It is worth understanding that a decreasing playerbase is completely normal for any new game. There are simply a lot of players who try out something when it launches and decide that it isn’t to their taste. Despite this, the rapid rate at which New World‘s playerbase is leaving is a concern.
Why is everyone leaving?
There are several reasons that players are leaving. However, many feel that above all the state of the game at release is the most difficult issue to overlook. Even if it’s not the sole reason, it seems likely that the various bugs and exploits have played a role in the player count of New World falling so quickly.
Arguably the other biggest complaint with New World is that it doesn’t have enough content (something mentioned in our review). This is actually a very normal problem for just about every new MMORPG. Games in this genre take several years to develop during which zero revenue is made. Adding enough content to last would further extend this period of constant financial loss.
