Hey all, I’ve closed this thread since it has derailed off discussion on New World and towards global politics, violating our Code of Conduct.

In response to the original post: Due to technical and other restrictions, the game is available only in certain locations. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with access from your current location.

Thank you for your understanding.

Greetings Adventurers,

We have removed a substantial number of duplicated items from the game. Some of the high value items the team removed include eggs, trophy materials, powerful incense, etc. However, the team believes that the remaining items will not have a long term impact on the economy.

For any permanently banned players, if you would like to appeal your ban, please use the link here: ...

We have received a lot of questions about how Luck works in New World. In addition to our developer updates and blogs, we’d like to share a more detailed overview of the luck system as well as answer some frequently asked questions.

This applies to all creature kills, opening stockpiles, chest, containers, and elite chests. It increases the potential for low drop-chance items to be earned such as furniture schematics, higher-end storage chests, and Named Weapons and apparel. Increasing your Luck will definitely make this more likely to occur, but each chance to earn something is independent of all others and there is s...

In addition to the above comment, desync remains one of the highest priorities for the team and actively being worked on.
