Server full in New World? Soon you’ll be able to switch worlds for free and play together with your friends.
MMOs are primarily designed to be played together with friends. All the more annoying that the completely overcrowded servers of New World currently make it impossible to choose your favourite server. Only a few of the currently available German servers even allow new characters. But there is to be a remedy.
The developers promise a free character transfer. This means: You can choose a server now that will accept you without a queue in order to be able to play at all, and later move with your character to another server for free in order to join your friends in the same world. We have summarised all the information known so far about the server change for you in a clear overview.

When is the free character transfer coming?
The character transfer was announced on 1 October 2021 via Twitter There, the developers promised that the feature was a “top priority” for them and they plan to make it live next week. According to this, the free character transfer should ideally be available by 10 October.
Is it important which world set you have chosen?
According to the developers, you can also change servers regardless of the world set you have chosen. So you don’t have to pay attention to which server you choose, but can simply play on one that still allows new players.
In addition to the server names and the server region, the servers also have a world set – for example, Vanaheim Nu and Vanaheim Rho. These world sets are intended to merge some servers of the same world set later on. At the moment, many more servers are live than originally planned in order to get the long queues under control. When the player numbers have settled down, some of them will probably no longer be needed and less busy servers will be merged into one.
Can you also change the region?
There has been some confusion as to whether character transfer also works between regions – i.e. whether you can switch from the EU to a US server, for example. According to a Forum answer from a support staff member, you can play in any region, but you have to create a new character. The switch will not work between regions.
How many server changes per character are there?
We checked with Amazon to see how many times you can have your character moved for free and if the offer applies to all your available characters. Also, whether there will be other possibilities to change the server for a fee later on. As soon as we have received an answer, we will add this information for you.
