The first New World MMO<\/a> patch update (version 1.0.1) goes live at 11 am BST on 6th October and will include a long list of bug fixes, together with revisions of its AFK system, the addition of a confirmation screen for players exiting the World Queue, as well as adding hitscan to turret projectiles in War.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the developers, Amazon Game Studios, did not introduce the highly-anticipated character server transfer<\/a> feature, which was announced after the game was blasted with negative reviews<\/a> resulting from lengthy World Queue times. The developers did, however, note that they have “implemented the groundwork” for it, of which certain elements players may notice in the in-game store.<\/p>\n

According to the developers, the character server transfer feature will be released later this week. “We’re continuing to work on this feature, and will have more information on how the system works later this week when we release server transfers,” the developers noted.<\/p>\n
