“We know how important it is to be able to play with friends, so we’re putting this feature at the top of our priority list.” Then, the official New World Twitter account said players would be able to move between regions, for example switching from a US server to an EU one. This tweet is still live, at the time of this article’s publication. And so, sufficiently reassured, players went for pretty much any server they could join - even those in another region - in a bid to avoid New World’s incredibly long queue times. Why not, when they were told it would be fine to do so? Some players who picked a low popular server in a region outside that played on by their friends said they felt stuck - and complained about wasted time. Affected players faced a tough decision: stick with the character they’d levelled up but couldn’t use to play with their friends, or start all over again with a character on the server their friends were on - assuming it wasn’t full. “There is potential, yes, and we are working on it now. Cannot provide an ETA because it is a very different process, but when we realised we had created confusion on this, we felt we owed it to the community to find a solution.” “Unfortunately this will not be in the first release of transfers, but it is coming as soon as we can get it completed.”
