@CharlesLothbro1 We don't currently have any information to share regarding what the final form of character names will be. I'm happy to let the team know it's a question that's being asked, however.
@Cmeckz Thanks for the encouragement and support. The team truly is listening to our community and working to make the game as great as we all know that it can be. We appreciate your patience.

@Sambei_Gaming We are happy to hear that you feel this way about our game. You can also look forward to the Closed Beta as it's not going to be under NDA or confidential. You are free to discuss openly and create content about any gameplay experiences you have during this test.
@Gorhowl_JJ We are happy to see that you are content with our decision. It wasn't an easy decision but we thought it's crucial that we add proper mid and end-game content before release so that you guys can enjoy the game properly. Thank you for your patience and support.

@soulful_bastard Hello Hamster, good question! The current plan for Alpha Test is to add only a European server at this time. We will announce any additional servers before they come online.
@MrDojii Pre-ordering will guarantee access to the Closed Beta Test, but not the confidential Alpha Test. You will need to sign up to here participate in the Alpha: https://www.newworld.com/en-us/tester-sign-up -> So since you pre-ordered you are 100% in the beta! π
@Cmeckz If you've signed up to be a part of the testing pool, that's the only criteria you currently need to meet. Invitations are sent randomly from that pool as the team determines more testers are needed. We appreciate your support!
@PaulVanVleck We wish you the happiest of birthdays, Paul! Check out our New World News, here, https://www.newworld.com/en-us/news. All of the devs announcements regarding weapons and a lot more are there.
@gfoster610 We appreciate your support of New World as the team works hard. As we continue New World's Alpha Test phase, we will be expanding with dedicated EU servers on March 30, 2021. With these new servers, EU Adventurers will be able to experience the Alpha test with less latency.
@BelieveeinMeee We've been in Alpha testing since late October. This current Alpha will expand to include EU servers on March 30th. No firm end date has currently been announced.
@EthanGarnett10 Great, if you've signed up, then that's really all you need to do. Alpha invitations are random and not influenced by any particular criteria. There will be more invitations going out soon to help populate our expanded EU Alpha servers launching at the end of March.
@ChrisMessick13 Thanks so much for the kind words and supportive attitude, Chris. The team is truly working hard every day to bring about a fantastic game and experience for our community.
@soulful_bastard In order to better support our global players, we will have servers in the following regions for the Closed Beta test: North America East, North America West, Central Europe, Asia Pacific, and South America.
