In New World server transfers now have side effects. It is said that the biggest Twitch streamer from Hungary invaded an English-speaking server with 500 players and devastated it. On reddit, players are angrily calling for his ban: He is ruining New World. The streamer says people are just upset because they can’t defend their territories against even 50 players.
Who is he?
- KriszhAdvice is the most watched streamer in Hungary over the last 365 days. Admittedly, that’s not so hard: Hungary is not known for its large Twitch scene. On average, KrizshAdvice has 1,857 viewers. The biggest streamer in Germany, a certain MontanaBlack, has 25 times as many viewers.
- In recent weeks, KrizshAdvice has only played New World and has apparently built a relatively large community there.
- Now players from the English-speaking server Aqulia are complaining on reddit: He had already destroyed his own server and is now coming with the server transfer to theirs.
Coordinated server transfer via Instagram – post gets 6,000 likes
What he did: On October 23, the streamer called on his followers via Instagram to change the server together. The post has over 6,000 likes (via instagram).
The Hungarian streamer writes: Many had already changed the day before, but then a bug temporarily interrupted the server transfer: Nevertheless, everyone who can should switch. “The clans are ready and will take anyone in our community,” he writes.
“Zerg of 500 players” wants to destroy server
These are the effects: A user from the English-speaking community complains on reddit: The streamer and his fanbase have destroyed their own server (Harmonia EU). Now they have invaded their server Aqulia.
It is said that over 500 people have practically taken over the faction “Marauder. Accusingly it is said on reddit: They wouldn’t write any English on an English-speaking server, but “their” language.
It is said that the streamer would start a zerg rush with “hundreds of people”, takeover cities, and they would harass members of other factions and “mass report people”.
What is the demand? In the thread, it is stated that the behavior has “extremely negative impacts on the success of the game”. People should report the streamer and Twitch must enforce their usage rules. They are essentially calling for a ban.
Three clips with more than 4,000 views have been created about the streamer, which are supposed to prove that he is reporting people and destroying the server.
However, the Twitch clips that are supposed to show the streamer’s shameful behavior have now been blocked – apparently by the streamer himself.
Streamer calls for help from Amazon
What the streamer says: He turns to Amazon and says in English: People are making things up just to get him banned. They are simply angry that they couldn’t manage to defend against 50 players. Now they want to defend their territories by having him banned.
The players are taking clips out of context to portray it as if he is trying to bully people by reporting them. But if you rewind the clip just one minute, you can see that he is being harassed by the people and he is rightly reporting them.
What’s behind it: This is a particular side effect of the server transfer that was not expected, but actually seems logical. If the server transfer is free, such “server raids” are possible.
Apparently, what critics most feared about “Twitch streamers in New World” has happened on the streamer’s home server: A streamer is popular and coordinates his community so well that his faction dominates a server so much that it is no longer fun for others to engage in PvP:
- For those affected on the server that is now being “invaded”, this is a difficult situation because they suddenly face the task of fending off a coordinated attack from outside.
- For the streamer and his community themselves, this is certainly a huge fun.
One may be curious how Amazon will handle the situation.
“Streamers” are a red rag for some players; they definitely do not want them on their server because they just cause trouble. With server transfers, there is now the problem that you have to deal with streamers, even if you actually wanted to avoid them:
