No because the people that are already on the server don’t want to wait in really long queues just cause you want to.
I understand your point. But i’m sorry to say you’re wrong. It’s been 24hours since PEAK population on most of the locked servers, and numbers aren’t even close to the same.
Thats not why amazon isn’t unlocking them. They’re not unlocking them out of sheer incompetence.

This is the worst money maker I’ve ever seen in an mmo.
Seriously if they wona make loads of money then they sell stuff we can use in game that enhances us ie pay to win.
Selling transfer tokens is a piss take because they will hype new fresh start servers for example then lock half your crew out hoping they will later buy a token to transfer.
Massive scam
We have a weekend coming up after fresh servers release. I’m pretty sure they are expecting pretty big numbers this weekend to where those servers that are below max today, likely will not be in a few days. A decision that totally makes sense if they see those servers have very large total characters count. If they opened them up, then there is a very good chance that the queues this weekend could be crazy.
They gave out free transfer tokens with the last major merges, I’m sure they would again. So it wouldn’t make any money
Again, I understand your point. But honestly after all the mistakes amazon has made, I’m 100% leaning the way of incompetence vs an actual reason for it.
Yes, everything you said makes sense if its accurate, however I don’t think it is. The original 4 servers were hammered hard, then locked. Guarantee a giant number of them jumped ship to other servers to join friends, resulting in population decline on the locked servers.
If you read the forums there are tons of people complaining some of the locked servers feel like ghost servers already.
I’ve played over three thousand hours in this game and have spent $40 to play. If AGS is money grabbing, they are really really bad at it.
Agreed, I’m at about 2800 hours, they really aren’t super money grabbing. I’ve never felt that about amazon.

They are really bad at making an mmo full stop. I guess they just bad overall
They are good at making MMOs just terrible at managing their servers.

This was literally one of the best MMO’s I’ve ever played.
But repeated incompetence by the Dev team has led to one of the largest flops ever in the MMO genre.

I personally appreciate them taking the cautious approach to protect the current population on the servers. To do otherwise would be reckless. I know it’s not an easy decision because of situations like yours. But they are looking out for the people currently on servers. Give it a week I would imagine they will unlock them once they see how fresh starts play out. And I’m someone who was locked out of my friends server at launch for 3 weeks. I’ve been in your situation. But that was so long ago and I had a great time ever since I got on their server.

No they are not money grabbing but they do need to make some money to keep it all going however they are doing the worst possible way of making the money.
Buying a transfer token so that I can play with friends is a massive scam. Even RuneScape that’s been out for far too long does not charge for transfer and actually does the servers properly.
Fast forward to 2022 and here comes new world with ancient money making methods. And to be honest although I love this game their code feels ancient as well.
Enough people are buying the game to pay staff but if they want more then go hard at selling skins and other non pay to win items such as housing items
Nah they won’t make you buy a transfer token. Just like at launch, and after the first server merges they would give out a free transfer token
They are terrible at making an mmo.
Absolutely terrible.
But I will say the look of the game is amazing top notch.
The scaling of everything terrible
Systems terrible
Lack of bug fixing terrible
Massive hypes for new gems or whatever and complete in one day terrible
Story same old missions terrible
Lack of understanding their own systems and how they effect the player terrible
The list could go on for days

I don’t understand why they’re doing this. Last night they opened Myrddin for a few hours, I got some friends in. Then it’s locked again, we’re still trying to get more friends in. They should want customers because we were gonna get brand new players into New World. People are honestly going to get a refund if they can’t play with us.
Like please AGS what are you doing, why is Myrddin (and many others) locked when they are nowhere near full.

I’d have to agree they are terrible at making an mmo, if they were good you wouldn’t be able to brute force your way into being able to play on a locked server.
I just want to be clear, I 100% agree with what you’re saying. Provided those are the reasons things are being done, they’re good reasons sure.
But I just can’t trust amazon’s Incompetence. Even right now, they just sit and ignore all the people on the forums, twitter, and reddit asking about the locked servers. It would take all of 5minutes for a dev to write a post about
WHY They’re locked, the plan for the locked servers, and recommendations on what we should do.
Some of my friends are already 10-18hours into the new server, they don’t wanna restart already again… And on that same note, I don’t wanna grind/lvl on another server if i’ll never be able to transfer to join my friends.
lol does that actually work?
my friend was super desperate and tried, he couldn’t get it to go.
