New World server maintenance schedule: Server merging list

Amazon's MMORPG New World has been going through ups and downs since the game's release in September when it peaked at over 900,000 concurrent players on launch day.

Three months later the game has fallen under 100,000 concurrent players for the first time since its release, which was the result of various problems such are poor balance, uninteresting end game content, numerous exploits, bugs and glitches, and other issues.

Despite somewhat regular updates and patches, the game still struggles to maintain its player base, and the game's gradual decline in the number of players has led to server issues due to the way New World's "worlds" are structured.

New World had dozens (if not hundreds) of servers at launch with 2,000 concurrent player caps, and back at launch Amazon Games advised players to make their characters on the lower populated servers to avoid long queues.

That advice has backfired as now many of the lower populated serves are all but empty, and the remaining players cant find enough other players to play the game properly.

As a response to this issue, Amazon Games has decided to start merging worlds in order to overcome the issue with low player numbers on some servers.
