The developers addressed the problems through the official Twitter account. Thanking fans for their support (and patience), the tweet states “the team is working hard to get [the problems] addressed and get everyone in and playing.” Predictably, responses to the tweet include New World players complaining about their specific wait times. Several claims of multi-hour wait times can be found.
The New World team is doing more than working on the problems, though — it’s also looking to make it up to its players for this hiccup. A follow-up tweet includes a message about server and character changes. First, the team is planning “to stand up additional servers and expand the capacity of existing servers once [it has] properly tested these changes.” More servers would certainly mean less bottle-necking of players looking to get in.
Once you do get into a New World server, we have plenty of tips for starting your journey. If you like crafting, then poultry and feathers are going to be very useful. If you’re ready to work together with other New World players, then you’ll need to know how to make a company.
