For myself, it feels and plays “nex gen” ( for lack of a better term) The pacing I feel is a bit fast! In under 3 hours a hefty list of craft skills we’re all hitting lvl 10 and I was able to explore a bit well smoothly sailing quest to quest. Crafted a sword twice as powerful in that short time as well. Do not listen to negative reviews if they state Queues are to long HELLO?! This your First MMORPG?Cant believe Launch Day an mmo has queues Grow up or wait two weeks to buy IT’S TO GRINDY” Not sure what genre they believe there playing. I never got players who speed run mmo’s to get to “ENDGAME” There’re missing the entire concept of an mmo such as New World. Advice for them, play Arcadegeddon (cool game) an hour in you’ve unlocked all guns powers, best part you can keep running the same 3 dungeons over and overall day. New World is an mmo as it should be and WAS. A journey for us to live our second life’s . Seek out secrets become the ultimate wizard or blacksmith, heck blacksmith wizard Real estate agent of New world. Mmos have been failing not because they stink because for some odd reason half of the players are lazy and want the game to auto lvl to cap day 1 no more of this put your time in earn your title instead of buying on deluxe version lol. This genre is all about massive worlds begging to be explored, New World uses tons of logical skills to upgrade naturally! Use sword it lvls up chop tree, shoot fire ect.
