Server queues are lingering big time. I have decided to go on one of the most popular servers, and that is a fact. In less than an hour from the EU server launch, there are already 200,000 players playing the game. It’s a bit nonsensical, but it’s still the best choice for a server that supports many players. Remember that the big server queues can also be caused by people from other regions queueing up on EU just because it’s the first region to open up its servers.
I am not planning on changing my server choice. Instead, I will embrace it. In this way, when players leave their game, I will come back and have a great time playing on a crowded server. Besides that, aren’t we supposed to struggle with the server queues, so we play for a reason once we get in?
To see the number of players online, you can go to the official New World community page on Steam. Once there, you can notice at the top right how many players exactly are playing the game. I don’t remember when I saw an MMORPG on Steam having this number of concurrent players. Roughly said, EU is only 1/6th of the world, and we’re currently sitting at 200,000 players. Amazing.
“Playing the game” is a weird way to spell “waiting in queue”.
Thankfully they have added 28 additional worlds in US east and in EU
