This isnât a solution. Iâve made several new characters over the past week to low pop servers and had them quickly fill up and the next day Iâm sitting in a long queue again.
I must say a 6 hours queue is incredibly long. When I had that queueâs at beginning of the launch I wasnât even playing. I just tought: hmm play it in a few days thenâŚ
But 6 hours queue, are there still here atm?

Because the game isnât âstableâ yetâŚ
Within a few days I think that will start and everything will get better and hopefully everything is âsolvedâ and âplayableâ or near âplayableâ within 1-2 weeks
No I was in the game in under an hour last night.
I am sure you play eve online 
Totally on the same page with you. Itâs bad behavior brought on by what I believe after doing personal research on it to be poor decision making on Amazonâs part. I did say that I agreed with you lol, did you not see that? Your example is right, but itâs also similar to getting a ticket for veering off the road to avoid hitting a deer because you crossed the solid line. Thatâs literally a thing. Iâm hoping for a good solution that works for everyone.
Not in many years, which is coincidentally about the same time I stopped reading bait posts.
Thatâs good.
Itâs now evening here (Europe) and peakhourâŚ
Around a 2 hour waitâŚ
But in the morning till 11-12 no queueâs.
Late in the evening no queueâs.
In the night no queueâs.
Today for the first time even since launch, there was no queue at all till 1-2 hours before dinnertime.
(On my server)
The days before it was queue 1500-3000 in peakhour.
And queueâs all day. Except for the night.
So things are getting better and better.
At daytime I can logout and if I want to play again an hour later I can login.
Currently (evening, peakhour in Europe) waiting in queue tho haha
Last weekend tho⌠the queueâs were horrible wow
I think our server was one of the servers that some streamer flashed prior to launch, so the first few days were bad as all of their fans were trying to secure spots. Then when they all figured out the streamer was on another server they all bailed. Iâm not positive though I donât know any streamers.
That happened to a lot of servers.
There were streamers with 150.000 viewers with there server name in the steam in the screen!!!
New World should have done something about it.
In almost al prenouncable server names: midgard, asgard, hellheim, valhalla are big streamers. There are even lists on internet wich streamers play on were.
All those streamers just told everybody: I am going to play on this serverâŚ
150.000 viewers
If only 2.5% makes a character on the same server⌠thats a huge amount
AGS is not Amazon, The makers of New World do NOT own the servers. They buy them from Amazon AWS. They are DIFFERENT companies. They did plan for the pre-order numbers and projections based on the number of copies sold. There were LOADS of servers day one, and within 48 hours they doubled the amount of servers as more copies were purchased and queue times grew.
The server i play on is full (Norumbega) and I have seen countless players all fighting for the same resources throughout the entire time ive played. Eventually 2k people will seem âsmallâ for concurrent players. But 2k is only the âonline right nowâ cap. The server hosts way more than that just not at the same time so faction balance is easier if you take into account time zones and such. All in all i feel the world is big, but can be crowded in certain areas with the current amount of people. This may be just due to everyone needing the same stuff at the same time due to the game being so new, could fix itself overtime. For the friends and territory aspect, i get ya, that would be hard to leave and coordinate where to go next. Thats one thing my group of friends are debating right now.
The afk timer is long enough for most people to take care of things in a timely manner. Most games do the same thing, afk kick you for being afk. The issue is coming more around that a LOT of people are trying to beat the afk timer, yes its not the only reason there is a queue, but it adds to the problem. And just a heads up, amazon is banning people who are abusing it. (and not just anyone whos been gone for like 10 extra minutes). One of my discord buddies got perma banned for anti-afking while he was at work. (No im not defending AGS for the queue times, they fucking suck)
The AFK timer went down from 20 min to 10 min I heard todayâŚ
Like 10 min. after launch some servers had already a 9000 queue.
They should have known about all the pre-ordersâŚ
Because if people didnât pre order and bought the game at release time, still need to download it takes 30-60 min⌠not possible.
But the game was so hyped and rushed, everybody wanting to go on the same serversâŚ
No character cap on the servers.
I decided to go on one of the less popular servers like in the middle at launch.
Good choice.
Not for the first days. But now itâs âplayableâ
Yeah most servers did have large queues. But mostly they were the ones people had planned for (streamers, in discord, etc) AGS couldnt help people all going to ONE server when there were plenty of others to choose from. (well they could but people already flaming them about âFULLâ servers now)
I havenât had a queue.
How is deciding you will figure out a way to play the game being a white knight? There are, put simply, ways to play the game you bought. Period. The rest are complaints from people that overestimated the strength of their friendships or are really set on being on their favorite streamerâs server I guess.
If they just magically increase the server cap every thread on here will turn to complaints of unbelievable lag and still âtrillion dollar company canât make better servers!?â
It really surprised me that so many big streamers were announcing âI am going to play on this serverâ.
They even talked about wich server who would be playing on⌠so not all the streamers would be on the same servers. They âclaimedâ servers and they let everybody and all there viewers and followers know. One streamer had 150.000 viewers on launchdayâŚ
Normally streamers dont want to get trolled or streamsniped so⌠weird.
If Amazon knew this before they could have made special streamerservers or something.
Let them wait in queue there with all there viewers lol.
That feels pretty balanced, 2000 people is 20 full companies of 100 and they have 11 territories to fight over. And companies used to be 50 max but they raised it to 100 at some point because people wanted larger companies.
