A little over two months after New World's massive launch, Amazon Game Studios is beginning to merge servers amid dropping player counts.
The game's first server merge, the central EU server Mardi, will merge into the EU server Brittia. That was set to happen December 8, but following widespread Amazon Web Services outages that affected New World, will instead happen December 9. Two more merges, this time for all of the servers that make up the Central EU Vanaheim Terra world set and the South American Nibiru Mu world set, will happen on December 10.
Those merges are likely to just be the beginning. New World saw more than 900,000 concurrent players shortly after launch, leading to long login queue times. In response, Amazon rapidly created new servers for players to create characters on, promising free server transfers later. Fast forward to now, and the end result of server transfers and a decreasing active playerbase is that many of the game's servers created to ease login woes are now ghost towns with only a few hundred active players. While the game is still popular, as of writing it's the fourth most played game on Steam with a peak concurrent player count of more than 114,000, there are simply more servers than there are players to fill them.
