Amazon Games confirms MMO New World has a year left before it goes offline permanently
(www.videogameschronicle.com)
I actually really like it. I can't remember if I got the game for free or relatively cheap. But it scratched the itch that Elder Scrolls Online had. In other words, it fulfills the itch I used to have when I played WoW nonstop as a kid, while also being more "action-y", and you can play it solo with hundreds of other people playing it solo.
I don't remember if there was a subscription or microtransactions were aggressive. But I do remember spending 2 months straight just going around chopping wood.
I remember quitting it because there was nothing to really DO with that wood.
