On November 2nd, the so-called Fresh Start will take place in New World. Servers are opened that can only be entered by completely new characters. Basically, players experience a second release. We at MeinMMO tell you everything about the time, names and special features of the servers.
When does the Fresh Start take place? The new servers will start at different times on November 2nd. Four servers will be opened for Europe, each of which will appear one hour later:

Old characters cannot enter the new servers for the time being
What makes the Fresh Start so special? New World faced a number of issues at launch, including gold dupes and other economic exploits. Some players were so bothered by it that they quit the MMORPG because of it.
The “Fresh Start” servers, however, start from scratch. Everyone starts fresh, no one benefits from exploits, and it kind of feels like a second release. A transfer between the new worlds is not possible for the time being.
However, the developers revealed that at some point in the future the servers will also be opened for transfer so that friends from old and new servers can play together. However, the new servers should never be merged with old ones, not even in the future.
Can I also participate as a veteran? Yes, even veterans can create a new character and start over on the servers with that character. In line with this, every account will get a third character slot on November 2nd.
