While it’s a pretty solid game at its core, New World has suffered through its fair share of problems since launch. World transfers were a bit of a confusing mess, there was a gold exploit that came with it, and now, Amazon has taken drastic measures in an effort to resolve issues surrounding another gold duplication exploit.
Those measures include halting all wealth transfers in the game including trading, sending currency to players and the guild treasury, and selling and buying items through the trading post. The tax system has also come to a halt, which means that town income is at a standstill and it’s become impossible to upgrade crafting stations or defenses.
To make matters worse, wars and invasions are still ongoing during this period of time, so if a town gets completely wrecked by an invasion, it’s pretty much impossible to bring your affected stations back to their original levels. There’s no ETA on when currency transfers will be available in the game again, but we’ll keep you updated as more info comes our way.
New World is now available on PC.
