New World has announced that players who engaged with the game during a limited window of time will be given compensation, including numerous useful items, for transfer issues on February 19. The developers of New World have been busy updating the title and bringing it back to the forefront of the gaming world. In November 2024, the MMO was even brought to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 in an attempt to expand its player base.
Season 7 of New World launched in January, which is when the issue with transfers began. After a major update, players were able to move characters between worlds that would normally have been restricted. This led to a number of issues, as gamers were suddenly able to trade items and capture PvP areas that would have typically been inaccessible. Accounts that took advantage of the moment were immediately suspended, and New World went down for maintenance in order to correct the issue. Unfortunately, a lot of damage had already been done and reversing it took some time. A large portion of the community was understandably upset, leading the developers to try and find a way to get back in the good graces of players.
In a recent post on Twitter, New World stated that Season 7 players can expect to receive compensation for recent transfer issues on February 19. The process will begin at 9:30 AM PT, but it could take four hours before all is said and done. In order to be eligible for compensation, gamers must have logged into New World at some point between January 21 and February 3. Many fans have been eagerly awaiting an update on the situation, and now they finally have some answers.
Compensation Breakdown
- 1 Box of Warding
- 2 Combat Boxes
- 1 Premium Food Chest
- 1 Elite Combat Box
- 15,000 Faction Tokens
Many gamers have been happy with the way the developers have responded, appreciating the items being offered as a sufficient apology for the problems they experienced.
2025 has proven to be a big year for New World, as the title has introduced several new features as part of its roadmap. Seasonal Worlds have been a big hit with many players, placing a heavy emphasis on PvP. These new zones are dangerous, as there’s no way to disable player combat, and the loot dropped by other gamers has been significantly improved. With so many big changes and even more updates planned for 2025, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of New World.
