How you all feel about the New World mmo that is on the way? I just learned about its existence recently. How you all feel about it? Word is it was supposed to been a survival game that later was made into a MMO. I want to know how housing works. But it's interesting that this sandbox mmo has optional pvp. Would like to see the difference combat skills we can have at once.

If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
They have a lot of money to throw at this. New World is more than just Amazon's first MMO. Its their first game showcasing their proprietary engine, framework, & AWS.
They want to sell Lumberyard more than they want to sale the game. However the game is almost as important in this whole scenario since you need the game to preform well for dev shops to be remotely interested in the overhead that may be associated with switching from Unreal4.
I expect it to be brilliantly average compared to most other games in its genre but it'll run a whole hell of a lot smoother.
The good thing about this, is that they are iterating and learning, which means bad stuff might get scrapped; I like this, it is very refreshing compared to other developers.
The other side of the coin is obviously, it can also quickly apply the bad mechanics and features of other modern mmos... Especially if the "experts" and beancounters gets too much influence.
So, lets see what it will end up becomming. Hands on is the only true test. For now, I am cautiously optimistic; bunch of nice things, not so many bad..at least better than whatever else is out there..theoretically.

I want a "Worldly Game", not an "Unworldly game." All this dark world stuff isn't what I want.
I hope it's a great game for those who do like that kind of game world.
Personally, I have my doubts about it really being a Sandbox until proven otherwise, based on the history of MMO marketing. We'll see.
Once upon a time....
Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1.
Admittedly I'm more interested in fictional worlds than actual historical worlds so that's a plus.
Would have to wait and see what it actually became.
