New World players that have managed to get through the queue and into the game have also reported intermittent connectivity issues, which result in them disconnecting from the game (and subsequently rejoining the queue). Many other reviews reciprocated this sentiment. Yet they can't spare enough server capacity to launch their flagship game. "Amazon owns AWS the biggest server farm in the world they host Netflix, Facebook, Twitter and Twitch. If EA developed New World, the launch may have gone down differently.
