New World on Server Merges and Server Cap Increase 'There is Never a Moment We Don't Think About It' | MMORPG.com
Now that New World has officially past its initial new game surge, and free server transfers are available for all players, some in the community have requested that, instead of free transfers, New World should begin server merges. The thread went on to speak about the possibility of a server cap increase, and when players might expect such a change to take place.

OK, maybe next year around this time.

They have nothing to do with Lost Ark, just the publishers. It plays great right now.
Amazon hasn't demonstrated any great prowess in managing a MMO launch so I wouldn't be too confident just yet.

have to agree with this one.
I guess i will give it another go when things get fixed and the classic servers come out.
Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
I hate to agree with this since I do like the 'grind' of the game, but right now, it does feel like they need to 'start over' with a new client, especially since the problems just keep compounding themselves. The servers as they are now are too lopsided in terms of resources and money (which I mean, there are those with a surplus of things they shouldn't have and will only have a large strangle hold over markets even if things level off in the future). They also have more and more backlogging to do in terms of compensations which can really make or break a lot of people if they screw it up. So its just easier for them to just stop 'adding' things to the game, put up a proper PTS for a few months, and just do optional clean servers at the start to build up trust again.
New World was released at good time- WoW was going downhill, people were looking new MMORPG and nothing was really on horizon except New World. Problem is that once the newness wears off New World is just below average game. Even if it had no bugs it would be still losing player, because people will reach max level and leave because the gameplay is boring. WoW has 9-40 man complex and challenging raids. Why would anyone choose New World 5 man boring dungeons over what. PVP? No. ESO and GW2 are doing much better job in that department. Housing? Prolly Fallout 76 or FF is doing much better in that department. New World essentially bring nothing to table.
At this point I don't really see how New World could complete in market. My money is on that next year we wont be thinking about New World. And maybe on first anniversary they will release New World: Reborn, what has essentially reworked skills and endgame.

Fresh start servers are an idea I forwarded here, I'm sure others came up with it elsewhere.
Server mergers have always been part of the plan per the company's own spokesperson quoted in the OP.
“Hey there, world merges are on the horizon, but require additional scale testing before we are confident enough to use the tech on the live worlds. As you can imagine given the first few rocky weeks, we are using an over abundance of caution here.
Keep an eye out in the official news area for an update from our Community Managers on this in the near future.

PvE game. Max cap no content, plus bugs, they leave in droves back to WoW.
