Open beta was around 39gb so it would be nice to think a reduction has come about due to some performance/delivery improvements.

Bifrost could be a good call. Some UK interest shown but nothing zergy going on.

A reddit survey of ~1400 results was made over the last week and the following site put up to show the info: https://newworldsurvey.netlify.app/

Think I will be rolling up on Bifrost. Seems to be a few UK companies and players are going to be on there so seems a reasonable choice

Cheapest price for this? Thought you would have gotten a discount if prime member, but no

I expect at some point down the road it will be included with a prime subscription but a ways off for that yet

Are there any disadvantages if I pass for the next few weeks and join in then or will I get behind ? didnt play the beta so whats the main aim of the game ? loot and craft

You do get special Prime loot on day one so make sure you get that

Most likely some useless **** that will be used once and then sit taking up space in your storage/bank.

you get the advantage of seeing which servers arent one sided thanks to streamers and if anyone is still playing in 1-2 weeks

Its 35 quid they probably could sell just as many copies at 40, 45 or 50 thanks to modern game prices.
I'd argue it's pretty reasonable

Unless your goal is to be number 1 in something then no, you won't miss out. As with all new releases there will be a steady stream of players new to the game over the next few weeks.

Waiting a week may actually be a good thing as on launch there will be choke points where everyone is a similar level and need to kill that one named boss (previous patch notes have said such scenarios are improved). A couple weeks down the line you may find some stats which might better help your decision of server to join in respect to player numbers and distribution across factions (many polls suggest faction balance should be pretty good but then it's the viewpoint of people already interested in the game who will shrug things off like Covenant being 'zealots').

Cool what Server are you guys joining ?

Taking a punt. I've barely been on my steam account the last year or so and still had 25 quid in the wallet from a gift which is nice.
Good to see the preload is up. Even if it falls flat on its arse after a few months I will had got my moneys worth.

Have had a read and looks like the brits are heading to Midgard or Bifrost?
So long as I avoid the "streamer" ones.. nothing personal just they will be more rammed than the petrol station

midgard has a bunch of streamers all going syndicate and one has 122k followers so probably ends up dominating the server, and if they start playing some other game loads of the server pop will leave with them so your on a dead low pop server

Bifrost seems way better according to that site.
I'ma skip buying the game for atleast a few hours until it's clear wat servers arent unbalanced

there's going to be loads of no skill zergs surely just ruining the fun

Moley · 27 Sep 2021 at 20:53

Sounds like lots of us are going Bifrost then.

Clairvoyant · 27 Sep 2021 at 20:58

Bifrost it is.

Etheco · 27 Sep 2021 at 21:16

Yeh I am rolling Bifrost based on that google sheet seems best bet.

Throrik · 27 Sep 2021 at 21:29

Might as well join the masses and go Bifrost, I've done zero research.

Matty8787 · 27 Sep 2021 at 22:26

Bitfrost ahoy

Joe Jones · 27 Sep 2021 at 22:30

I'm leaning towards Bifrost having looked at a ton of stuff lately.

It could be one of the 'cool' name server that naturally attracts people so expect there to be queues.
