New World - Amazon Games Found Temporary Solutions for Full Servers
New World has been struggling with insufficient server capacity since the release. Amazon Games decided to create blockades on overcrowded worlds and launched a tool to fight against people remaining „AFK”.
- New World users are still waiting many hours to join the game;
- Amazon Games wants to reduce queues by blocking new players from creating characters on overcrowded servers;
- The developers have found a way to deal with people who remain "AFK" (Away From Keyboard) to stay in the game.
Since last week, New World has been one of the hottest topics on the web lately. The popularity of Amazon Games' work has exploded, something neither the developers nor the game's infrastructure were prepared for.
Long queues have become a plague in New World, so the developers decided to act, introducing temporary solutions to the problem of overcrowded servers.
New World will block the option to create new characters on overcrowded servers
Amazon Games once again admitted that it is aware of the problems that affect users of the game. According to the information posted on Twitter, the developers are doing everything to expand the number of available servers and increase their capacity. However, before that they will prevent new players from creating heroes on overcrowded worlds.
Affected servers will be grayed out and a message will inform about the temporary block. The solution will not affect users who have created their characters before. The list of overcrowded worlds can be checked on the official website.
Amazon Games will solve the problem of "AFK" players
The studio condemned the actions of users who used various means to stay logged in while away from the computer ("AFK"), including using macros or putting things on keys to keep the character in constant motion. Recognizing the frustration of those waiting to join the game, the developers decided to introduce a new tool to detect unwanted actions and then take the discovered player to the main screen.. The devs also announced that more decisive steps will be taken if this does not reduce the scale of the problem.
The news did not meet with great enthusiasm among the users of Reddit. Many of them do not think that players are to blame. In their opinion, the developers should make sure that every person who bought New World should be able to freely launch the title. After all, no one wants to wait a few hours to re-enter because during the game he had to go for a short walk with the dog or prepare something to eat.
Currently a character can remain motionless for 25 minutes before being forced to leave the server.
