New World’s hugely successful launch saw servers grind to a halt as players flocked to the game. Servers were filled, and long queues spiralled for hours. Several weeks out from the launch, and players are considering server transfers, particularly across regions.
In a post on the official forums that expanded on a recent update, New World Community Manager Luxendra outlined some more restrictions on transfers.
The restrictions described included:
- Only one free transfer per account (Meaning only a single character will be able to be transferred)Transfers will only work within regionTransfers will not go to Any server as originally mentionedYou cannot transfer a character to a server where you already have a character
This is a huge blow to many players who’ve awaited the chance to transfer with friends in other regions. European and US players are restricted from playing each other. Even players within the Continental United States, as the US East and US West servers, are restricted from transferring.
