Players have been flocking toNew World, one of the newest games in the MMORPG genre. Developed by Amazon Games Studio, the game has become popular for a number of reasons, such as its battle mechanics and setting. Taking place in an alternate 17th century, players work at colonizing a fictional world called Aeternum. While many enjoy the gameplay,New Worldhas had some issues, such as players being unable to transfer characters to other servers. Fortunately, for those wanting to utilize the feature, the developer has listened.
Recently, an update forNew Worldwas released, bringing server transfers to the game. With the addition of server transfers, players can now move from one world to another. This update is a game-changing move from the developer, as it means players, who were locked into a server at release, can now quickly jump to another server to play with friends. It is worth noting that while this update allows players to join other friends’ worlds, they cannot join worlds in other regions. However, this could come in the future from the developer as well.

The developer revealed that the process of adding the server transfer feature had been a priority since the game launched. According to the patch notes, the feature had been tested extensively by the developers at Amazon Games for the last 2 weeks. While the update initially became available in the Asia-Pacific Southeast region, it has since rolled out to all other areas, meaning everyone should be able to move between worlds now. Recently, the developer shared a video of a player jumping from one server to another in only a few seconds.
In the patch notes for the update, the developer listed the steps necessary to complete a server transfer. First, the player needs to log into their character. Once this is accomplished, they must go to the in-game store and claim the character transfer token. According to the developer, the player then needs to leave their current Company and remove allTrading Post sell and buy orders. After completing these few steps, the player is required to travel to a sanctuary location to finish the transfer.
Fortunately, players can breathe a sigh of relief as almost everything earned before the transfer is saved. Some things that transfer overinclude houses and decorations, inventory and storage, currency, character progression, and all quest progress. The few items that fail to carry over to the new server include Company membership and Trading Post orders (these must be terminated before transferring), along with friends lists since they are world-specific.
It’s exciting to see requested features get added topopular games likeNew World. Hopefully, the implementation of this new feature goes well for the many players anxious to use it.
