any systems connected to it, to see if anything else broke from the fix. Except they don’t seem to have a QA team, let alone even do QA. They see a problem, they fix that problem whatever way they can (often poorly) and it leads to breaking other things which they don’t know until players complain after the patch is live. A good QA team testing things would help prevent most obvious bugs from ending up in the live environment. Looks like they’ve been cutting corners, likely not enough devs with enough time to properly fix/test things, and no QA to do any thorough testing.
So many players in the same position.
I log in like it’s a job, do a few chores, then log back out and play something I actually enjoy. I’ve been hoping and waiting for more PvP options, to fix the desync and bugs plaguing the game, but every patch the game gets buggier and further away from what I want.
Sad to see the potential go to waste, but probably for the best.

In northern hemisphere it is “gaming saison” and most players live there. In summer the numbers will keep dropping even more. I can imagine that NW will have 20 or 30 K people on average at primetimes. I dont know when NW reaches the critical line. Maybe under 20k they will have to make decisions.

The bugs I could have lived with, but I can’t live with having to grind 1000 dungeons for my 2/3 different pvp builds to be min maxed. God forbid I want to change or try a new piece of gear. Crafting my gear was fun, repetitive dungeons not fun.

no need to grind dungeons
if u dont like it, dont do it
that 1 attribute and 1% doesnt matter in pvp
All I can hear when I see this is Nickelback singing, look at this graaaaaaaphhhh. I am pretty sure I’ve seen this same graph a million times now since the game has been released. Low effort posts unfortunately would be more helpful if this was more constructive.
What is AGS intention to veil their misery? Maybe they fear bad publicity? Players will talk about empty servers anyway. Next step is closing forums. Last step closing servers !
When companies do this, the end is not far away 
Those are not AGs charts - looks like nwdb.info, and there was an issue obtaining stats for a while.
Yes numbers may be declining but stupid posts taken out of context are just that. stupid.
login:
- find out cooldown crafting mats crash because no one wants to craft and dungeons are loot pinatas
- stupid storage bugs
- items have downscaling because you didn’t grind some stupid metric so no point in buying anything
- already stupid taxes that are more like rent went up
gee I wonder why
