Idk what the solution is, but I just wanted to add to the consensus that this is insane. No number of in-game improvements will solve anything if returning players get stuck in day long queues with incorrect numbers. People will immediately uninstall.

Made a post about this when they did the merge at the beginning of the Medleyfaire Update.
How can you possibly entice people to come back to the game just to sit in a queue?? Itss great seeing people want to play, but when AGS made server transfers easier why did they think it was okay to Jam worlds together? The people in those servers obviously enjoyed their server if they weren’t leaving it…
Increasing server pop isn’t even a good solution because the world is too small for many more people to fit in it. I don’t have the answer but PLEASE STOP THE QUEUES.
WE WANT TO PLAY THE GAME YOU ARE WORKING HARD TO MAKE

The servers should be at 4k cap. Its beyond pathetic.
Imagine you quit the game shortly after release because of server que. Now imagine you seen a new update/zone was on the horizon and heard the game was doing better so you decide to reinstall to log in and check it out only to find, a que…
2K is already too high. Any server at current cap needs to be split and players should be given free transfers between the two new servers for a few days, for everyone to get settled.
No its not. If they did some server & client optimizations with brimstone zone added, they go could go 3k easily.
And adding servers will just put us back at the problem they had 8 months ago … empty servers and people bitching that only interaction they see are bots…
The wait to get on Castle of Steel is absolutely ridiculous. I am a regular player and play daily and all of a sudden I am stuck in queues for upwards of 30-45 minutes and it is very frustrating. Please do something about this.

There is now currently a Q of over 4 hours to get on to play on Orofena and over 1/2 an hour for Valhalla which is where both of my toons are. Some people have limited time and would like to be able to play!!! Please fix this so we can enjoy the game and convince friends to return. They said they would but then when they also saw the wait times they said no thanks!
Didn’t they confirm mounts were coming? Also, bugs are an ever occurring thing for any video game.
Tonight’s update, here is a good one. According to NWDB, there are 1400 people in queue for Orofena That is a whole other server worth of people, waiting to play.
This needs to be a top priority issue.
Has anyone seen any form of official statement from the dev team? @Community-Team We are waiting! (literally)

We dont need splits and AGS already ANNOUNCED on twitter there will NOT be any server splits.
We had this problem on SA for about one and a half months. Lots of ppl complaining here and on tickets, and we were mostly ignored the whole time.
I dont even try to log in anymore, just keep my eye for a solution in the horyzon before giving up for good.
Does Valhalla really have a que? Why on earth would a game with such a low player pop have a que? Am my position in que keeps changing – the wrong way!
I’m so confused – I just returned to NW yesterday - and am seriously surprised to be waiting in que now.

CoS is at 900+ in que, Can we get an update on this topic plz?
They can’t constantly open and then merge servers. They need a long term solution. Hopefully they are working in that right now.
they kinda gotta launch new server and handout token …
My Disc message was from my old company leader, invited me to a new discord. 19 of the 45 were coming back with the release and wanted to get together to make sure we all transfered or focused on the same server. I then told them about the current queue issue. Now 6 still want to give it a go.
Should have left it at 7 -8 servers.
Been sitting in queue for over an hour now. Decided to give New World another chance after dropping it a couple months after release. As an official returning player, these queue times are going to make me quit again within the week. Have burnt half of my available gaming time this week just sitting in queue. NOT OKAY!!!

Good grief no, not at this map size. The competition for gathering was intense tonight, with people dodging and streaking and pulling mobs to fight over stuff like hemp.
Increase the pop cap as the map grows, yes, but right now 2000/2250 is kinda high for what we have.
