Placed in a different starting zone to your friends in New World? The closed beta for Amazon’s new MMO is currently live, and – as we all know – starting out in a new MMO with friends can be a lot of fun. However, in New World, it isn’t necessarily as easy as it may first appear.
After creating a new character and playing through the tutorial, you’re then stranded on a sandy beach littered with shipwrecks. However, there are multiple beaches upon which you could find yourself spawning at the start of the game. This means that even though you’ve created a character at the same time as your friends, you could end up miles apart when you spawn in.
Still, distance isn’t too much of a barrier; sprinting across a treacherous map to reunite with your buddies isn’t impossible, even if you run into a grumpy alligator and die once or twice. The real problem is that you are locked in to the starting quests in your zone, so even when you’re reunited with your pals, you won’t have the same quests or be able to progress together – that is, unless you follow this handy tip.
