New World Patch 1.0.3 Introduces Server Transfers; Rollout to Begin with Asian Pacific Servers

Amazon Games is pushing patch 1.0.iii on New World live servers this forenoon, activating the highly anticipated character server transfers in the process. Due to the high demand (the game peaked at about i million concurrent users on Steam seventeen days ago) at launch, players experienced extremely long queues in nigh servers and therefore some were forced to create their characters on low population servers so that they may play at all. This, however, fractured guilds and actor groups, now stranded on different servers and unable to play together. The grapheme server transfer feature is meant to bring anybody back where they want to be.

The rollout won't be firsthand everywhere, though. There volition exist a live test in the Asian Pacific Southeast region first.

We've been hard at piece of work on the feature and testing it for the past ii weeks, but because this feature is brand new we have decided to have a prophylactic, incremental approach to rolling out transfers to all New World players.

When all worlds are back online from reanimation, our plan is to monitor the framework we created without turning transfers on immediately. One time nosotros have confirmed that the framework holds upwardly at scale, nosotros will turn on grapheme server transfers in the Utopia world kickoff, in the AP Southeast region. Nosotros will closely monitor transfers in this world, and if annihilation out of the ordinary occurs our team will need to make manual interventions. If all goes well, we will turn it on for the rest of the AP Southeast region, and continue monitoring. If after 8 hours our squad hasn't discovered any issues, we will fully deploy character server transfers to the other regions.

All New World accounts will receive only i free server transfer token, and so y'all'll want to choose carefully where you're going next. Amazon said it'll evaluate the situation to cheque for the potential demand for another wave of complimentary server tokens.

As a reminder, yous won't exist able to transfer your graphic symbol to a total earth, or to a earth set where yous already take another grapheme. Earlier activating the transfer, make certain to remove any active Trading Post sell or buy orders,

As a thank-you gesture to all New World players, Amazon is granting everyone the 'Stoic' in-game title, in addition to a free 'Waiting' emote that can be grabbed via the in-game store.
