New World Introduces Free World Transfers in Response to High Queue Times
New World, Amazon Games' flagship MMORPG, has announced a limited-time test of a new in-game feature aimed at enhancing the user experience on congested worlds. This comes in the wake of the game's latest expansion, Rise of the Angry Earth, which has seen a surge in player numbers and consequently, longer queue times.
If you jumped back into New World for their latest expansion, then you probably were met with queues if you reside on popular servers. Due to this, Amazon Games has decided to include a new feature that will allow players to initiate a free World Transfer directly from the Character Selection screen during peak queue times. To access this feature, players will simply need to select the «options» button near their desired character. However, there are some restrictions. Transfers can only be made to non-Full/Fresh Start worlds within the player's existing region, meaning no cross-region transfers will be available.
This first test specifically targeted the US East region on 10/13/2023 from 6 pm to 9 pm PDT, and ha since concluded. Amazon Games encouraged many players to participate with the developer’s primary goal for success being an extensive monitoring of back-end service performance.
