New World players that need to step away from their game for a few minutes are curious about exactly how long they have before getting kicked from a server.

The AFK timer in New World gives players twenty-five minutes to return to their game before they get kicked off the server. The game warns players with a notification at the twenty minute mark.

New World gamers will want to make sure they don't stay away from their game for more than twenty-five minutes if they wish to stay on their current server. Considering the queue is notoriously slow in New World, players won't want to endure the pain of waiting to join a new server if they can avoid it.

The good news for New World fans is that the developers have already acknowledged the slow wait times and what they intend on doing to improve it. In a recent tweet, the official New World account explained that they'll soon be adding more servers as well as increasing the overall capacity of their current servers.

With New World being so in-demand, the developers are sure to get additional servers up in the near future. After all, they want as many people playing New World and enjoying their experience of it as possible.

While slow queue times are certainly always frustrating, it seems likely that New World players will continue to tolerate the issue in the meantime.
