" The New World team has disabled character creation on all regions. "
I never heard of devs doing THAT before..... has this ever happened in other games?
Not certain but didn't FFXIV do that before? Or was that just sales....
They only do it for the busiest servers and often during peak time. in off-peak hours you can still create characters, except for the bussiest servers that are simply at population cap.
They have never disabled character creation globally on all servers. They did however stop sales in December, after the release of Endwalker expansion and all regions experiencing unacceptable long queues and disconnects.
What New World devs are doing now is bad practice, as if there is such a serious problem that they need to take those drastic steps, they should stop at least all digital sales until further notice.
But then again. This dev team has been a disaster from it's inception, with an endless pile of cluster F'-up's and mistakes. This is just another F'-up to add to the ever growing list of this whole disaster.
At some point, they'll do a full wipe of the database to clean up after the many duping bugs and other catastrophes. That will make everyone start over from scratch. And then the economy will be ruined by another duping bug a week later.
I think you are joking, but that may happen. The team have shown a habit of taking drastic action which causes further problems. Stopping transfers won't cause any new problems, but wiping potentially could. We live in a gaming age where more and more games (both solo and multiplayer) are releasing as EA when it says launch on the tin. I cannot predicate when but this is rapidly becoming the gaming norm.

No, they really won't.
Most likely will offer fresh start servers at some point in the future, New World Reborn perhaps?

WHY is no one concerned at all about New World's butt problem? Am I the only one that cares?
"...the butt problem and RMT spam still remain to some degree."
edit: Personally, my character's butt is all nice and toned since I regularly run across zones carrying well over 1000 pounds on my back. Doesn't help with the RMT spam though.

Most ridiculous thing I have ever heard...Going from server transfers before the game has hardly even launched to disabling character creation....It gives the impression that this company has no clue what they are doing.

They should disable people from buying the game then. The fact they would disable character creation is insane. Technically this move even violates Steam's ToS.

Yes, but it is rarely done.

This said, character creation is active again since 7+ hours now. It was turned off for approximately 6 hours...

You should get out more often.
Just a suggestion.
