Game gets postponed a month or two, then launches still too soon.
Social media erupts to tell us "Its not finished".
Work goes on the game is sorted out by the Autumn.
The Past:
This has happened so many times now it is almost as if you can use the past to predict the future.

The Present: Crushed hopes and dreams, plenty of anger, angst, and tears to go around.
The Future: It could have been a contender, maybe next time.

I preordered the game because I love survival and sandbox style games, not to mention the map looks fairly large. Not sure yet if it's the same size or bigger than Conan Exiles current map.

Can you tell me or link me to the map please.
This video shows some gameplay footage without any commentary. In the beginning of the video, the player opens up the world map around the 20 second mark which gives you a good idea about the current world size, assuming the entire map is being revealed and there is no fog of war / exploration required to see more.

The map of New World is not the map shown on the gameplay videos that are all from the old alpha tests in 2019.
The alpha had been ongoing now with a new map that is adapted to the PvEvP aspect, that map you see there was when you could claim areas and openly build around.
There has been a recent update that expanded the map a lot, on the current closed alpha that resumed in Feb/March 2020. And that's as much the strict NDA allows explaining currently.

All you would have to say is, the map is the same size, bigger or smaller.
I mean it's playing that the info that is overall a tad mentioned around, but it's of course not the same map. They also do not want it to be to big for some reason and seem to be settling with 4x4km, what is Skyrym.
Either way wouldn't worry about that, the core thing that would expand after release is the game-world itself.

Does PvEvP make anybody happy? Sounds like they are trying to please both worlds and most likely won't please either.
I'm quit impressed with how the game is developing, but I'm also concerned about the release schedule. It may be ready for beta testing by the end of April, but to get a clean release, they should probably delay it until at least July.
I just found out that John Smedley is heading Amazon Games... I had such high hopes for this. I will probably cancel my pre-order now. The only thing Smedley knows is how to ruin games and make them into cookie cutter cash grabs. He did it with Star Wars Galaxies, EQ Next, and most recently HeroSong. Everything this man touches turns to crap. So sad for New World. I went from very excited and hopeful to no faith in the project whatsoever. Every time I've tried to trust Smedley since the SWG revamp he has let me down. Never again.

Amazon has 3 games studios: Orange county, San Diego and Seattle. Orange County is developing New World. Smedley is the head of just the San Diego Studio. No one knows what his studio is doing but the guess is that they're the ones working on a LOTR project.
Boycott or not, I don't care either way, but you were missing some key facts.

They have at least 4 games with 3 studios and Smedley's game is what they call "early stages".So imo barely more than a murmur.
My hunch is both teams are working to get this game ready and that Smedley's game won't go into full speed until The New World is out. Looking back in 2018 "he was hired in 2017" gives me every indication his studio was working on The New World.
Smedley is addicted to Twitter,LOL and Dota 2.He does not appear to be at all interested in a mmorpg.His new game hints at an action based game,idk though,if his interest is in LOL,i don't want any game he is making.
Someone on twitter tried to come to Smedley's defense reminding us he is partially responsible for some of the best games ever.
umm how about NO,EQ and SWG were the leaders in the industry but it was also during a time that there was literally next to no competition.Nobody else saw the mmo market as being profitable yet,so in reality,there was nothing to compare his game or quality of the game to.Some of us were still on 56k back then as well,so the market was not in full stride yet.I should also remind that FFXI blows the doors off of EQ1 and that was only 3 years later.Also they barely spent 3 years making EQ,more like 2 1/2 years.
He has had WAY more failures,even to the point he was BRAGGING about what a success his kids game was then shut it down only a year later.His TCG early exit,the Planetside games are to me lol junk.Landmark..fail,,eqN ..fail,H1Z1 fail ,he has had ONE successful game in his entire career ..lol.BTW SWG was not a success,he made the changes because the game was bleeding players.
