Our Community Rules primarily strive to apply the Lemmy.zip CoC to our discussions of New World, establishing a better community for those who enjoy this game. First and foremost, follow the CoC, and then follow our rules:

  1. Kindness and Maturity. Tasteful dunking on the subjects of a given post or enemy factions is fine, but there is no need to be rude or aggressive toward users in this community. It's a game. Being unpleasant about it does not enrich you nor others.
  2. Quality Discussions. Avoid unstructured critique and hyperbolic claims that terminate meaningful discourse.
  3. Inclusivity. Beyond what that means for the wider Lemmy community, that also means welcoming and respecting everyone no matter how they choose to play New World. Console? Casual? Perpetually sweaty? Welcome one and all.
  4. Free of Spam. We're on Lemmy because ads suck—don't give us more. Promote your content with respectful frequency. Recruitment is limited to the Megathread or direct messages.

Hey all, I was wondering what do y'all think about the game after the recent relaunch. What is the state of things? Is it worth returning and if so, does it make sense to start anew on new servers, or just continue with the old character?

I don't have the Angry Earth expac so mainly wondering if it is worth the additional buy in price.

I went back to it and am really enjoying it, using my existing characters. The servers they were on are gone, but was easy to find a new one. And after paying my housing upkeep, all my stuff is still there.

I'd stopped playing before Angry Earth was released (and when watermarking was still a thing). Almost all of the issues I had with it at fixed, and some great QoL and story updates.

Still getting used to the increased gear levels, level adjustments in some zones, and such.
