In its current state, New World might not survive if wealth transfer is disabled again in the future, and that’s because of the fact that the population has dramatically reduced over time. One of the reasons why this is the case is that it’s punishing for crafters and gatherers, especially, due to weight limits in their inventories and storage. This often leads to players being stuck in settlements while the economy is shut down because they can’t sell anything.

Something similar happened to a Reddit user by the name of Few-Gazelle-91, who shared a post on the platform telling the tale of how they became a statue in Windsward. The New World player tried to acquire an incredible amount of water in order to sell it at a profitable rate, but when the economy was shut down, they over-encumbered themselves to 15,000 weight out of 415 maximum weight, effectively hindering movement. The player tried to use the unstuck command to be teleported near the storage, but this too didn’t work because it was still too far to access.
New World is available now on PC.
