During the week of October 4 to 10, much was again about New World. But Guild Wars 2, Lord of the Rings Online, and WoW also made headlines. We from MeinMMO summarize all the important MMORPG news of the week for you.
The highlight of the week: New World is still extremely present. However, more and more complaints about the game are also emerging:
- Apparently, players are being falsely reported so that they are temporarily banned and cannot participate in wars.
- In general, there are currently discussions about endgame PvP and that players are almost being forced into a large guild.
- The “Untrusted System File” error occurred after a new update.
- First bots are taking over fishing spots.
- MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch also believes that New World makes too many mistakes in the social aspects.
The scandal of the week: In Guild Wars 2, over 80 accounts were banned, including well-known PvP faces. All of them are said to have cheated in tournaments.
The discussion of the week: In New World, a guild leader stole from his guild and then switched to the enemy faction. Over 100 comments discussed whether the behavior is acceptable or should be punished by Amazon.
