These new worlds won’t allow players to transfer their characters over, which means that all gold, items, and leveling will occur within those new worlds. For many, being able to jump on a Fresh Start World is going to be like a dream come true, as many fans within the community have been begging for newly made servers since a few months after the game’s release. If you’re one of those players, you won’t have much longer to wait.
You’ll still need to worry about farming for Rawhide and collecting Saltpeter if you plan to craft your own gear and ammunition, but the starting quests will see some drastic changes. Many players are already checking out these changes in the game’s Public Test Realm, which offers a beta of sorts for players to try out big updates and patches.
Many players have been begging for Fresh Start Worlds after New World’s launch saw an uptick in servers falling under the rule of big streamer groups. This caused a lot of controversy within the community, as big streamers playing the game would create massive companies and take over entire servers.
While many servers eventually recovered, some didn’t, and thus players have hoped to see Fresh Start Worlds quite a bit. So, with the launch of these new worlds on November 2, 2022, many players will hopefully be able to jump in and experience the new starting questline and everything that a fresh start in New World offers.
