Im from delos, and I agree. But I just want to bring items I bought on other servers back into delos hahahahaha

Same except Neno Kuni to El Dorado

This is idiotic. I just bought NW for a friend to join the game, but they can’t play with me cuz my server is locked. I had no idea this was still such a massive problem. Every day this game gives me a new reason to not play. Just bad decision making by devs over and over and over. So now I am faced with the same dumb problem as since launch??? Transfer server just to be able to play with friends. A year later and still the same problems. Horrible devs. Horrible management. It’s almost like these guys actually have no experience running a game.

Locked Servers are dumb across the board. WoW Classic did it recently, and it made some sense for a very limited time (like a couple weeks) but to just leave them locked long term prevents people from playing with their friends.

You can’t expect a person in a guild with a bunch of guild friends to transfer to another server so they can play with a different friend who may or may not stick around long term… so you are actually stopping people from playing the game AT ALL by keeping servers locked long term.

I would suggest locking them for up to 2 weeks at a time if you really feel locks are needed, and then open them up for like 2-3 days minimum before locking them again. This way people who really will only play if they can get into a specific server have an option, and the majority of people will still be pushed somewhere else to play.

It hasn’t even been that amount of time and they’ve unlocked the majority of the servers in OPs screenshot.

This is true. I just lost all interest after coming back hyped because i cant return to my Server Barri

its sad. Why would they remove me from Barri if i leveld there to 60 and have connection with it.

Cant play with my friends now playing on Barri

If they removed you it’s because you spent 6 months away from the game. I think it’s ok to call you and anyone else who did that an inactive player and make room on those servers for people who want to play while giving you the option to have your character moved to a less populated server and transfer back into your old server if room opens up and it unlocks.

Server locks are there for a reason. You might not been here at release and early on. But ask your self, what is most bad for the game? Server lock or almost endless queues?

We all can understand the need and the problem with server lock but its locked for a reason.

AGS need to make it possible to transfer without entering the game. From main meny on the new world site.

You can β€œselect” a server before you login with a character if it was removed from a server (2 of my 4 characters were without servers a few days ago when I came to check things out).

The core problem is not about whether you can move to a server. It’s about playing with your friends who are also playing with their friends who are also playing with their friends.

It’s not a viable solution that a player returns to his game and his friends, plus the friends of his friends all have to transfer so they can play together again… it goes layers deep.

Don’t get me wrong…I understand the need for temporary locks to push players who have no skin in the game onto a new server, but there needs to be a way for exceptions so people aren’t completely locked out of playing with friends…

This TBH

My friend bought the game and now he is stuck on some random server we can’t play together it’s BS.

Exactly, I’ll wait maybe 2-3 more days then I’m done with New World, if I can’t play with my friends. Approx. 10 of us are playing together in every game and 3 of us left out as character creation was closed on Apophis. Can’t believe they did this again as we were separated last year as well for a long time before migration. I’ll won’t play on separate server again, that is for sure.

Server locks definitelly. I would wait a few hours so I can play with my friends then locked out for good.

Lol literally simping for AGS. I don’t care fix the damn problem, I want 5-10 minute queues and be able to play with my friends at the same time. Deal with it!

my server is crap, and my only options are a 300 population and 500 pop?

this is probably one of the dumbest bandaids to server queues I’ve ever seen
