If you’ve read my previous articles, you’d know I’ve talked about New World a few times.

For those who haven’t heard of it, New World is an action combat MMORPG developed by Amazon Game Studios.

I’ve been playing New World since its release in September 2021.

It was the first MMORPG I’ve ever played, which means I didn’t have a frame of reference for the quality of the game.

Initially, the game was very popular, with around a million active players.

But as time went on, the player base kept on shrinking.

At the time of writing this, the 24-hour peak was around 23,000 players, according to Steam Charts.

There were multiple reasons the player base quit New World.

One of the main reasons was the plethora of bugs and exploits present throughout the whole game.

It took a while for the developers to fix all the issues, and adequate action was not taken against the exploiters.
