The problem with new MMOs is that nobody wants to sink time into something that has an 80% chance of being shuttered in a few years

First mistake those gamers made was trusting Amazon.

Oh yeah, I vaguely recall Amazon made an mmo.

Would like to remind people about: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/

Nothing soured me from NW much like the obvious resource gathering bots and the fishing bots constantly casting and retracting their lure because they could see the fish to be caught ahead of time because of bad code.

I played for a month or so when it first came out. I got the game for free, as I had pre-ordered it several years prior when it was first announced. It was originally going to be a monthly subscription, so they had the game listed for no cost for pre-orders for the initial week or so, then they decided to switch to a paid copy of the game and no monthly cost. Those who added it to their account during the initial announcement at $0 got to keep it.

I even got to play the beta a little before the official launch, and I could have played the alpha before that if I had remembered the game existed.

It is a beautifully rendered game, but the storyline felt lacking. Also, I've never really played an mmo before this one for any substantial length of time, so it might just not be my style of game. But I didn't find it very engaging, aside from the visuals and the soundtrack which were both great.

The only MMOs I don't return to are the ones whose companies / publishers do this sort of BS.

Surprised it took that long ngl, the game especially at the start was a dumpster fire that lost 95% of it's players in like a couple if months

Amazon is greedy? Nobody could have known that back when new World released.

Not surprised but unfortunate. Me and my friend were playing it for awhile, but you couldn't share quests so we ended up dropping it after maybe a week since we barely could actually play together.

Don't know the game but that was annoying how the article didn't mention when it was released. What a young game lol.

I had to Google as I thought this was another mmo from when I worked in the industry. I guess this means names are a bit generic (I got out of that industry in 2013). This is not one I'm familiar with. (I used to work on fan sites and tools to plot mob locations and quest items on maps and the like. Not the bad ones that had account/currency selling and such; we banned those people)
