Summary

After nearly four weeks and several hundred hours, reaching level 60 leaves him bored, empty, and satisfied with his character. He says queues disappeared after week two, high-level zones feel lonely, and dwindling players undermine the MMO’s social appeal. Frustrating tanking, teammate blame, and aversion to toxic PvP or hardcore endgame content lead him to quit New World.

Insight

Initial immersion again collapses when novelty, progression, and social momentum disappear.
