Zaccaiah (@Zaccaiah) reported@playnewworld Get on the horn with Papa Bezos and work on giving all of us a refund. I'm sure that was the plan since you've removed the game for purchase and are completely shutting the servers down, right? Only right that you do so. Do the right thing, not the profitable one.

Rayleightt (@rayleightt) reported@playnewworld We spent real money on New World. Amazon released a major update just 1 month before shutting the game down. That’s not service ending that’s misleading players into spending more. This deserves refunds or compensation. #NewWorld #AmazonGame

Fora di Contexto 🗣️ (@ForaDiContexto) reported@playnewworld The game is unplayable right now. I've been playing since the new content was released, and in about two hours today I've crashed eight times without making any changes to my computer or game settings. FIX YOUR GAME!

TheFITHOtaku (@TheFITHOtaku) reported@playnewworld and @amazongames, I believe I speak for every #NewWorld player when I say, ADD MORE SERVERS AND FIX THE QUEUES! US West is a constant 2k queue ALL DAY. Server Queues on US East are RIDICULOUS. Longest one I was in was 8k for US East Valhalla >_>;... @YaBoiWiilly BRO

Azrial (@AzrialNeph) reported@MangoxLocoAU @playnewworld It's a close range build but can be an issue against bow warlords haha.

Bob1234x (@Bob1551x) reported@playnewworld I would love to play but there is always 1 hour waits to log in to my characters. you will lose me if you dont fix this crap
-
Spam (@Spamsum) reported@LSXYZ9 @playnewworld combat and social elements were great (but lots of drama) but honestly it was clear that the devs didn't play their own game. many systems didnt work, things would break patch to patch and then be left broken for months at a time. VERY frustrating for the playerbase

Ziang (@Ziang85045937) reported@RealLucarioTV @NyceGamingYT @playnewworld Nah not every. FF14 is alive. Gw2 is alive. ESO is alive. Problem is...the game just had too many problems. I played it myself at launch and i bit my *** that my friends kept me over 2 hours so i couldn't refund on steam...it was just not that good...maybe it changed but...well
-
Genadine (@Genadine1) reported@SavvvoGames @JeffBezos @playnewworld Games with a PvP core environment are always going to be niche, add to that an awful launch and it was always going to be an uphill struggle. Then comes along AI which will fix absolutely nothing but is CHEAP and there you go. Suits see money money money.

Cas8spyder (@cas8spyder) reported@playnewworld East Server Empi is down. Keeps crashing and unable to get on. Sat in queue 3 times with about 500 on average than gets a connection error to start over again.
-
Noah🗝️ (@VexxPK) reported@rozilol @playnewworld Now is broken right now
-
Essa (@EssaEssa1210662) reported@playnewworld still there is lagging in the game
-
David Fedor (@DavidFedor6) reported@playnewworld So basically they are shutting the servers down at the end of 2026 but still allowing people to make in game purchases of their "premium" currency. Unreal.
-
Tame Token (@tametoken) reported@playnewworld More players would complete the raid if you fixed Gems not working in armor.
-
Goo (@Goo_Gurt_) reported@GrumpyPawsTV @playnewworld If they release private servers, I'll fix the game.
-
NRT (@OfficialMr_NRT) reported@dev_katyk @playnewworld There appears to be an issue with Easy Anti-Cheat issuing permanent bans without a clear reason. Multiple players have been affected, often receiving a ban message on the main menu after a long period of inactivity. Please Help!
-
Dermi (@0603_luke) reported@Haoshoku @LSXYZ9 @playnewworld But release was *** in any way. 1 year after the release they started to fix everything and the game was awesome. But no Promo, Not even for the add-on
-
imjustkentaro (@im_just_kentaro) reportedStill at a loss for words over what #amazon did to #playnewworld. I thought maybe they would have shut it down years ago but to release this huge new update and make a solid effort to fix a lot of the issues with the game only to rugpull everyone is baffling.
-
BagginsTV (@BagginsTV) reported@ShultsyPlays @playnewworld That's not honest, it's jaded. The engine the devs were forced the use was a mess of spaghetti code (which is what caused a significant number of the bugs and issues) and they had Amazon execs stifling every creative choice they wanted to make in the name of maximising profit. Many, many things were mishandled throughout this game's life, and there is a whole lot of things that could and should've been better, but I'll die on the hill that the core dev team - the creatives, vfx artists, etc and the developers, system/mechanics/combat designers etc, were not the issue.
-
Anemyre (@COGs_Anemyre) reported@bswagz88 @playnewworld This game still had a healthy player base. The issue comes down to Amazon owning it. They have no idea what they're doing in the gaming space and they're soulless, only looking at cost/benefit. Now that tech is cutting fat, it was inevitable the floundering game division would be cut
-
big research (@bigresearch99) reportedAmazon is going to pay a long term price for shutting down New World @playnewworld - Not just one game, its a long term broken promise. You take money as people build up their accounts, then abandon them. Forget @playtlgame - People will quit/avoid that too. Forget future games.
-
Matheus “Cursed” Almeida (@TheusAlmeidaa) reported@playnewworld Fix the servers! 5k people on SA servers, i just cant play at night.
-
Bongglemania | Ottertuber📿🦦 | VtuberEN (@Bongglemania) reportedI think with the announcement of @playnewworld shutting down i'm in a place where im done sparing peoples feelings around it. New world had technical problems but in the end its community sentenced it to death. I played 1400 hours as a PvE
-
Motcoeur (@Motcoeuriz) reported@playnewworld @dev_katyk When fix boltcaster artifact ignore all résistance elemental ! And pvp balanced its didnt work too .
-
ᛏᚱᛁᛋᛏᚨᚾ 💍 (@tcubd) reported@Sensiblelogic06 @S_Berry_82 @playnewworld 50k peak this month. If player numbers were a problem it would have been canceled when it was averaging 8k months over month 3 years ago. Stop defending corporate greed.

R41D3NZ (@R41D3NZ) reportedHey @dev_katyk @playnewworld can you fix the afk kicking in arenas? I can’t even use shooters stance without being kicked for afk. It’s way too aggressive.

RespawnX (@XRespawn1) reported@playnewworld For us aussies Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), digital games must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and match their description/promises (e.g., ongoing live-service MMO).If a shutdown makes it unfit/unplayable contrary to what was promised, it's a potential major failure → entitling refund/replacement (overrides "no refund" policies).
