Shroud also adds that new players will always fall behind. Even after they reach max level, they won’t be able to keep up with other players:
There will often be new zones, new content, and new gear. You just reached max level and got your first good gear, and then you see ‘oh damn’, there’s already better stuff.

This compromise is what the streamer demands: According to shroud, the developers should implement a catch-up mechanism that allows casual gamers to save time. So far, nothing like this exists, which could also be a good thing.
“Time-saver packs” already exist in the gaming industry in abundance. However, they are usually sold for real money. They appear more often in single-player RPGs than in MMOs. This is also the case in Assassin’s Creed or Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
Considering how popular New World is right now, there are surely casual gamers among the roughly 700,000 concurrent players. It remains to be seen how difficult it will actually be for these players to keep up.
This problem prevents playing: These worries only arise when it is actually successful and you manage to join a server. But don’t worry, the developers already have a solution: New World is struggling with full servers, soon offering free character transfers as a solution
Michael “shroud” Grzesiek explained in one of his recent streams why New World is not suitable for casual gamers with little time. According to him, you need to bring more than an hour.
Amazon Game Studios’ New World was released yesterday and the launch was rather sluggish for many. The servers were consistently overloaded and some players spent hours in the queue.
Important hours that many players actually could not or did not want to spare. For these casual gamers, US streamer shroud has a special message: “Stay away!”
This is why shroud thinks certain players should stay away from New World
Some players, including shroud, have already spent dozens of hours on the new MMORPG New World. Shroud himself is completely hooked on the grind factor of the RPG and believes he has recognized what type of player this MMO is made for – or rather who it is not for:
I would recommend anyone who does not have the necessary time to stay away from the game. […] If you can only play this game for an hour a day, I don’t think you will ever reach the end.
