NW is generic boring and bland !!
I haven't posted once in eleven pages because of this. I've watched every review and many game plays and have yet to see a SINGLE FEATURE !!.... I've read most every post here looking for a good feature and have yet to read ANYTHING APPEALING.
Follow this logic,
If the player hasn't played ESO or FF14 beforehand why play something so generic as New World first. After all what does this game have to offer other than being new ?..... Certainly not graphics because its eight to ten years more recent, and still nothing cutting edge in that department.
Seems populated simply because nothing has been released in a very long time. All this tells me players are STARVING FOR AN MMORPG.
Is their a single feature ?..... Any at all ?

This is the overview here on mmorpg.com.... Amazing how they can have several paragraphs of NO FEATURES
Hats off to the writer that can make something out of nothing.
New World is a massively multiplayer, open-ended sandbox MMO set in a cursed and supernatural version of Northern America in the 17th century. Players can be anything they want from farmers to soldiers to lone wolves, as what you do, and whom you work with or against is entirely up to you. The land of New World will be evolving one that changes with the seasons, weather, and time of day.
You can work with others to reclaim monster-haunted wilds and build new civilizations. Or if you'd prefer, you can go solo, surviving in the face of horrific monsters and blood-thirsty player bandits. New World is focused on emergent gameplay with rich social features – including Twitch integration with broadcaster-led events, achievements, and rewards.
Explore a thrilling, open-world MMO filled with danger and opportunity where you'll forge a new destiny for yourself as an adventurer shipwrecked on the supernatural island of Aeternum. Endless opportunities to fight, forage, and forge await you among the island's wilderness and ruins. Channel supernatural forces or wield deadly weapons in a classless, real-time combat system, and fight alone, with a small team, or in massed armies for PvE and PvP battles—the choices are all yours.
FEATURES
For thousands of years, Aeternum has been the source of fantastical legends—and now you’ve found it. Shipwrecked and without supplies or allies, you’ll need to make your way in a dangerous world where supernatural power has changed all the rules. In such a land, your destiny is whatever you make of it.
Aeternum's mysteries run as deep and dark as its history. Delve into the world and uncover the secret truth of the island and its millennia of strange inhabitants. As you explore Aeternum, you’ll discover beauty, danger, and opportunity at every turn. You'll need to use all your skills to take advantage of the island's bounty—and survive its horrors.
Arm yourself with brutal melee weapons, ranged artillery, or supernatural powers and jump into New World's classless, real-time action combat system. As you progress you'll be able to determine what you want your gameplay experience to be like—will you act as a protective shield on the front lines of battle? Will you sling spells to support your allies from a safe distance? Only you can decide.
At the core of the New World’s social features are the three factions, organizations of like-minded players and non-player characters with their own motives and schemes for the island's future. It is as a member of one of these factions that you'll wage war and claim, defend, and develop your territory.

Player roles seem dependent on their gear, much like ESO but without any class dependence, one can re-spec into any role for optimal performance which isn't the case in ESO.
The 50 on 50 wars determine who controls a region who in turn get to set tax rates and presumably collect the gold from them.
Reminiscent of Lineage 2 where castle owners could do the same, but those wars required hundreds vs hundreds, castles didn't change hands very often and were limited to guild vs server as there were no factions.
I think at this point in time it is truly challenging for developers to come up with totally new ideas or features which haven't been done before in some fashion without coming across as gimmicky or had been avoided in the past for good reason.
Thing is, games are a sum of their features and in combination can make for a fun experience for some while not being to the liking of others.
This combination also determines the games retention rates, spread by word of mouth and many other things. Subtle alterations can increase it's popularity over time, or send the numbers plummeting.
Marketing of course plays a big factor, especially in a games initial success, but let's face it, no amount of marketing was going to save Crowfall, it's designs were just too far from the popular norm and it's execution was somewhat poor, at least from my outside observation.
One day after they get the kinks worked out I'll probably try NW, assuming not course they actually make an attempt to improve things which I think they'll be trying to do over the coming year.

2024: 47 years on the Net.
I want you to think about a worse case scenario and how this fits in with the butterfly way players play MMOs now days; they dip in, play a few months and leave until there is a dlc. The worst case would be a dramatic loss of playerbase but they have already paid their B2P, so the money is in. The drop in future sales would hit them but at some stage a dlc will come along and players will come back.
With so many players talking about "game rotations" and the like do you need to make a MMORPG that you can live in? Why not make one that is frontloaded as most players won't even stay for half a year? That's a problem we have now if like me you play one MMO at a time, is anyone still making them the way we like?
Do you ever think will get our own bathroom in major department stores like Target ?
Were just not telling you..... Remember everyone don't tell quigonginNtionic
Things have changed, I'm tellin' ya.
Once upon a time....
People pay $40 for a game then try to sell gold? I could see if it was f2p.
Bland, repetitive, same ol same ol type of Sandbox MMO that doesn't really excel at anything it does. As I said in other threads, it may change in the future but right now all the hype around this game isn't warranted at all.
But, be careful Delete having your own opinion is dangerous around here apparently.

Currently: Games Audio Engineer, you didn't hear what I heard, you heard what I wanted you to hear.
For people saying they will play in a few months. Be prepared for a completely broken economy which is what made this game somewhat fun early game. Resource gathering was a big plus early game.
This game has nowhere left to go but down. I seriously don't see them able to fix some serious design flaws in a time frame that will matter.
