I got to level zero! I created a character that looked like every other character. I was the same height and body style as everyone else. I was the same race.

And then I watched some people fight and it was all this giant jumble of explosions and whooshes and sparklies with numbers flying everywhere.
I didn't do any quests because they are all the same trivial ask. I didn't do any crafting because it's just makework to keep you busy. I didn't go into any dungeons because there weren't any. I didn't participate in pvp because that is locked behind 100s of hours of pointless crafting, I mean pointless other than serving as a gate to the content you actually want.
Then I looked at their chat functionality. Then I logged off and got a refund. Complete and utter trash buoyed by graphics that they obviously spent all their time and money on to hook people in with flash over substance.
I can't think of a single mechanic or feature in this game that is innovative. It's literally all the same recycled ideas from a bunch of different games.
I don't need to swim in shit for six hours. I smelled it before I even jumped in.
I understand why people want to give this soulless adventure in corporate game-making a shot. Because there hasn't been a major mmo release in 4 years and the most popular one is 20 years old and the highest rated one is 9. However, New World is junk. Sorry. I really am. I wish New World was worth it, just to keep the mmo genre solid and fruitful.

That's a whole lot of words to say you don't know anything other than what it looks like. It reads like you took a bunch of misinformed steam reviews, tossed them in a blender, and this is what came out.
