That'll not be an issue in 3 months when the bulk of the players have moved on to new games. Of course, whether the game has staying power will only be figured out then. :/

New World looks very average. FFXIV on the other hand is amazing.

If here's looking for a time sink he would be though.

I don't understand why everyone keeps saying FFXIV is so good.

I tried it and started a new character months ago and it has the most boring starter experience I've seen. And I've played all the big MMORPGS.

Yeah, play XIV.

Sure, the start is kinda slow but if you get into it, you're hooked.

New World is weird... pretty much everything you do at the start is the same stuff you'll be doing at max level, even with the same mobs. It'll be curious how it holds up once most people realize it.

It's amongst like the worst experiences I've played in a game that other people actually said was good, lmao.
It's really appalling how bad it is with extremely boring easy combat and an absolutely AWFUL main story quest, and none of this gets better for dozens and dozens of hours.
The MSQ used to be *even worse* if you can believe it - they removed several filler fed-ex tier quests, but there's still plenty a decent amount of just garbage.

E: On the main topic re NW, it doesn't look stellar unless you're into grinding gathering-crafting/life-skills a la Runescape with a combat system alongside a...I dunno, sort of elder scrolls online combat thingy. I haven't seen anything that actually impresses me, and Amazon's vision for it is prolly little given how much they've flip flopped on its design, going from huge PvP to whatever it is now.

New World seems like some weird hybrid between a traditional MMO and a sandbox game. You have quests and a story and levels, but you also spend a lot of time chopping trees and skinning animals. I think they are also doing a 100% player driven economy - everything goes on a marketboard rather than selling vendor trash to NPCs, which will probably significantly impact longevity.
