Not many do, but right now the fervor is hot for a new immersive MMORPG experience, and that seems to be reflected in these numbers.

Inevitably, there\u2019s always a drop after the surge, but new content, fixes for the many little bugs that are there, and more can keep the New World train rolling. After 100 hours, I\u2019m still not at level cap and haven\u2019t seen the whole map yet, so there\u2019s lots to do for now. I still stop to harvest every iron vein I see. What do you think?
