The much-awaited server mergers in New World began earlier this month, helping reduce ghost servers where only a few players populate the world, making it a dreary affair for everyone. The previous mergers were just the start and now we have a whole list of worlds that will be combined, allowing for a greater degree of interaction amongst players. However, this comes with the downtime required to implement the update.
The update will merge the worlds from US East, US West, Australia, and Central Europe, focusing on boosting the population and engagement. The list of worlds nominated for mergers is long, as many fans have complained about the reduced player base affecting the experience. Central Europe and US East will have the most mergers, which means players from those reasons won’t be able to log in while the maintenance is underway.
Given the larger number of mergers set to happen, it appears that Amazon is taking all the player complaints of not having much to do in the game very seriously. Hopefully, the mergers will shake things up enough for the players and breathe new life into the worlds.
The downtime in the UK and Ireland will happen at midnight and 1 AM for the rest of Central Europe. Other regions can expect the update around 9 PM GMT. Once players log back in, they will see that the world looks very different, as the territory has been redistributed to accommodate for the differences in the world.
As elaborated on the FAQ page, the devs are making sure to merge compatible worlds that have a reasonably similar layout in terms of territory. However, they have mentioned that this will not always be possible, so one side will notice changes to their territory.
Their characters, companies, housing, gold, and owned items should remain intact, but territory ownership and contracts will not persist on the new world
