I can see why they did this. A lot of negativity is been spread and no other MMOâs show their numbers quite as transparently as New World. I think this just tend to create more âthis game is dyingâ topics, which doesnât help the people who still want to play. Although I am dissapointed that I cant see the numbers I am also happy it might help somewhat mitigate that negativity.

I played Anarchy Online at launch what a cluster with crashing and constant rollbacks. But once it stabilized (in less time than New World going on here), it was pretty fun.

too bad they cant hide steam numbers huh
If there were rollbacks then, yes, it would be worse. Thankfully, AGS has avoided rollbacks.
Where have you seen numbers?
I never saw it of official sources, only player`s driven database.
In game launcher - since closed beta - it has always been only Low/Med/High pop , and number of players in queue âŚ
I wonder if this is to keep folks from seeing huge population drop offs because of the housing tax being allowed to cost 10 times what we were paying due to the 90% reduction put in place over the holidays?
Either way, it isnât a good thing to see the numbers hidden now.
Anyone notice, that this thread will close 21 days after the last post, instead of the usual 30 days time frame in use up till now?

WTF Smoke in da hole, i hope this is a temporary bug.
If not, i really lose confidence because of things like that 
This aint right⌠bit too soon to hide numbers no?
Really sucks they did thisâŚ
Yes and really just pissing everyone off and calling attention to their low numbers in general as you can see by the 681 upvotes on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/newworldgame/comments/sfj4k2/removing_the_ability_to_see_server_populations/
I donât even know if this is intentional. As long as total player numbers can be seen on steam, whatâs the point of hiding server numbers? Anyone can see that the total player numbers are in decline. Hiding server numbers only hurts the people still playing the game.

Used to play on dead server berfore merges with 100 players at peak time. Now after the merges it change to 900 to 1k players. Thats because i can see the estimated population.
Since the change i canât see the population anymore, for me its important because i know when it hits the lowest players so i can go farm something that mostly crowded at peak time.
And one more thing,most bots are gone now it seems. But i dont want to jinx it though, fingers crossed its true
Can I borrow your tin foil hat? I forgot mine at home.
Desperate incompetence leads to tragedies.
Last time it could be see the Australian servers had 3k players in prime time, just a bit over one full server LOL
The numbers were there to read in an API application programming interface that was viewable with 3rd party created coding. I think that is how it works with my substandard intimacy with programming. lol
You would think someone would mention something.
