The failure was spectacular because of how incredibly popular it was at launch. They went from needing more servers faster than they could add them to having dozens upon dozens of servers having no more than five people on them extremely quickly.

The story of Amazon's "New World" is a pretty unique one. It released with the usual buzz and became - surprisingly - insanely popular.
It did? I thought it failed spectacularly. I know playing the beta I thought it was really bad. I still have to go back to WoW every once in a while to get my MMO fix because most others just suck. I love ESO's world but it's console controls just ruin it. I need tons of buttons to mash in an MMO. What I really want is a new City of Heroes.
The story of Amazon's "New World" is a pretty unique one. It released with the usual buzz and became - surprisingly - insanely popular. That in and of itself isn't that strange; Helldivers and Palworld did that as well recently. But in New World's case there was a special breed of utter incompetence hiding beneath what appeared to be a modern and beautiful looking MMO. To detail all of the mistakes the development team made, both before and post launch, would take hours. In the end, you have to marvel at how an MMO can appear modern and well-made when it was being run by people that might not have ever played a videogame before, much less an MMO.
