As MMO players flock to Amazon Game Studios’New Worldplayer numbers blow up, Amazon has taken the measure of stopping new character creation on full servers. They’ve also launched a Server Status page for New World, which will tell you if it’s full, up, down, or undergoing maintenance. Amazon Game Studios announced the change viaTwitter.
Characters already created on a full server can still queue to log in and play. AGS has been clear that a character transfer feature is coming to New World sooner rather than later, so is encouraging players to make characters on a low population server and get playing now rather than wait in queues to play.

New World has been successful beyond anyone’s expectations for the MMO, as buzz grew to a fever pitch in the last few weeks.

The studio itself admits that the runaway success was a huge surprise, andnumbers grew very quickly very close to launch.
