Fans are furious following sudden New World server transfer changes

Amazon just clarified that their original information was incorrect. The truth is, players can only transfer characters to worlds within the same region.

To no one's surprise, fans are complaining about how they're wasting their time playing characters in servers without their friends. The worst part here is that there are other server transfer restrictions in place as well. In addition to limiting players from transferring regions, Amazon hasn't solved the server capacity problems yet. Because of this, players still can't transfer their characters to a full world. Not to mention, players cannot transfer characters to a world where they have existing characters already.

TLDR; Amazon wants players who initially joined servers in other regions to make new friends instead.

Kidding aside, this is a dilemma that Amazon will want to solve soon. New World hasn't been out for a month yet and it's already receiving this much backlash. How Amazon handles this could decide the future of New World. It would be a shame if the MMO loses favor among its growing player base just because Amazon failed to convey the correct information upfront or doesn't compensate affected players properly.

The way that we see it, even if Amazon can't let players transfer in between regions, the least it could do is to give players who are stuck playing in different regions something that would make it easier to start from scratch.
