![]() New World’s main problem is that the design is a dog’s breakfast. The game was poorly conceived at the baseline – which is unfortunate because some of the gameplay was actually fun. The entire concept of making a “hardcore only” MMO using AAA budget was one of the dumbest ideas an MMO publisher ever greenlit, and watching it crash and burn was satisfying, especially given the ongoing, ridiculous statements of Frost during the whole process. On the substance, I think there are similarities to Wildstar, but in Wildstar’s case it was a really badly conceived game to begin with. My guess, though, is that this accelerates, at least a bit, with the new games coming next month (Elden Ring and Lost Ark). ![]() My read is that it isn’t in steep decline any longer, but in slow leak mode currently. Instead it was just more or less steady/stagnant. The problem is that, as noted, there was no boost during the holiday, when there ought to have been. ![]() Yeah when I look at the last month (Dec 12 to Jan 12) it looks pretty stable to me – average is down 5k on roughly 100k … not a massive decline there.
