New World Is Implementing New Measures To Crack Down On Players Going Afk

For starters, New World’s full servers won’t accept new character creations, with full servers will appearing greyed out, preventing players from accidentally picking them as a home for their new characters. In a forum post, community manager HardcoreHenry noted that the team has “seen a lot of frustration around individuals who may be artificially remaining active enough in servers to avoid the automatic AFK mitigation that is built into New World” and are upping the severity of penalties that you’ll be subject to if you AFK consistently in New World. If you can get into the game, you may enjoy knowing that we recently updated our New World guides with new content. Some answer quick questions like where to find the Rune of Holding and where to find Boatswain Ambrose. Others go deeper, like our PvE and PvP build recommendations and this guide covering armour crafting and gear score.
