Server Possibilities

[lCrysis]

Good afternoon everyone, I’m going to post some server possibilities for Amazon to think about incorporating. Let me know what yall think.

1. Whitelisting Alpha and/or Beta players
   This is for all of the players who have been watching New World grow over the past year. Give Alpha/Beta players a white list capability, to avoid server queues. Kind of how Battlefield does their premium priority. White list players with premium priority get first in slot queue times. For player retention of die hard fans.

2. World Locking
   On a first come first serve basis your character is locked into a world. Giving you and open slot everytime you login avoiding queue times. If a character is deleted from a World it opens a free slot for X amount of new characters on any given server World per available slots open.

3. Obvious player cap increase from 2000 to 3500

4. Free open world transfers at any given time.
   Think back to OSRS (Old School Runescape), allowing players to freely take a created characters at any given time from any server to world hop freely to open low queue time servers. Avoiding queue times and allowing players to play with friends at all times. The catch would be integrating companies and guilds into the mix of world hopping.
   Say for example you are always tied to your company no matter the world. Allowing wealth transfers. But in able to play in wars and territory control you must be logged into the companies world. I think this should allow players to move freely, keeping queue times low enough to be able to transfer worlds in times of war.

This is just my thoughts, hopefully some will agree with this

Thank you for replying. I love this game, and it has the possibilities of becoming something special, unique, and long lasting. I want this game to be around for years to come. Myself and a majority of the community have been waiting years for a game of this caliber. Yall have worked hard to make new world what it is, and I for one appreciate the endless efforts, and community responses.

The main reason why I bring these possibilities up is for long term player retention, and the ability to play with friends at any given time.

My experience from last night was a length 4+ hr queue time of 3500 players on Na East, Heliopolis.
My buddies were playing at launch and played all day. I had to work a majority of the day and when i tried to log in I was hit with a queue. Im not mad, it happens. But I was disappointed that I eventually had to play on a different server because of the queue time. I work alot, and im sure alot of other players do as well, in which we can’t really afford a 4hr wait time just to play with friends.

Playing with friends I think is everyones number one priority, we all want to explore together. And character locking on servers is pretty harsh, in a sense you have to restart a new character and lose hours of hard work just to play with friends, even that isn’t a guarantee that you’ll be able to, right now atleast.

Allowing free world hopping with your character would benefit all of the player base, in many ways.

1.Playing with friends at any time on any world, for starters. Without having to restart.

2.if a server is dominated by one faction, it’ll allow other players from different factions to help in wars against the opposing factions. The map being dominated by one faction is definitely disheartening. With constant wars on different servers, it’ll allow the hardcore PvPers to constantly stay in the action. Switching worlds to stay in wars constantly. Which on the War Board, in game you could have a tab for up coming wars on different servers for people to go participate in. Thus the constant rotation of pvp players will keep worlds open. Itll make territory control more balanced.

3.Too many people farming in selected area hotspots, instead of waiting you can world hop to a less populated server to advance what you are trying to achieve in New World quicker, instead of waiting.

4. For the working class who want to relax after a long day, to chill with their buddies. Drink some beers and run PvE missions or crafting grind.

I hope free world hopping comes to fruition for the longevity of New World. I dont much like comparing games, but there’s a reason why Runescape has been around and still popular after all these years. Free world hopping is one of the top traits.

Thank you all at Amazon for your hard work, please take this into consideration
