New World: Amazons MMO loses almost half of his players - what is it?

After a strong start with overcrowded servers, Amazons MMO New World now has to ask a new problem: the player number has broken down dramatically in recent weeks. There could be several reasons for this development.

Amazon s New World has a rather exciting first month behind: After the launch on September 28, the MMO could look forward to a great player s crowd, sometimes even the servers completely overpowered. Meanwhile, has almost halved the number of active players - although the game continues to be represented in the top 3 of Steam charts.

NEW WORLD: Popular, but with problems

The Hype about New World is still in full swing - since the launch, the MMO almost week for week is considered the top 5 of Steam sales charts with a largely positive rating of more than 140,000 players. Nevertheless, an analysis of Forbes shows that the number of active players between the 3rd and 23rd of October has quasi-halved in the peak times - and from 913,000 players has fallen to 508,000 players.

Although it is completely normal for new games that after an initial hype the gameship breaks a little, halving is a pretty dramatic waste. Reason for the Currently hesitant player behavior could be the numerous bugs, who have always worried about problems since the launch: At the weekend, for example, a new dialogue glitch occurred, the player took another out of the game.
