I think New World going from 913,000 players to 20,000 in a few months cannot be hand-waved away as merely the new shiny wearing off. If they'd dropped even to 100,000 players, I could buy that line but 20K is just ridiculous. Keeping only 2% of your players for a few months is terrible.
If they have 40,000 players 6 months from now that would be an indication that they're starting to do something right.
It is a title worth saving - and honestly, with so few players they've room to experiment some - I hope they pull it together.
This is what happenes when you cater to the PvE power quester, story guy. Once quests and story are over they leave. You cant make content fast enough or good enough to please them.
really though developers know this. This why they pump and dump on them all the time. AWESPOME STORIEZ NEW QEUSTA CRAFTIN MONSTURS
Take potbs as a prime example my guess is that it has between 100-200 active players. Somehow the server light is still on and they have even improved the server tech. PvP centric game where the PVE crowd can still help their Nation out.
So my short answer is it is really up to you. And what you want.
I am a scizo misanthrope. So one day I may go BANZAI on your post. Have not yet though. Maybe there is hope? Nah there is really none for me or the human race.
