The idea was: play on whatever server you could for now, and you’ll be able to switch to the server your friends are on in a few weeks. A tweet from the official New World account stated plainly that, “Yes, you can move between regions if you want.” Yesterday, a New World community manager offered an update on the server transfer feature. The main news was that the update was delayed into next week, but it also states that you “can move your character to any world in your region.” Then, a “server transfer questions” thread puts it more plainly: This is obviously bad news for players who have just invested dozens of hours into a character that they can’t now move to play with friends. Unfortunately the original information provided was incorrect. It’s a shame, because aside from being popular, Alice B is quite enjoying it in her New World review in progress.
