Last month, Amazon made known their intention to launch Seasonal Servers for New World: Aeternum accompanying the Season 7 update on January 21. They provided an overall idea of the intentions behind these servers that would permanently mark players of the open-world MMORPG for PvP from level 15 onwards. The developer recently revealed a comprehensive discussion about the Seasonal World PvP, including the concept behind it, the development process, and the potential rewards for players.
The article talks about the measures taken by the developers to entice players to the servers. It explains how the Ethereal and Conquerors items will function on these servers, such as how Ethereal items can grant players Wrathstones or produce Ethereal Dust when dismantled. The Ethereal Dust is a newly introduced resource utilized to reveal and unlock fresh Conquerors gear crafting methods.
To ease the player’s progress, XP, weapon proficiency and tradeskill XP gains have been increased by 25%. Furthermore, the Mount Skill automatically unlocks at level 15 without needing any quests, and the Heartrune equip slot is defaultly unlocked.
The developers also comprehensively describe the rewards that players can earn on these servers, while ensuring these rewards do not influence live servers or their economies. A deeper explanation about that and the endgame details can be found in the article on the New World site.
