The game is mismanaged.
It had a rough start, lost almost the entirety of its player base within a couple of months, made a semi-comeback, just to repeat all the mistakes from the launch.
I am an avid PvP'er, DAoC, EVE and GW2 being my standard.
Open world PvP in New World does not exist, nobody flags up, as there is little incentive to do so.
PvE rewards trump PvP rewards by far.
Large parts of the game like the faction vendor shop have been abandoned.
Arena consists of one very small map.
Exploits, duping, aim botting and botting are rampant. Nothing gets really fixed for good, just temporarily to be broken again.
AGS claims that their game is server authorative, but the server side checks either do not exist or are ultra buggy.
There is no balance, each new weapon is broken for months.
Client performance is abysmal, desynchs, frame loss from continuous weapon swapping. No real full screen mode.
Crafting is a casino gamble.
If you like to run the same dungeon over and over again, with no purpose, then this is the game for you.
Other than that, stay away.
