New World

On Valhalla the yellow chat is barely moving now. No Chest runs or group finds. This game might be dead tomorrow. A bunch of players around North WW planted res tents everywhere.

I agree that the game actually improved a lot compared to where it had been. I played 1100+ hours so I cannot say the game was bad. It did a lot of things right. What a let down to have come out with an expansion so good that it caused a 4k+ Que at night because so many came back, only to essentially shut it down a few weeks later. Yes the servers are on until 2026 but they could have just saved the money and shut them down next week for all the good the announcement did.

Amazon didn't start a rumor about the game being shaken, they had a press release. It's dead, Jim.

Damn, that sucks

I had gotten kinda tired of the game, but I came back when the new content dropped and my old guildies decided to get the team together again. I honestly think if they had launched the game with many of the improvements they added later (no keyed dungeon bullshit, less forced walking, improved gearing system), it probably would not have bled so many players as quickly.

Well, at least the existing Lord of the Rings MMO is safe now

Problem was, they were not charging cash for this shit. Other than the entrance fee. And im pretty positive, with the lackluster cash shop, that shit was not working out either. So it was pretty much a cash sink for Amazon.

They are pinning their hopes on Luna (free with Amazon Prime) and console games. No one streams games and consoles are dead. These people are allergic to good decision making.

That is what I was thinking earlier. I bet they are messaging everyone at Amazon to try and buy it.

Get woke, go broke. Now all the DEI hires at Amazon will have to get real jobs.

The game had its share of issues, but "woke" didn't even rank in the top 1000 of them

But hey, beep boop parrot stuff about a game you probably never played in any capacity

This is the reason I play a season of WoW every new expac. So many people refuse to do this for "reasons" that hate WoW. Then on a dumpsterfire broken game or some gofundme game with 0 players.

WoW is a consistent experience you can count on-- early access and life support aren't my thing.
