New World’s Economy shuts down again

After Amazon Game Studios discovered a new item duplication exploit last weekend, it took New World’s player-driven economy offline for the second time in less than a month. This has had a lot of impact on many players who buy New World Coins in order to trade equipment and items.

“We know that there may be duplication exploits on forums and social media,” Amazon Game Studios wrote in a post on the game’s official forum. “During our investigation, we will prohibit all forms of wealth transfer between players, including sending currency, guild treasury, trading post, player to player trading, etc. Any player who takes part in using this vulnerability will be prosecuted.”

All this stems from duplicate trophies. Players can place these items at home to get powerful passive rewards. Players need to spend a lot of New World Coins to make top trophies or buy from other players, so duplicate trophies are bound to cause a great impact.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time New World has encountered this problem. Just a few weeks ago, the early Gold Duplication paralyzed New World’s Economy for a whole day. This problem ended with Amazon Game Studios repairing the game and compensating the damaged player with 5000 New World Coins.

New World recently released a PTR where players can try out upcoming changes to the game, including the addition of new Void Gauntlet weapons. Amazon Game Studios is also working on additional battle balance updates and the ability to transfer characters between regions. During this time, Amazon Game Studios may be busy all night long. Players who still have confidence in New World can Buy New World Coins on IGGM before all this comes. IGGM offers a 5% discount, the discount code is "NW5" .
