The developers of New World have published a list of known issues for the launch of Aeternum. It is quite long and covers various areas of the MMORPG.
Anyone who follows the MeinMMO ticker for today’s launch of New World Aeternum or has played it themselves will likely agree: the launch has gone relatively smoothly so far. Server issues have been limited, aside from an Xbox error, and thanks to the constant supply of new worlds, the queues have remained manageable.
That there are still quite a few issues in the new version of New World is shown by the official list of currently known problems from Amazon Games, which you can find at amazongames.com. Since this list is in English, you will find the translated summary below.
